Itinéraire
Préparez-vous à vivre une expérience inoubliable ! Notre circuit débutera à Messine, l'ancienne « porte de la Sicile », où histoire et modernité, légendes et traditions, résilience et beauté se mêlent harmonieusement. Après notre rencontre, en empruntant la route panoramique qui longe le port en forme de faucille, vous pourrez admirer la statue de la Madonna della Lettera, la protectrice de Messine qui accueille tous ceux qui arrivent par la mer. De là débutera notre excursion vers deux joyaux de notre territoire : Castelmola et Taormina.
Notre premier arrêt sera le charmant village médiéval de Castelmola, perché sur une colline dominant le panorama ! Castelmola, qui abritait autrefois un ancien château normand, est aujourd'hui connue pour accueillir l'un des bars les plus uniques au monde : le Bar Turrisi ! Un monument sicilien authentique, réputé pour son mobilier unique. Nous nous arrêterons ici pour explorer la signification culturelle des formes phalliques emblématiques utilisées comme décorations de bars. Loin d'être vulgaires, elles constituent un vibrant hommage à la culture grecque antique, symbolisant l'essence même de la liberté, de la fertilité et de la vie. C'est l'endroit idéal pour déguster un verre du célèbre vin d'amandes accompagné de délicieux cannoli siciliens.
Notre voyage se poursuivra par la descente vers la célèbre « perle de la Méditerranée » : Taormina. Entrée par l'arche historique de Porta Catania. Vous vous immergerez dans le riche passé de la ville, en explorant le spectaculaire amphithéâtre gréco-romain (prix du billet non inclus dans la visite), un chef-d'œuvre d'ingénierie antique offrant une vue imprenable sur l'Etna et la mer, puis vous vous dirigerez vers le splendide et magique jardin public Lady Florece Trevelyan. Ensuite, en flânant le long du Corso Umberto, la rue principale animée et l'ancien decumanus, vous serez entouré de boutiques élégantes, de cafés animés, de ruelles pittoresques et de bâtiments historiques qui préservent la véritable essence de la ville. Enfin, nous nous rendrons en voiture à un point de vue stratégique et unique pour admirer et photographier la vue à couper le souffle de l'emblématique Isola Bella, vous laissant un souvenir indélébile et inoubliable de notre magnifique pays.
Après notre visite de Taormina, nous retournerons à Messine où, si le temps et l'énergie le permettent, vous pourrez admirer le centre historique de la ville et, en particulier, le clocher du Duomo, qui abrite l'une des horloges mécaniques et astronomiques les plus grandes et les plus complexes d'Europe. En fin de journée, nous vous ramènerons à votre point de départ, en espérant que vous ayez passé une journée passionnante en notre compagnie.

Can not recommend Alessandro enough! He was a 10 out of 10! Was so knowledgeable and accommodating. Had great recommendations and treated our entire group like family. Alessandro was the best guide of our trip and will book again next time we are in Messina ,
We booked our trip after seeing great reviews for Alessandro. They were not wrong ..from start to finish he and Marisa were excellent. My mother needs a wheelchair to get around and they insisted on pushing her and took their time with her. Marisa was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of facts and history but more than that she was so lovely and it was so easy to get on with her. I cannot say enough good things about them both and would thoroughly recommend anyone to book with them.
Absolutely one of the best experiences ever. They took the time to know everything we wanted to do and see, including shopping, sites, pictures, food, wine recommendations were out of this world.this made it so much more efficient and personalized. Pari, is so refreshing, informative, and truly goes the extra mile aiming to please and make this the best experience. Fulvio was an excellent driver each stop was on time, precise, and easily transitioned. Highly recommend this team. Alessandro booked this tour for us months ago and has assisted us with other drivers at different ports.. this is the best resource, wealth of information and exciting team we have had the pleasure of working with. Thank you all for such an amazing, fun and truly entertaining experience.
We had a great time on this tour. Marisa and Alessandro were the best tour guides through my travel experience. Marisa gave lots of information on places we visited. They went out of their way to show us the beauty of Messina. I will definitely look her up if i visit Sicily again.
Marisa from Booking Sicily Yours was absolutely amazing. The pick up was so easy. Right after we exited the ship. We got on a very spacious air conditioned bus. Marisa brought us to Castelmola first with views of Mount Edna. So cool. We went to a really cool bar and saw amazing views. Then headed to Taormina which had amazing shopping and even better restaurants! We had plenty of time on our own which was great. Marisa gave us lots of information, made sure we were all comfortable, always made sure we were doing what we wanted and even gave us a cute little momento when our trip was done. What a great day in Sicily. We would truly recommend this tour to anyone.
Alessandro was the best tour guide for Sicily !! He went out of his way to take care of us. This trip was worth every penny! Book your tour today, you will not regret it.
We had an absolutely wonderful day with Booking Sicily Tours! We docked at the port of Catania, and from start to finish, the experience was fantastic. Our private van was very comfortable, and Alessandro and Marisa set a perfect, accommodating pace for our multigenerational family that included grandparents, parents, and kids. Marisa went above and beyond, staying with us all day to expertly guide us through the busy streets and providing a perfect restaurant recommendation. They were so good with our kids and kept them engaged the entire time. If you want a stress-free day, support this amazing local business!
We did the tour today from Messina port. Our driver Fulvio and guide Paris were already there waiting for us when we got off the ship this morning. Tour began right away with brifing the places we are located, and where we are going. They even offered us cold spring water during the tour. Paris is professional, had great services. Fulvio is a great and polite driver . Tour was well planned and timing is perfect! I definitely recommend this private tour!
Alessandro was easy to book and communicate with prior to the tour. Super friendly and thoughtful. His cousin Marisa was our guide and she was so much fun, easy to talk to, and gave us lots of history and information about Taormina and Castelmola. Charming towns you do not want to miss while in Sicily.
Tour guide was amazing and accommodating for our very large group. She tailored the tour to fit our needs and was very knowledgeable. Ride was beautiful.
