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!
The Taormina and Castelmola tour will be an unforgettable and multi-sensory experience.

This was a wonderful escursion with Gabrella. She was super friendly, a great historian, who was totally prepared. We would recomend this tour off ships as they were right on time, well prepared and got us back right on time. It was a winner

This was one of the longest of our tours during our cruise between Athens and Barcelona. Giulia was an absolutely wonderful tour guide. So friendly and funny. Her knowledge was beyond incredible. A guide can make or break a bus tour so we were so grateful to have Giulia share our day. As I mentioned this was a long tour at just over 7 hours but it didn't feel like it. We appreciated that there was ample time provided to enjoy shopping or eating so it doesn't dnt feel rushed. A big thanks to the bus driver for navigating those long winding roads up and down the mountain - you deserve a medal! We love you Sicily ❣️

Very well run tour. Claudia was a great guide. Very pleasant. Beautiful drive up to Castlmora and Taormina. We had 2 hours in Taormina which was just enough to get something to eat and do a little shopping. Great tour!

Sicily-Taormina & Castlemola Tour We experienced a fabulous day with Gabriella as our tour guide from-“Discover Messina Sicily“. Our tour was “Taormina & Castelmola Tour from Messina” and was exactly as stated in the tour description. The meeting place was convenient and very easy to find just outside cruise terminal area. Our bus was parked and waiting for our group of about 25. Gabriella was organized, friendly, knowledgeable and relaxed. We were always informed of the schedule and her directions were very clear. Overall it was an amazing experience!
