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.

5.00Gabriella was a wonderful tour guide. She was professional, knowledgeable, funny and organized. The tour cost $224 for 2 people. It was approximately 6 hours long and combined the guided tour and free time. The ‘radios’ we used to hear the tour guide were excellent. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I would recommend it.
Wonderful tour!

5.00Had a wonderful experience on this tour! Wonderful knowledgeable tour guides and very skilled driver who made the steep winding roads feel easy. It was a great tour with loads of facts about the cities and enough time in between for shopping and exploring. I highly recommend this company and this tour!

3.00I Was very disappointed because the trip didn't include going to the ancient ruins that was pictured in the advertisement. I thought we were going to the old amphitheater. Our guide was very good, very nice. She gave of herself. She went above and beyond her job.
