Itinerário
Espetacularmente empoleirada na encosta de uma montanha, Taormina é um dos destinos de verão mais populares da Sicília, uma cidade turística chique popular entre os turistas de férias e aqueles que querem provar o dolce vita siciliano. Fundada no século IV aC, Taormina desfrutou de grande prosperidade sob o governo grego Gelon II e mais tarde sob os romanos, mas caiu na obscuridade silenciosa após ser conquistada pelos normandos em 1087. Sua reencarnação como destino turístico data do século XVIII, quando os europeus do norte descobriram isso no Grand Tour. Entre seus fãs estava DH Lawrence, que viveu aqui entre 1920 e 1923.
O Monte Etna é o vulcão mais alto da Europa e um dos mais ativos do mundo. Seu tamanho impressionante (com mais de 3327 metros de altura e um diâmetro basal médio de 40 km) tem vista para toda a região. Suas erupções espetaculares e seus fluxos de lava ardentes sempre despertaram o interesse dos cientistas e a curiosidade de visitantes de todo o mundo. Desde 2013, o Monte Etna está na Lista do Patrimônio Mundial da Unesco por suas peculiaridades geológicas de relevância planetária.
O teatro antigo (o teatro greco, ou "teatro grego") é construído na maior parte do tijolo e, portanto, provavelmente é da data romana, embora o plano e o arranjo estejam de acordo com os teatros gregos, e não romanos; de onde se supõe que a estrutura atual foi reconstruída sobre as fundações de um teatro mais antigo do período grego. Com um diâmetro de 120 metros (390 pés) (após uma expansão no século 2), este teatro é o segundo maior do gênero na Sicília (depois do de Siracusa); é frequentemente usado para performances operáticas e teatrais e para shows. A maior parte dos assentos originais desapareceu, mas a parede que circunda toda a cavea é preservada, e o proscênio com a parede traseira da cena e seus anexos, dos quais restam apenas vestígios na maioria dos teatros antigos, aqui são preservados integridade e contribuem muito para o efeito pitoresco, bem como para o interesse, da ruína. Dos fragmentos de decorações arquitetônicas ainda existentes, aprendemos que era da ordem dos Coríntios e ricamente ornamentada. Algumas partes de um templo também são visíveis, convertidas na igreja de San Pancrazio, mas o edifício é de tamanho pequeno.

Lucca was the BEST tour guide ever!!! Really loved his job and it shows! Took us to a great lunch place off the beaten path! Highly recommend!
Thanks so much for the awesome review! We couldn't agree more, Luca really does love what he does, and that energy is totally contagious. We're so glad he was able to take you to a great lunch spot off the beaten path; finding those hidden gems is what we live for! We'll be sure to pass your high recommendation and kind words along to him. Thanks for exploring with us, and we hope to see you again soon!
Last week, we had a fantastic tour with Lucca from the cruise port in Messina. Lucca was waiting for us in the port in a comfortable Mercedes car. He easily accommodated my husband's needs as a person with limited mobility who uses a walker/rollator. At my request, he change our tour to take us to a winery on Mt. Etna since my husband would not be able to walk around on the mountain and see things. He also got us to Taormina before the crowds so we could see the beautiful city without so many people. It was the perfect combination of talking/explaining the history of the island, and leaving us alone. He also took us to some amazing viewpoints that you wouldn't get to see on a larger tour. It was really a fantastic day and made us both want to return to Sicily again so we could spend more time and really enjoy this beautiful place.

I was the organizer of our 8 person group, and having used "Rome In Limo" in the past, I had no doubt that we were in store for another fabulous tour. Our Tour Guide Luca, picked us up at the port right on time as expected. He was extremely knowledgeable and polite, and he was very accommodating to everyones needs. He took us to more of the small surrounding towns than i had expected, and in each one walked us through the history and highlights of each. He made sure that were all safe and comfortable during the entire tour. I feel that his outgoing personality is certainly reflective of the "Quality" tour guides that Rome In Limo employs for all of their tours. Having been on many other cruise tours over the years, I truly feel that Rome In Limo is the "Cadillac" of the tour providers. A rating of AAA+++ is not enough for this tour guide and his company. Well done Luca!

Our driver picked us up from the Port and showed us around Taormina! Absolutely Gorgeous! He knew all the right spots to stop and/or pick us up which we conveniently located and didn't waste time. Our stop at the Winery was awesome. We had a great view looking out to the mountains, the wine and charcuterie plates were pleasing to the eye and the palate. Roberto helped us make the most of our time at our stop in Messina.
