Messina to Taormina Low Cost Transfer

The drive to Taormina was enjoyable and stress free. They were very timely too. Would recommend to anyone to use this transportation.

Great excursion while in port in Messina. Comfortable ride and plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful village.

Wasn't the 15 max passenger vehicle we were expecting. Prob about 25, double decker coach, aircon upstairs wasn't working for us, downstairs great on way back. Served a purpose to get return journey to Taormina. Lovely place to spend a few hours.

It’s an old hop-on hop-off bus, so there’s really no need to buy tickets ahead of time. They sell them right when you get off the boat, and it actually seemed like they were probably cheaper there. We got on the bus and then ended up sitting there for a while. Eventually, they had us get off and onto a separate bus so they could fill the first bus with people who had bought tickets last minute. It’s definitely a good option if you’re short on time and want to see Taormina, but I personally wouldn’t recommend booking it ahead of time. I’d just wait until you get off the boat and buy the tickets there!

Beautiful drive to Taormina and town was wonderful BUT the air conditioning on bus did not work so it was miserable driving back in heat of day.

This is just transportation to Taormina. The bus left on time and the driver navigated the route safely. My only negative is that the bus is a double decker bus without sufficient AC. We arrived in port at 7am and it would have been nice to have a longer day in Taormina vs only 10am departure option and needing to be back to the bus by 2:30. We basically had time to walk through and have lunch. I think taking the train may have been a better option for us.

Do not waste your money- I know, I know- you get what you pay for but this was a waste! Half the seats in the bus were broken. They didn’t get out of the recline position so whoever was sitting in front of you was basically in your lap. When we arrived the driver didn’t give any instructions other than hold up a scrap of paper written in pencil the time we needed to be back at that location. It was very hard to see and if you weren’t in the front of the bus and just following the person in front of you out it could have been easy to miss. It was very rushed- a little less than 2 hours there. We rushed back to the meeting spot and then the driver was 20 min late picking us back up. There are plenty of taxis right out of the cruise terminal I would grab one of those and then you can stay as long as you want.

No thrills. Good value. The bus was on time in n out. Bus was clean, may be a little old. There were agents assisting all the time. I would not enjoy the driving in Taormina. The driver did a good job in navigating the serpentine mountain roads.

False advertising as maximum 15 people in air condition coach minivan refused a part refund. Didn’t reply to my complaint. This is NOT a coach or small group transfer. It’s an old very uncomfortable bumpy city sightseeing g bus with stickers over windows kept stalling struggled to get uphill which is most of the way with 40+ people broken seats no seatbelts miserable host who didn’t even hold a sign to say the company name. Didn’t speak at all unapproachable Difficult to find coming from a cruise ship. Take the public bus save yourself a lot of money.

The bus-driver was easy to locate- just a 3-4 minute walk from the cruise ship. We literally saved closer to 200.00 by taking this bus vs a taxi ride
