Tour of Taormina by Fillipo

We were based in Catania so we could plan out two tours - one going east to Taormina and the other Siracusa, Ortigas and Noto. If you have only one tour to go, it must be Taormina. And if you have to book a tour ride, strongly recommend you take this by Fillipo. He’s very professional with a friendly disposition. Arrived at the hotel early and had an easy drive to Toarmina. He and his guide Claudia attended to us well. We felt relaxed, not rushed, free to do as we pleased. Fillipo even booked us the restaurant based on our preference. As we were not able to book the Siracusa trip, we did inquire from Fillipo prior to the Taormina tour if he can arrange one and luckily he was available the next day. Look for Fillipo when you visit Sicily.
Outstanding tour company, HIGHLY recommend!

My wife and I arraigned for a private tour from Messina to Taomina , Castelmola and Savoca. We had a driver (I believe Filippo) and Erika was our tour guide! IF your lucky enough to get her, she is without question the BEST tour guide we had on our month long vacation. Erika enthusiastically explained local history on our one hour drive to Savoca. Once we arrived we visited the Palace Trimarchi and San Nicola Church where Michael Corleone and Apollonian got married in The Godfather! I will say Ericka did an outstanding job with us, unfortunately my wife became ill from something she ate from the night before and we were unable to finish the tour. However I can tell you that the compassion that Filippo and Ericka showed my wife was fantastic. BTW, Ericka is a 5th year medical student and speaks perfect English. I wish I could give this company more than 5 stars!
Excellent private tour in Messina, Taormina and around

We arrived with a cruise, took a private tour with Filippo and really enjoyed it. Filippo is a knowledgeable, flexible and patient guide. His Spanish is great that was very helpful for our multinational family. Taormina is a lovely place full of history and natural beauty. All the food we tried was delicious and the restaurant Ambrosia recommended by Filippo was excellent. All is all, it was a great experience.
Perfect

Our day with Filipe and Erika was wonderful. They were accommodating, flexible and informative. We were taken to lovely viewpoints and they had reserved us the best table at a beautiful restaurant where we enjoyed great food. A trip worth doing and one that is easily tailored to yourselves.
