Awesome driver and full day tour of beautiful Sicily. Great value! - Daniello was the most amazing driver and guide. His knowledge and love for Sicily is clearly evident as he explained the history of these areas to us in easy to understand English. He even parked the car in a cool spot while we toured with our free time. Beautiful mix of different areas. Full day we'll spend! Take this tour! Wear comfortable shoes. Excellent way to spend the day and to learn more about beautiful Sicily. What a great value too! We also met new friends. Thanks Daniello!

Amazing trip - This’s an amazing trip, the driver Mirko it very calm and very good service person. The trip we visited good value, Taormina it elegant & beautiful. Castelmola smaller town lunch at Caffe S. Giorgio foods very delicious plus almond wine for dessert. Savoca is a small village love the vibes, the godfather movie films here ….. must go to the San Nicola Church, I took the Tuk Tuk car to the church so much fun. Highly recommended for this trip.

Taormina, Castemola and Savoca - Our driver was very knowledgeable, patient, and spoke fluent English. We recommend the blood orange salad at Bar Vitelli in Savoca.

Great experience visiting Savoca, Castelmola and Taormina. - The driver and guide, Davide, spoke fluently in two languages for the general enjoyment of two Americans who spoke English only, me a fluent Canadian with Italian heritage and an Italian visiting her spouse studying at the U of Catania. Davide gave good background about what were going to see, went out of his way to make everyone comfortable and drove with courage and caution through Catania morning and evening commuter traffic. Savoca was a little disappointing as the “Michael Corleone” wedding church was closed. Lunch in Castelmola was pre-ordered but was lovely. Very good pasta al la Norma and bruschetta two ways was enjoyed by everyone. Over all good value. Great service.

Breathtaking - The beauty of Taormina, Savoca and Castelmola was awe inspiring. Lunch was delicious and accommodated dietary issues. The guide was pleasant and pointed out the important sights and details of each city. The driver had excellent driving skills navigating the narrow roadways but he was overly friendly to older single women.
