1.00Terrible service and very unprofessional. We originally reserved the 7:30 tour, but were told they didn’t have enough people and asked us to switch to 8:30. We agreed, even though it cut into the limited time we had for our cruise excursion. When we arrived this morning, they suddenly informed us that the driver could not come and asked us to cancel the trip altogether. This last-minute cancellation completely wasted our time and left us scrambling to find another option. The company is disorganized, unreliable, and misleading. To make matters worse, the staff at the port suggested we just take a cheaper Taormina tour instead. Do not book with them..
