The tour begins with a pick-up near the cruise port (exact location arranged before departure) and returns to the same location. A climate-controlled vehicle will take you to the small, cliff-top town of Taormina to visit the Greek theater, Palazzo Corvaja, and the Cathedral. Take in the amazing view of Mount Etna and Giardini Naxos bay, and spend two hours exploring the town by yourself, before meeting at an established time and place for the drive back to Messina. Next, embark on a city tour of Messina. See panoramic views of the Messina strait, the cathedral and the clock tower and at the end of the day, you will be transferred back to your port on time for the cruise-ship departure.

Excellent insight into the history of Croatia, Split and Guide had a fantastic knowledge , Trogir was a nice spot to visit and Diocletians Palace was excellent to see around.
Our guide Chris was remarkable! His knowledge was overwhelming. We stopped in two towns, views and scenery were stunning
We had a great time, easy to find driver and transportation was comfortable. Our driver was very infoemative on ride. We had about 2.5 hours to explore on own once we were dropped off. We went early which was good if you want a photo with two domes. Personally there are many great photo places I wouldn’t wait in line longer than 30. We also had time to go to the ruins and have a lovely lunch. Drop off is in Fira and we had more time to explore and shop.
Shopping was great and traveling to get there was fantastic lot of walking so many restaurants to eat and very colorful shops
Although not a long tour it gave the essence of the island. Our driver was knowledgeable and helpful. He even spotted us 2euro to use the lift back to the port.
My husband and I both really like Viator, we’ve never been disappointed and this was no exception. Both Sam, our guide and our driver were excellent. Sam was very knowledgeable and friendly and I believe that the tour we took was one of the best we’ve ever had.
Michael did a great job explaining about what life is like in Sicily while we were driving to Taormina. Told us about a cathedral and a park we should visit and we did and were very happy. On the way back, he showed us a beautiful vista where the ferrys go back-and-forth between the mainland and Sicily. And also told us where to get the best cannolis in Sicily. Would definitely recommend
Our guide Mike was very knowledgeable about the area and made the trip very enjoyable. Would recommend a bigger van as we sat three to a seat. No elbow room. Overall would recommend.
Great tour and guide. Guide very knowledgeable and passionate about the area and history which he shared with us
Michele was a capable driver, entertaining host and we really enjoyed our drive to and from Messina. He stopped for photos of Isola Bella and gave us plenty of time in Taormina with easy meeting point. Very grateful to Michele!
