Book local! You won’t regret it - I can’t even express enough how amazing Alberto was! Communication was great from the start. He responds very quickly to all messages and is very professional. Our group was on a cruise so timing was very important to us so he made sure we got to see everything and back right on time for our ship. We ended at an amazing cafe with yummy treats AND he’s also an amazing photographer. Book local and you won’t ever regret it!! If I could give him more than 5 stars I would! Thank you again Alberto for making our day amazing

Fantastic Excursion that will never be forgotten - Sicily was an absolute highlight for us - thanks to this wonderful excursion with Alberto. He was friendly, kind, and took us to the most beautiful places. Even included some treats along the way to make the whole experience so authentic. Thanks to Alberto’s tour, Taormina and Castelmola will always have a piece of my heart.

Picture perfect tour from Messina! - Alberto is an attentive guide that customizes the tour to your preferences. He droves us to all the best locations in Taoromina and Castelmora. We had lots of time for photos, shopping and dining. He provides the perfect balance of teaching you about what you’re seeing and giving you free time. We visited as a private excursion from the cruise ship. He drove around our family of five in a minivan. I would highly recommend booking this tour!
