Unexpected beautiful town and the best driver/guide

The Drive to Taormina was just beautiful with our Driver Phillipo. The vehicle was like riding on air and he explained all about the area of Sicily and the people. He was very fun to talk to and he laughed with us a lot. The town Taormina is like you have stepped into a movie in Italy. So many cute shops and the view from there is unbelievable. We stopped at a restaurant called Granduca. It had a beautiful view and the food was wonderful. It took a little bit to have the maître D warm-up to us but we ended up loving him and the restaurant. Don’t miss taking this tour.

Amazing day in Taormina

What an amazing day in Taormina! The views, the history, and all the little details we would have missed on our own were brought to life. Our guide Sonia was friendly, funny, and made the whole group feel like family. Highly recommend this tour!”

Amazing

If you’re visiting Taormina, do yourself a favor and book this tour. It felt like walking with a friend who knows the history and the secret spots. We had time for photos, a gelato and plenty of laughs

Expert host and great time

We could not have asked for a more pleasant and hospitable guide. Filippo was accommodating and well informed. He was the consummate professional. From the moment he picked us up from our cruise terminal it was a wonderful experience. Traveling with a 14 yo and 10 yo is always unpredictable, but Filippo made us all feel comfortable and both of my kids enjoyed the time we spent. He took us to beautiful places to take great photos and provided some interesting facts on areas that we drove through and were able to see. He allowed us all the free time for shopping, drinks and lunch that we desired. We never felt rushed and felt very safe and comfortable with him. On our next visit, we will be sure to contact him.

Cheers from Davit, Armenia

Excellent service by a true professional! Fillippo was very well-organized and punctual. He drove us from Messina to Taormina, waited patiently, and brought us back safely. A very pleasant conversationalist, professional, and a true Italian who clearly loves his work and his country. Highly recommended!

What you dream comes true when you rely on a serious, punctual and extremely nice person

The booking was simple, streamlined, even for further clarification, always available and fast in response. After being welcomed at the port of Messina, with a great nice vehicle (Mercedes of the latest generation-elegant and maximum cleanliness) made us live an unforgettable day. On the way to the Tour of Taormina, he told us so much about the territory and what we could see and discover directly with our own eyes. All places of extreme beauty, especially Isola Bella, the boat ride and the exquisite granita with ‘brioscia’. A competent, reliable and above all kind person. I saved the number in my address book. Advice to all
