A tour with Alessandro Booking Sicily Tours can be special for several reasons, especially if the focus is on the quality of the experience and the authenticity of the explorations. Here are some elements that could make a tour with him unique:
1. In-depth knowledge of Sicilian History and Culture
Alessandro could have a thorough knowledge of Sicilian history, art and culture, offering participants an authentic immersion in local tradition. This makes the tour not only a visual experience, but also a cultural one, with little-known historical details and tales enriching the visit.
2. Authentic and Local Experiences
One aspect that could distinguish Alessandro’s tour is access to authentic experiences that are often not included in mass tours. This could mean visits to small villages, tastings of local products such as cannoli and almond wine.

What To Expect
Messina
The trip will be a fantastic experience. We will travel approximately 45 minutes on the motorway from Messina to Taormina.
Castelmola
Once you arrive in Castelmola you can admire one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, taste the almond wine of the famous Bar Turrisi. The characteristic of the bar is the presence of phallic shapes used as decoration. These shapes are not to be designated as a symbol of vulgarity, but as a symbol of fertility, prosperity and freedom according to Greek culture. Plus Alex will take you to taste some delicious Sicilian cannoli from the legendary Stefania Pittitti.

5.00Marisa and Alessandro were fantastic tour guides. We were able to see many different locations and Marisa was great at explaining what we were seeing. She also joined us for lunch, and we listened to her tell us about growing up in Sicily and answered all of our questions. We also enjoyed the stop at a bar and ate a delicious cannoli. We would highly recommend using them for a tour guide.
Delightful tour even with a downpour!

5.00A drive to beautiful Taormina with an energetic tour guide! Our guide was talkative and engaging. We went on this tour in late September and unfortunately hit a torrential downpour. Streets practically flooded. The guides provided rain ponchos and took us to additional sights since we didn’t walk/shop the city much due to the weather. We visited the most unique coffee shop ever - Penis decor everywhere! Our guide gave us lots of insightful info on Sicily!

5.00Sicily stole my heart as well as Marisa, Fulvio and Alessandro! This amazing trio was a perfect addition to an amazing vaction we were enjoying. They made us feel so welcomed and special. They treated us to some amazing canolies and almond liqueur at a wild and crazy bar in Castelmola. Great spots for pictures and Taormina was spectacular as well. Marisa provided the history and Fulvio was our driver. Genuine kind hearted loving people who I would recommend in a heart beat. They showed a lot of love to Louie one of our family members with down syndrom and made him feel so special as well as the rest of us. Alessandro is a gem and the icing on the cake. He would pop-up unexpectedly and make sure we were all ok and enjoying our time. They took us to a place to enjoy traditional small bites before going back to the ship. During our feast and enjoying a local beer this amazing trio, surprised us with a birthday cake for my aunt. The best way I can describe this amazing time with Marisa, Fulvio and Alessandro is we felt like part of their faimily and treated us as such. All three still while dropping us off at the pier sent us home with amazing hugs. Booking Sicily Tours is highly recommned by us. Thank you Marisa, Fulvio and Alessandro can't wait to see you again one day!

5.00We went from Messina to Taormina for a guided tour. The driver, Fulvio, and Aurora the guide were fantastic. Aurora has great knowledge of the island and its history. She ensured we had great views and beat the crowds to most locations. We were provided several hours to wander Taormina and used Aurora’s recommendation for a delightful lunch. We strongly recommend this team.
Perfect day
