Description

The day will conquer you with a private tour through Savoca, Taormina, Castelmola, and Isola Bella—a journey through breathtaking Mediterranean landscapes and timeless Sicilian charm. This isn’t your typical rushed, touristy group tour…it’s a private, fully customizable experience, led by true Sicilian passion and heartfelt stories. Travel aboard a brand-new Mercedes minivan, with an English-speaking Sicilian driver who knows every corner’s story. Stroll ancient alleys of Savoca and taste authentic Sicilian delights that leave crumbs (muddiche). As we say: Cu mancia fa muddichi, ma cu camina si godi u viaggiu! (“He who eats makes crumbs, but he who walks enjoys the journey.”) Admire panoramic views from Castelmola, soak up Taormina’s vibrant atmosphere, and relax by crystal-clear waters of Isola Bella. This tour is perfectly timed for cruise passengers, giving you freedom to customize your day—change the schedule, add stops, and organize your day at your own pace. With love from Sicily

Such an amazing day!

Cannot thank Sergio and Nicolo enough for the wonderful private tour we took. We needed two vehicles for our family of 10, including 2 children and a baby. Nothing was too much trouble. There were so many operators to choose from, but we hit the jackpot! What a magical day we had and made great memories. Couldn't recommend them enough!

No other way to see Sicily

What a spectacular day we had with Sergio. His knowledge, passion for his homeland, and his genuine desire to make sure we had a great day was perfection. We saw parts of Sicily most dont get to experience. Every detail was cared for. You'll be glad you had him as your guide.

Amazing day with Sergio

Sergio was THE BEST guide we could have ever asked for. He was informative, knowledgeable, fun and caring. Sergio showed us the best of Sicily, told us the best spots to eat and visit. Words can not describe how amazing he was. Thank you so much, Sergio for making our day a magical one.
