we were on a cruise ship and decided to take this tour. Oleksandra was our tour guide for the day. She was so much fun and extremely knowledgeable, She made sure we were always comfortable and free of questions. Taormina and Castlemola were absolutley beautiful. We were able to taste some local treats like Arincini, granita and the best cannoli I have ever had. We were back to our cruise ship with time to spare. This was a private tour with just 2 couples and it was great. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody.
Best tour. Must do!!

The experience in Sicily would not have been the same without Angelo and Salvatore. They were precious guides and excellent guides; we were pampered for the duration of our experience which, in addition to a comfortable transfer, also included the tasting of typical Messina delicacies (all included within the travel fee). Wonderful visit to Taormina and the beach of Isola Bella. Super recommended for those who want to live an unforgettable experience. Thank you Angel and Salvatore!
Fabulous

We chose Angelo for a day tour once off the cruise ship. Fantastic day and maximum availability and kindness. Angelo is a very prepared driver, with a unique availability and kindness. he took us to different panoramic points for fantastic photos, accompanied us to Taormina and then left available even a couple of hours to swim in a wonderful beach bringing for us also deckchairs and umbrellas. Always at our disposal he also acted as a guide telling us wonderful anecdotes of his land. On board always fresh water for everyone. To close the day he accompanied us to eat the REAL Sicilian granita, pure show!.. to those who choose to visit Messina and its surroundings I highly recommend doing it with him, he made us feel welcome immediately. Thank you Angelo!

Sicily one the most quaint & beautiful places in Italy. We would gladly return and have Angelo, Michelle & Aurora show us more. From the quaint towns to delish cannoli, chocolate shops, views of Mt Etna to amazing Aranchini what a wonderful day that went to fast. The pick-up & drop-off was right next to the Cruise ship. The van was clean & air-conditioned with bottles of water. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful Sicily, teaching us to eat like a Sicilian & use correct italian grammar.
