5.00We had an absolutely wonderful tour from Taormina to Syracuse and Ortigia, and it was truly the highlight of our trip. Our driver, Costa, was simply exceptional. His expert guidance and fluent English brought the city to life as he pointed out the most iconic landmarks. Not only did he enrich our knowledge with his deep insight, but he also recommended fantastic places to eat that we would have never found on our own. Thanks to his knowledge and warm personality, my wife and I had an absolutely splendid day. We are so happy we chose this company, especially because we found such a skilled driver. It’s a rare gem, and it made our day so entertaining. We wholeheartedly recommend this tour to everyone!
What a truly memorable day!

5.00I highly recommend this private transport service from Taormina to Siracusa and Ortigia with drop-off in Catania! Our driver, Costa, was extremely personable and knowlegeable about the area, and while he didn't persona;ly escort us to the stops, he made recommendations for places to visit and things to do in both Siracusa and Ortigia. His English is excellent and he was an engaging communicator. We felt very confident in him and had a lovely and memorable day thanks to his expertise.
