Resplan
Gör dig redo för en oförglömlig upplevelse! Vår resa börjar i Messina, den antika "porten till Sicilien", där historia och modernitet, legender och traditioner, motståndskraft och skönhet blandas. Efter vårt möte, när ni promenerar längs den natursköna vägen som löper längs den skärformade hamnen, kan ni beundra statyn av Madonna della Lettera, Messinas beskyddare som välkomnar alla som anländer sjövägen. Härifrån börjar vi vår resa till två av våra territoriums juveler: Castelmola och Taormina.
Vårt första stopp blir den charmiga medeltida byn Castelmola, belägen på en kulle med utsikt över panoramat! Castelmola, som en gång var platsen för ett gammalt normandiskt slott, är idag känt för att vara värd för en av de mest unika barerna i världen: Bar Turrisi! Ett autentiskt sicilianskt landmärke känt för sina unika möbler. Här ska vi pausa för att utforska den kulturella betydelsen av de ikoniska fallosformer som används som bardekorationer. Långt ifrån att vara vulgära, är de en livlig hyllning till antik grekisk kultur, som symboliserar själva essensen av frihet, fertilitet och liv. Detta är den perfekta platsen att njuta av ett glas av det berömda mandelvinet tillsammans med utsökt siciliansk cannoli.
Vår resa fortsätter med nedstigningen mot den berömda "Medelhavets pärla": Taormina. Inträde genom den historiska valvet Porta Catania. Du kommer att fördjupa dig i stadens rika förflutna, utforska den spektakulära grekisk-romerska amfiteatern (biljettpriset ingår ej i turen), ett mästerverk av forntida ingenjörskonst med hisnande utsikt över Etna och havet, och sedan bege dig till den fantastiska och magiska Lady Florece Trevelyan Public Garden. Efteråt, när du promenerar längs Corso Umberto, den livliga huvudgatan och de antika decumanusbyggnaderna, kommer du att vara omgiven av eleganta butiker, livliga kaféer, pittoreska gränder och historiska byggnader som bevarar stadens sanna essens. Slutligen kör vi till en strategisk och unik utsiktspunkt för att beundra och fotografera den hisnande utsikten över den ikoniska Isola Bella, vilket lämnar dig med ett outplånligt och oförglömligt minne av vårt vackra land.
Efter vårt besök i Taormina återvänder vi till Messina, där du, om tid och energi tillåter, kan förundras över stadens historiska centrum och i synnerhet Duomos klocktorn, som inrymmer ett av de största och mest komplexa mekaniska och astronomiska klockorna i Europa. I slutet av dagen tar vi dig tillbaka till startpunkten, och hoppas att du har haft en spännande dag med oss.

This was our second visit to Sicily, and there was never a question about who we wanted to spend the day with. We specifically requested Alessandro because our first experience with him was so unforgettable. We didn’t want to see Sicily with anyone else. What began as a guide-client relationship has truly become a friendship. Alessandro welcomed our family back with such warmth that it felt like we were reuniting with family rather than meeting a tour guide. His kindness, generosity, and genuine care for every member of our family are simply extraordinary. His knowledge of Sicily is incredible, but what makes him so special is his heart. He doesn’t just show you the sights—he shares the soul of Sicily. Every stop has a story, every recommendation is thoughtful, and every moment is tailored to create memories that will last a lifetime. Marissa was equally wonderful and made our day even more special. Together they are an exceptional team, ensuring every detail is seamless while making you feel completely relaxed and cared for. After traveling extensively around the world, I can honestly say Alessandro is one of the finest guides we have ever had. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, passionate, knowledgeable, and truly invested in making your day unforgettable, look no further. Thank you, Alessandro and Marissa, for another incredible day. Thank you for treating us like family, for sharing your beautiful island with such pride, and for creating memories we will treasure forever. We didn’t just leave Sicily with beautiful photographs—we left with lifelong friends. We cannot wait to return for a third visit, and when we do, there is only one person we will call. With heartfelt gratitude, The Hess Family ★★★★★
We had a wonderful time going to Taormina with Alessandro, the ride was perfect and he showed us the best places in Messina as well even a traditional Lemonade spot. Would highly recommend!!
We had a perfect day! We docked in the port of Messina and spent the day with Alessandro and Marisa. They could not have been more accommodating. They explained everything and had so much patience with us. It felt like we were hanging out with friends and family. This has been the highlight of our trip. If you get the opportunity to spend the day with Booking Sicily Tours it will exceed your expectations.
We visited Sicily with the excursion to Taormina and Castelmola offered by Booking Sicily Tour, and we had an excellent day. A big thank you to our French guide, Pari, who was very friendly, professional, and passionate. Her explanations were clear and interesting, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Thanks also to our driver Rosario, for his careful driving and his warm welcome. The organization was perfect and the landscapes of Taormina and Castelmola are magnificent. We recommend this excursion without hesitation to anyone who wishes to discover these superb Sicilian villages. Thanks again to the whole team for this very beautiful experience!
We had the absolute best time in Sicily thanks to Alessandro, Marisa and Massimo! Marisa and Massimo took us to Taormina, Castelmola, and a last minute beach stop to swim. As we drove we learned wonderful things about our surroundings and the history of each stop. We enjoyed sampling the special food and drink of Castelmola and Taormina--each recommendation and offering by Marisa was amazing and delicious! Marisa took us on a walking tour through Castelmola and Taormina and it felt like a special time of learning from an old friend. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with them both! And as a special bonus, Marisa sent me pictures afterward that were the best pictures of my husband and me from our entire trip! She is a gifted photographer too! You will not regret spending the day with Marisa and Massimo!
We just had a lovely day with Alessandro in Sicily today. He collected us from our cruise ship in Messina and took us to Taormina. Showing us sights along the way. He was waiting for us well before we docked. He kept in contact with us when we had free time so we never had to worry about a thing. He was professional and really knows his way around Sicily. I would not hesitate to recommend him and we will certainly call on him again if we are in Sicily. Thank you Alessandro!!
Thank you to Alessandro, Marissa and Massimo for an amazing tour of Sicily! They made our Sicily experience extra special! They were very knowledgeable and prompt! They were very flexible with the itenirary! I highly recommend Booking Sicily Tours!
Marisa from Booking Sicily Yours was absolutely amazing. The pick up from our cruise ship was seamless. Right there at the end of the pier. Communication was also excellent. We got on a very spacious air conditioned van. Marisa brought us to Castelmola as our first stop with views of the smoking Mountain Etna. So cool. We went to a very “unique” bar where we tasted cannolis and “shots.” The views were amazing but be prepared to walk up hills and steps to get there. We then headed to Taormina which had amazing shopping and even better restaurants. We had plenty of time there. Marisa gave us a lot of information, made sure we were all comfortable, always made sure she did what the group wanted and even gave us a little keepsake at the end of the trip. We were back to the ship in plenty of time. What a great day in Sicily. We would recommend this trip to anyone (as long as you are good with a lot of walking).
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.
