Discover the villages of Taormina and Castelmola and their unique and impressive views with us.
Castelmola Sicily is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, at 550 meters above sea level. We will wind up in its panoramic square, where we will be surprised by the view, on one side, of Mount Etna- the highest active volcano in Europe. We stop also at local cafès to taste the typical sweet almond wine.
Our day tour continues with a Taormina tour, to visit the most popular tourist destination of Sicily, which was recently made if possible even more famous by the second season of White Lotus Sicily.
During the Taormina tour in Corso Umberto, you will be fascinated by an explosion of colors, sounds, and flavors typical of Sicily. Don’t miss churches, ancient buildings, and exclusive boutiques, as well as great views to take fantastic photos!

5.00Our tour of Taormina and Castelmola was unforgettable, made even more special by our incredible guide, Mariarita. She was warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about the region, bringing the history and charm of both towns to life. Taormina’s ancient theater and scenic streets were breathtaking, and the peaceful hilltop village of Castelmola offered unforgettable views and authentic local flavor. A perfect day in Sicily, thanks to Mariarita’s exceptional guidance!
Very good👍

5.00The communication from this group prior to the excursion was "above and beyond". Instructions were clear and reminders were sent. The company personalized communications and made me feel valued. They were quick to respond to questions ahead of the excursion. The trip itself was also amazing and the tour guide and driver were informative and personable. If you get motion sickness at all, I advise taking Gravol ahead of time as the roads up to the top of Castelmola are a little curvy. Truly a great day and I'm happy to have booked with this company. They were attentive to timing and got us back to the cruise ship in plenty of time before departure. I'd book with them again!
Perfect day for all ages

5.00Castelmola is charming and incredibly scenic . Would have enjoyed spending more time there. Taormina is very crowded and commercial , but somehow also beautiful and elegant . Worth seeing.
