Messina
Get ready for an unforgettable experience! Our tour will start from Messina, the ancient "gateway to Sicily", where history and modernity, legends and traditions, resilience and beauty come together. After our meeting, along the panoramic road that runs along the port in the shape of a sickle, you will be able to admire the statue of the Madonna della Lettera, patron saint of Messina that welcomes anyone arriving from the sea. From here will begin our tour to two jewels of our territory: Castelmola and Taormina.
Castelmola
Our first stop will be the charming medieval village of Castelmola, perched on a hill overlooking the landscape! Castelmola, which was once the site of an ancient Norman castle, is now known to host one of the most particular bars in the world: the Bar Turrisi! An authentic Sicilian landmark known for its unique furnishings. Here we will take a break to explore the cultural significance of the iconic phallic shapes used as bar decorations. Far from being vulgar, they are a vivid tribute to ancient Greek culture, symbolising the very essence of freedom, fertility and life. This is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of the famous almond wine along with delicious Sicilian cannoli.

Our experience was seamless from start to finish. Hana was both knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the area. They even arranged a special surprise for our group! We had time to explore, eat the local food, and to shop with no stress. We left with many new memories that we won’t soon forget. I highly recommend Alessandro for your excursion. Don’t think twice- book it!

We had the best day touring Sicily with Alexandro and Pari. We had no idea we would have two wonderful guides throughout the day to show us this amazing place. They were on time picking us up in a spacious van at our cruise port. We were also back on time so no need to worry about that. I would highly recommend using this company.

Pari and Fabrizio were SO fantastic!!!! Pari was our tour guide and Fabrizio was our driver. These two exceeded our expectations and made our day wonderful, probably our favorite trip! Pari was full of interesting knowledge and she was so well spoken and intelligent. My kids learned so many interesting facts and she was so sweet and fun with them! I could not have asked for a better tour!!

We had an amazing experience booking a tour through Sicily with Fulvio, Marisa and Mac! Marisa took us through the beautiful towns of Savoca and Taormina, and every part of the day was unforgettable. Marisa and Fulvio were incredibly informative, sharing so much history, culture, and local insight along the way. More than that, they made us feel like family from the moment we met them. Fulvio and Marisa’s warmth, professionalism, and passion for Sicily truly made the tour special. We never felt rushed, and they made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves throughout the experience. We would absolutely recommend Booking Sicily Tours with Alessandro to anyone visiting Sicily and would gladly book another tour with them again in the future! Thank you for an incredible experience Santino and Caterina

If you visit Sicily and want a private tour, Alessandro and Marisa are the way to do it. Most wonderful people and just full of information and a fun time. Our family of seven loved it.

We spent an amazing day with Alessandro. A great guide, taking care of every detail for us, making the most of our short time in Taormina. An incredible plus was the a karaoke in our way to Taormina and back. He made our day!!! Thanks Alessandro!! Our best day throughout our cruise.

I would highly recommend this tour! We had a very enjoyable time, Hana was outstanding and fun and Fluvio is hands down the best driver on the island! They were very good at communicating with us before and after our tour and also were very helpful in suggestions for our next stop on our itinerary.
