Our driver couldn’t have been better. He was a true local that took time to introduce us to his favorite spots for granita and cannoli. Taormina may be the most beautiful town on earth. The town was clean and posh. Felt like shopping on the Sicilian Rodeo Dr, then Isola Bella beach was breathtaking. The beach was crowded and rocky so have water shoes and rent an umbrella to stay comfortably.
Thank you
We had a great time with Angelo. A very nice guy and good company. He picked us up at the MSC terminal and took us first to Taormina for a couple of hours and then to the beach for another two. He treated us to granita and a warm brioche and even gave us a magnet. An exquisite person. We returned to the ship without any problems and well ahead of time. I highly recommend it
Grazie

Grazie
Extraordinary welcome and friendliness
Grazie
I highly recommend this tour. Angelo and Angelica provided a wonderful experience, starting with the narrated drive to Isola Bella where we took a 2 hour boat ride along the coast. My kids loved jumping off the boat into the beautiful water. We then explored Taormina on our own, although Angelica offered to come if we wanted. We tried local foods such as arincina at a restaurant that she recommended. We stopped in Messina for beautiful views, granita and brioche provided by Angelo, and to see the astronomical clock and cathedral. They made sure we were happy and hydrated throughout the day. Angelo was great with communication both before and during the tour. You won’t be disappointed if you book this tour with these great people!
Thank you
A spectacular day in Taormina. We were about NCL Epic and were greeted by our driver Andrea right at the port. He drove us to Taormina to spend time in the quaint town and see the Greek Amphitheater. It was not crowded and we had a great time. Andrea said he could get us a reservation for lunch during our beach time in Isola Bella. It was a great restaurant with an amazing view of the gorgeous water and beach below. The food was incredible & we would not have found this place otherwise. Then Andrea got us an umbrella and water for the beach and we spent a couple of hours enjoying Isola Bella. It was the perfect day! Andrea was so personable and treated us like family. He was happy to go with whatever schedule we wanted and kept in touch with us all day. Truly the best tour we’ve taken in Italy! Book with Angelo for a special day!!! Can’t recommend enough.
Thank you
Highly recommended! Very kind and very skilled! Low price compared to the average! We visited Taormina city and Taormina beach with him. Expert guide.

This was the best unexpected day! Our excursion through Celebrity was canceled and we weren’t sure what to do. We spoke with a Taxi service right off the cruise ship and that is where we met Angelo! He drove us to Taormina where we strolled through the picturesque streets of Corso Umberto and we had a wonderful lunch and then Angelo picked us back up again & took us to see a view of the beautiful beach, Isola Bella and a few other iconic spots. He then took us to Messina where we saw a beautiful church, Basillica Messina and then treated us to the best cannolis we have ever eaten before dropping us back at the cruise ship. Thank you Angelo!!! You were so kind! We had such an amazing day!!! Your city is beautiful! The cannolis were delicious! You made our trip to Sicily so memorable! God bless you!!
Thank you
This was hands down the best excursion I have ever been on and it went beyond my expectations. My best friend and I traveled to Taormina from Sicily on a cruise and weren’t sure how to get around or how to navigate how to get to our excursion. Angelo and Sal took away all worries and not only made sure we made it to our boat on time but showed us restaurants and booked our reservation for us, showed us new cool picture spots and delicious food options (cannolis 😋) which we would have never found on our own! Angelo and Sal made our Sicily experience so memorable and I would 100% book them again and recommend them to all my friends and family. We hit the jackpot with these guys! Thanks again A & S!!
Thank you
We were lucky enough to make an excursion to Taormina and Messina accompanied by Angelo , a very special person. He was punctual, kind and helpful throughout the day, telling us curiosities and anecdotes about the places visited with great passion and expertise. He made us discover suggestive corners and gave us great tips for leisure. You can immediately feel that he loves his work and that he cares a lot about making visitors live an authentic and pleasant experience. Thanks to him we spent an unforgettable day in Sicily. Highly recommended!
