5.00Great tour guide and captain! The boat ride and swim was beautiful and then the time spent in the town was great for shopping! A great way to see Taormina if you only have one day - tour covered everything!

5.00The absolute best way to experience this stunning landscape is from the water. A pleasant cruise, a bit of prosecco and topped off with a refreshing dip in the clear water. Our guides could not have been better. Friendly and very knowledgeable. We were in good hands both on the boat and in the charming town of Taormina. Claudia, Peppe and Vincenzo made us feel like family. Highly recommend this tour.
A perfect day in Sicily!

5.00This was my favorite tour. Sara our guide was the best. She was knowledgeable, friendly and fun. We were able to see so much. Being on the boat was amazing. We swam and saw breath taking views. We also had time to shop and eat ay a wonderful restaurant over looking the ocean. It was perfect!
Disappointing

3.00Loved our guide and the tour to Taormina BUT the boat ride could've been a lot nicer if the boat captain wanted to put some effort into the boat tour! Weather conditions were perfect even our tour guide mentioned how it's going to be great due to low winds and how the waters not choppy! So going into the blue grotto and other caves should've been doable....we drove by and that was it! In addition instead of maneuvering the boat to tie down by Isola Bella the island that were supposed to visit he oped to just drop anchor in open water by the train station.....the water had tons of debris that had washed up.....so swimming was no good. Meanwhile lots of opportunity to anchor near the island so we could swim to it and explore for a minute but he was unwilling to do that. Not worth the money!
