Amazing Tour! You can’t make as this perfect price tour. - This was our second time to Messina but this time we decided to book a private tour. We had Sonia as our guide and she was a wealth of knowledge! We visited Taoromina, Castlemola and Messina. Sonia and our driver took us to all the special places and wonderful photo ops. It was the most special day! We highly recommend this tour!

One day of Awesome beauty - Our tour guide was the best. Most people know of Taormina, but that just the beginning. We first stopped at Isola Bella, a beautiful, picturesque stop to see the views of towns and sea. He pointed out Mt. Aetna, which is still active and spewing out lava (a very slow rate) Town not worried. After that we headed off to Taormina, what a charming city on mountain. Tons of restaurants and shops, never mind the beautiful beauty of the mountain. Love all the little towns in Italy. Our next stop was Castelmola (Castle rock). This city is on top of the mountain above Taormina. From here you can see the views of the towns below and the sea. There is a small church built in the mountains. This town was built around the castle on top of the rock. City was built around castle. There is a trail if you like to walk from Taormina to Castelmolo. This town reminds me of more of a medieval look. Finally, we drove down to the sea in Giardini Naxos. After all the sightseeing time to relax at the beach. Great tour and guide in explaining each town. Highly recommend

Sicily is a place to return - Sicily is beautiful and very different. Definitely a place to return. Though would not advise to stay in Giardini Naxos, the only benefit being sandy beaches.
