Private Tour

The tour departs from the cruise terminal towards Castelmola (approximately 45 minutes by road).
Castelmola is a small village on the top of Taormina with a wonderful view of Mount Etna.
After about an hour we move to Taormina, one of the most beautiful cities in Italy, reachable only on foot and full of shops and restaurants.
After about 2 or 3 hours we return to Messina, but not before a nice panoramic tour of Isola Bella.
As a last stop, we will visit the Sanctuary of Christ the King, a panoramic point over the Strait of Messina, and the Duomo cathedral, where you can admire the largest astronomical clock in Europe.
The timetable is designed to make the most of your time in Sicily and to be perfectly on time with the cruise ship.

We loved Taormina and Castelmola. The tour was private and Jenny and Francesco were excellent.We were able to taste homemade cannoli and rice balls Jenny took us to an excellent restaurant in Messine where we had great food,

Amazing day with Paria!! Booked this tour on a port stop with cruise. Paria as our tour guide and the driver made the day exceptional! She was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, funny and attentive to all our wishes for an amazing day out. It was by far our group of 4 favorite day! At the end of the day we were all sorry to have to say good bye to them. Thank you for an amazing day and highlight of our vacation!

I highly recommend this awesome tour in Sicily! Alberto was our driver and Kiara our guide and both were terrific! Easy pick up as soon as we got off the cruise ship in Messina. We were a group of 6 and added a stop in Savoca. Next we continued onto Castelmola, Taormina and then Messina. Our favorite excursion of our trip! Truly a must do. Thank you!!!
