The excellent communication via WhatsApp is commendable. Updates and detailed instructions ie. meeting time, location and staff name was very helpful. I will recommend Viator to family and friends. Sara, our tour guide was excellent. She is highly knowledgeable and speaks fluent English which is important. Timely meeting place and coordination was excellent.

GABRIELLA was awesome. She was patient with latecomers and stragglers, gave us great insight and information. Really enjoyed the locations and the experience. Highly recommend. Messina was a stop on our cruise and I am glad I chose this tour vs one of the cruise excursions.

Elisa did a great job on this wonderful tour. The bus was large and very nice with good air conditioning and usb plugs. There was a 1 hour drive to Castelmola that was fully narrated and she gave us almond cookies to try and cartons of water. When we got there we had to go up about 50 steps to reach the small town. We had 45 minutes to explore on our own and got a free sample of almond wine. After that it was a short drive to Tiormina and we had a 45 minute guided tour through the town and then about 2 hours on our own to get lunch and explore. The town is very cute and we walked down to the garden. After that we drove back. Great tour!

This was a beautiful excursion with bus service from the cruise port. We had an expert driver who navigated the winding turns leading to Castelmola and a wonderful guide Elisa who gave us the highlights of everything we were seeing. We had plenty of free time in both Catelmola and Taormina to discover the local shops, restaurants and sights. A fabulous day!
