5.00We had a wonderful time with Chiara on our tour. She is very knowledgeable and funny too. My family loves her. You will hear many more informative topics here than from another type of tour. Plenty of stops to take photos and guides “skip the line” to get tickets. A win by itself You will not be disappointed!

5.00Excellent guide. If you're looking to find a good tour guide to show you the town look no further as this is the one. We've done many and this one was very good.

5.00We have been on many private tours and Jerry may have provided the most enjoyable we have ever experienced. His historical knowledge was only exceeded by his passion and kind spirit. We not only got a great guide but a philosopher as well. It is ones good fortune to cross paths with such an individual.
Amazing private tour of Taormina!

5.00We had an incredible tour of Taormina. Loved the city, learned so much, and had a lovey day! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and the country of Sicily (he’s Sicilian). He shared a perfect amount of history and historical context interspersed with warm and wonderful insights into the people and culture of the place. Everywhere we went people knew Rosario. We met local shop and restaurant owners and the restaurants he recommended were amazing and we were treated like special guests. We spent the morning touring with him and then had the afternoon and evening to explore and enjoy the historical district of Taormina which was a perfect day. I would highly recommend this tour and our guide Rosario.

5.00Chiara was amazing! She took the time to show and tell us all of the great places in Taormina! She was funny, knowledgeable and kind to us. I never knew a tour could be so personal. She made us feel like we had backstage passes!
Must do!

5.00We did a 2 hour walking tour with Chiara and it was wonderful. We had been in sicily 8 days at that point but we learned so much about both sicily and Taormina from her. The city is much more than expensive shopping and good food. She also took us the the Roman ruins and we walked right in passed an extremely long line. It was a wonderful tour and I highly recommend.
Taormina through Ari's eyes.

5.00Unbelievable experience with Rosario, who was filling in for Chiara. A walking encyclopedia of seemingly every subject. A native of next-door Naxos with a sincere passion and excitement about what he is showing you. I cannot imagine a better guide for this tour, or any tour for that matter. Thanks Rosario!!
