We had a fabulous time and tour with salvo and Gino our driver. Salvo is very knowledgeable and informative about Taormina history and Sicily in general! It was a perfect day. Heading back to Messina was very long as there was a highway accident. But salvo keep us informed all the way. We have enough time in both castelmola and Taormina and Messina to enjoy their qualities well done salvo

Michele was a fantastic tour guide! He was so kind, funny, and gave us a lot of great information about the history and culture of the places we visited. He recommended the best places to eat and where to get a great cannoli!

Well organized tour of Taormina and Castelmola. We started and ended on time steps from the Messina cruise port. Enjoyed hearing about Sicilian history and culture during our transit as well as seeing the beauty of the area. Michele was fantastic and very personable. Do understand this is not a guided tour after arriving to the destinations. You should have a planned itinerary prior to arriving in Taormina/Catelmola. Regardless, I highly recommend this as an alternative to what the cruise lines offer if you would like a few hours on your own to self explore.

Great tour with our guide Michael who had a good knowledge of the area. We we're on a cruise ship and Michael was waiting for us at the exit gate holding a sign with our name on. Taormina and Caslemola are beautiful towns and we'll worth the journey, we had an hour free time at Caslemola and two hours at Taormina. The whole experience was around 6 hours and we were back to the port around 15.00 in plenty of time for all aboard at 17.30. There were 6 of us on the mini bus and it could have taken 8 very modern bus with good air con and and comfortable seating.
