This tour was very fun—and the highlight (besides the Taormina theater!) was Cecilia, our wonderful guide. She was funny, patient, energetic, and friendly, and we will remember spending a day with her for a long time.

We took a private seven hour tour, and it was absolutely a highlight of our trip! Our guides were Claudia and Pepe (Giuseppe), and they were fantastic. Our boat captain, Antonio, was excellent, weaving us thru caves and serving us fresh fruit and superior prosecco. We saw far more than we had hoped for, and the boat was very comfortable with shade available.
After the ride, we wound our way up the incredible hills surrounding Giardini Naxos, and made the short trip to Taormina. Our van was new, spotless, and comfortable. On their recommendation, we had a fabulous lunch at Il Ciclopes (Cyclops) restaurant. After that we wandered through town for an hour or so, then back to Messina. Both Claudia and Pepe were very fluent in english, and they gave us so much history and understanding of the area. They were both very attentive,
making sure we had everything we needed. Both Claudia and Pepe are proud Sicilians, and I can see why. It was a gorgeous trip from start to finish, and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Taormina was a great deal. We enjoyed the boat tour and the plunge in the cold Mediterranean water. Beautiful coast and a great tour guide. Make sure and take advantage of this great deal.

What an AMAZING tour!! We went on the boat tour with Roberto and our captain. Roberto was so fun and personable. It only is he an excellent guide, he is easy to talk with. We ended up being the only couple on our semi private tour and we were thrilled. It was everything I could ask for AND Roberto actually went out of his way to help us navigate Italian Etiquette, eat good food and buy those delicious cookies! Mariarita was the tour guide outside of the boat ride and she was so fun and pleasant, but we had the boat to ourselves with Roberto and our captain and it was a 10 star experience!!

The tour guide Sofia and Sara picked us up at our hotel which was very convenient. There were only four of us so it was almost private. We took a two hour boat ride along the coast and to Isola Bella which was so beautiful. Sofia was very knowledgeable and nice. On the land tour of Taormina, Sofia went out of her way to walk through the Greek Theatre. They made several water and bathroom stops and gave us free time for lunch. Highly recommend.

Cecilia was an excellent tour guide with a lot of interesting facts and history about the areas we visited. She had a good sense of humor and was quite helpful when we had questions.

Our group was separated into 2 boats. We were 10 people. Giuliana was an excellent guide. Wish she had a microphone. With boat engine it was hard to hear her sometimes. She gave a lot of information
during the cruise and it was very enjoyable
I would recommend this tour. You had the option to swim or snorkel in the bay. We also went to 2 caves. Very good!!

Excellent tour with Claudia & Antonio. Claudia was full of knowledge & super helpful. Antonio took us out to the caves & took us straight in. He was an excellent driver. He brought out champagne & fruit & had great music.

Andrea picked us up at the port on time and we immediately boarded the bus and on our way! We had free time Taromina to take pictures explore and try some street food and Cannoli’s great recommendations by Andrea.
From there we met the group and continue to our boat tour to Isola Bella. We had a beautiful boat ride seeing the island of Isola Bella up close! We were also able to see to Grottos. Being was made the water was still a little too cold to swim so instead we walked to a nearby beach to put our toes in the water. We had a beautiful day and highly recommend this tour. Thanks again, Andrea for the great memories.

Claudia and Andrea made this excursion the most memorable of our entire European vacation. We didn’t get to do the boat portion due to high winds and rains, but they quickly offered an alternative to a small mountain town and it was fantastic! They were so attentive to our having the best experience possible and went out of their way to assure it was just that, the best experience possible. Andrea was an excellent driver and Claudia so upbeat and knowledgeable. They both spoke great English. I would highly recommend the tour! If we are ever lucky enough to return to Sicily…we would book again and request these two guides.
