We had the best day with Marisa and Francesco! They happily shared their love for their island with us! We had the most enjoyable day visiting Savoca, a charming village that was the location for the wedding and bar scenes from The Godfather movie and then on to Taormina for some shopping. a wonderful lunch and amazing sea views. I wholeheartedly recommend Booking Sicily tours for an unforgettable day!! Be sure to ask for Marisa and Francesco!!!
It wasfantastic. I would highly recommend them
We learned so much and really enjoyed our day in Savoca and Taormina! Definitely recommend doing this tour! We were on a cruise and it worked out great!
Absolutely perfect day! The tour was well organized and the communication was excellent - Highly Recommend for a fantastic experience!
Alessandro and Aurora were wonderful hosts for our tour of Sicily! They were promptly waiting for us in the morning at our cruise port and were ready to go with bottled water and air conditioning in the van on this super hot day! We visited Savoca and Touramina and had a wonderful time! Alessandro and Aurora worked around our schedule and steered the stops and history around what we wanted to learn and do! They were very accommodating! They were able to recommend restaurants for lunch and took lots of pictures for us to remember this day with them. Alessandro even took the time to buy us small gifts to remember our visit! Overall, it was a fantastic experience! ❤️
Thank you for the nice expresses for me And aurora you are really very kind
Our family of seven had an absolutely incredible tour today, all thanks to our phenomenal driver, Alessandro! He truly made the experience special, not just with his in-depth knowledge of Sicilian history and culture, but the bonus highlight for everyone was definitely the karaoke session, it was an absolute blast and created some unforgettable memories for our family. If you're looking for a tour that combines rich cultural immersion with genuine fun, Alessandro is the way to go!
Alessandro & Hana were the perfect hosts! We had an amazing day visiting Savoca & Taormina. Pickup was seamless from the Messina port, where our cruise ship was docked - it was door to door service. My father uses a wheelchair and they were so incredibly accommodating. We visited Savoca first, to see the Godfather sites - had a drink at Bar Vitelli before heading up the “wedding walk” to the church. My father was able to take a tuk-tuk up, so no issues there. From Savoca, we went to Taormina. Made a stop at a beautiful overlook for some great pics. We were hungry so Hana suggested a perfect place for lunch, Mamma Rosa (hospitality & food were amazing). Then walked around and did some shopping before heading back to our ship. You can tailor the experience to do what you want, which was exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend! It was a PERFECT day.
Taormina is a beautiful city, we then went to the island of isola Bella. Thanks to our guide Alessandro, who was extremely kind
Great tour with my family where Alessandro made us visit beautiful places my favorite Savoca we are film lovers on Godfather thank you really super recommended 10 stars
My family and I had an amazing trip with Alessandro! He was knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. He was kind and thoughtful with my elderly mom ensuring she was comfortable and able to see sites. He was on time and ensured we were back at the port in time for our departure. The excursion was way better than we could have hoped.
