TAORMINA and CASTELMOLA TOUR

The scenery, Castellon, Taormina, Isola Bella are stunning. Had a great day exploring the villages, the "special bar" and seeing Mnt Etna.

The operator went to the wrong port for our cruise ship. I had emailed them in advance the correct location. After calling Viator for assistance the driver and interpreter arrived about an hour after the promised time.

After a short time we discovered this was transport only to our destination. The Viator web site advertised it is a “Tour” but I would not call simple transport a tour. The driver and interpreter were good at what they did but from the website I expected more.

Good smooth driving by Giovanni. Very responsive.
Only very minor downside was the tour description said there would be water, but we didn't get any.

One thing you should know, is this is not a guided tour. However, it was still AMAZING! Guissipe {I hope I'm spelling that correctly} was fantastic and I really felt I was able to fully enjoy myself without feeling rushed at all. He took me to many key points, I enjoyed this very much!

Richard was our driver and he was caring, concerned about us, and directed us to places to see. He made the experience special.

It was not a tour at all but an expensive taxi service. We were dropped off at Castemola pointed in two directions; to the right is Castemola and to the left Taormina. Taormina was down below and we spent most of our time wandering around Castemola. No tour guide, no stories about Castemola nor Taormina. We finally were dropped off in Taormina and again spent time walking On my way our own, but no tour.

First off, I booked this tour December 30th at about 8:30pm via Viator fir Dec 31st tour. The operator emailed me right away to clarify things that made the tour go smoothly. When we arrived in Catania at 5:40 early in the morning, our driver Danilo was was waiting for us already. We had an early start, meaning our time was not wasted at all. When we reached in Taormina, I asked Danilo to check if we can add done of the Godfather places to check and he called his boss right away and was confirmed we can do it. I was happy and appreciated the flexibility. We were able to check the places that I wanted to go. Just a reminder, our driver is not a licensed tourist guide but he tells us where to go and drop us off and pick us up like “door to door”. I would suggest to google the best places to visit and tell the driver what you most like to visit and read all about it. You will appreciate more if you know the story behind that particular area. This tour works perfectly for us. Thank you Danilo for doing above and beyond of what you are doing.

Cheers!

Armando did a great job of getting us up and down the narrow streets and sharing life in Sicily as well as historic sites.

Taormina is a nice little town with a Roman amphitheater and plenty of tourist shops and cafes.
Castlemole had a nice view, but not really much else up there to do.
