Great tour - Our group of 9, ages 9-69, really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Filipo, met us right at the port; it could not have been easier to find him! He was very personable with excellent English and a comfortable van. We enjoyed his information as we drove to Taormina and also enjoyed the free time to explore (and eat!) in Taormina on our own. And the cannoli! None of us were cannoli fans heading in to the tour but these were nothing like the ones we'd had back home-- so delicious! A wonderful way to explore the Messina area for the day.

Amazing tour! - This was one of the best tours of our vacation! Sonia was amazing! She told us all about the history and interesting information about everything we saw. Such a neat place to visit! I can't remember the driver's name but we felt very safe the whole time. Oh and the cannolis were amazing!!

Erika set the standard for tour guides - Erika set the standard for tour guides! She truly loves her town which was demonstrated in her knowledge & story telling. Sharing local customs, traditions brought Taormina & Messina closer to my group of 11. Everything went smoothly. We enjoyed Erika! Highly recommend.

Best Sicily Tour. - This tour was one of the highlights of our 12 day Celebrity cruise. Filippo and Erika picked us up at the port. We visited Messina, Castelmola and our very favorite Taormina. This was my daughter and daughter’s in laws first trip to Sicily and they have fell in love with the beauty of this place. Erika and Filippo went over and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful day. This is the second time I have used them when visiting Sicily. They are like visiting old friends.

Excellent service! Amazing experience - Just returned from a day spent in Taormina and Messina centre. We arrived at the port of Messina with the MSC ship, here Filippo welcomed us with an 8-seater van. First positive note: very spacious and very comfortable van (having 3 small children and as many strollers this was not a given). Filippo was very kind and very punctual. First we made a quick stop in Isola Bella, then we visited Taormina which, also thanks to Filippo's instructions, we found truly extraordinary. Afterwards we quickly visited Messina center. To end our day we enjoyed some good Sicilian arancini and truly superlative cannoli. If I could give more stars to this service I would... everything was truly perfect! Thank you!!

Scrumptious Cannoli with Personable Driver - The cannoli was scrumptious! Driver was personable and informative : ) He was quite accommodating and took some nice photos of our group of 8 ladies, ages 29 to 75!

The beauty of Taormina & Messina - This tour was wonderful thanks to Sonia, our tour guide and Massimilliano, our driver. They showed us the beauty of Isola Bella Island, let us roam Porta Catania di Taormina (quaint plazas with so many picturesque spots), recommended an authentic Italian restaurant for our lunch with yummy food, took us to see a view of our cruise ship in the Strait of Messina and to a cathedral, and ended with stuffing and eating yummy cannolis. Sonia was so friendly and knowledgeable. Taormina and Messina was beautiful! Highly recommend this excursion.

Bucket List Day in Taormina and Messina - Absolutely the best tour ever. Erika and Massimo met us at the port entrance (in the rain!) and gave us the most incredible day! They had a planned schedule, but I let Erika know that we would love for them to take us wherever they thought was best. That’s the way to go. They drove us up the mountains to Taormina — but along the way, Erika gave us the legends/stories behind everything we were seeing. The joy she had while sharing her hometown with us was contagious. Massimo was such a careful and safe driver (which is definitely important along the narrow mountain roads) — both made sure every minute of our tour was enjoyable and fun. Erika took us to her favorite spots and treated us like friends/family visiting. She recommended a restaurant for lunch that overlooked Mt Etna that served ‘true’ Italian specialties. Delish!!! We stopped to take pictures looking out over the mountain/sea. We spent time in Taormina’s old town. At each stop, Erika pointed out key points of interest we should experience. This was definitely a day that will bring a smile whenever I think about it. If you have the chance, this is the way to go if you come in on a cruise! Oh, and the cannoli was incredible!

Amazing day in Sicily! - Alessandra and Juan Carlo could not have been more accommodating. Very smooth ride and she is a wealth of information! It was a beautiful day with the best driver and guide. The cannolis to finish the day were the best we’ve ever had!

Seeing the Beauty of Sicily - Sicily is gorgeous!!!! And this tour lets you see and experience its beauty. We had Sonia as our tour guide and Massimilliano as our driver. They were fabulous! There are so many photo opportunities. The meal we had was one of my favorites, and that restaurant was recommended by the tour company. The clock tower was incredible! The tour ended with us not only eating a delicious cannoli, but we got to make our own as well. (That could be because there was only two of us.) I highly recommend this tour and the tour company! The communication was top notch!
