Savoca Taormina Castelmola tour
Overview

Mobile ticket
A tour with Alessandro 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
Once you disembark from the ship, I will wait for you at the cruise terminal, at the gate 5 exit of the port of Messina where I will be there waiting for you with a sign with your name and surname. From here we will begin our journey to Savoca, which will last approximately 1 hour by car.
Bar Vitelli
We will stop in the art city of Savoca where we can visit the Vitelli bar, where it will be possible to taste a typical Sicilian granita. Another stop on our tour will be the church of "Santa Maria in cielo Assunta" which we also find in some excerpts of the film such as that of the wedding between Michael Corleone and Apollonia.

5.00We contacted them to arrange a private tour for five people, and from the very beginning they were extremely helpful and responsive. Everything was organized smoothly and professionally. Our driver was truly wonderful — friendly, attentive, and always in a great mood, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a beautiful and memorable tour experience. We would definitely recommend them!
Very professional! Valus for money.

5.00We had an amazing tour with Alessandro - were picked up at our ship, then driven to Savoca to see The Godfather sights and have a coffee. Then to Taormina and Castelmola, with stops for photos, shopping and food/coffees as needed. One of our group has limited mobility and was accommodated wonderfully. I highly recommend this private tour for being able to get close to sights and have a personal touch. This tour was absolutely the highlight of our Mediterranean cruise!
Best guides!

5.00My husband previously wrote a great review but I wanted to add something. We traveled with my dad in an electric wheelchair and Alessandro and Marisa made sure we took accessible routes. We got to see so much and learned a lot of history while having so much fun!
Marisa and Alessandro, guides in Sicily

5.00Marisa and Alessandro were excellent as guide and driver in Sicily, obviously very knowledgeable and informative, and lots of fun as well. They were very well prepared too, as we ran into some unexpected rain and they had 4 umbrellas handy. We highly recommend them to cruise travelers over the excursions the cruise lines provide. Ask them to take you to the Turrisi Bar!
Don't hesitate! Go ahead!

5.00My husband and I travel a lot and usually do Private Tours. This was one of the best tours we have ever done. They were both hospitable, personable, professional, timely, and more generous than we could even imagine. We highly recommend you use this company for all of your tour needs.
