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!

5.00Great tour of castlemola and Taormina. We covered a lot of ground in the amount of time we were given before having to get back to the ship. Sabrina gave great recommendations for places to eat in Taormina during our free time.
Fantastic tour

5.00Beautiful Towns, I imagine stunning scenery on a dry day. Yes we had heavy rain all through out the tour. Our tour guide Margarita (not correct spelling) she was great, good English, witty, and bought some fun to an otherwise miserable wet day. Should I have stayed on the ship, probably. It was that wet, shoes still don’t fit, backpack got soaked. Umbrella sort of useless. Would highly recommend this tour, just watch the weather, forecast said only 1 mm of rain forecast, they were wrong.
Book it.

5.00First, my original excursion was canceled due to not enough people. But boy did they deliver on a replacement. Comfortable drive. Small intimate group. Knowledgeable guide. They were so nice and friendly. The boat ride was smooth and gorgeous. Got closer to the caves that I expected. The town was great and the amphitheater was a religious experience. We got to cut the line which was great. The only negative is I wish I had more time in the town.
