What a great day! Meetup was seamless, bus was new and comfortable, driver was great, Antonella could not have been more hospitable - felt like you were being shown around by a friend :). In Taormina, get the arancino and the granite con brioche … so good! Thanks for the best tour of our cruise
Exceptional tour! Antonella was absolutely amazing and our boat tour with Antonio was unforgettable! A perfect day!
This was an excellent trip and worked well with the cruise schedule (8.30-3.30pm so back with plenty of time). I would highly recommend it as great mix with boat trip & visiting Tourisamo. Our guide Maria was extremely knowledgeable & gave us useful pointer for our free time. Would highly recommend the trip!
Amazing trip! Mariagrazia was super friendly and awesome! Great overall experience, and best excursion of my family’s European trip!
This tour was the highlight of our shore excursions and our cruise. Peppe was our enthusiastic guide who made the day incredibly enjoyable. This tour treated us as welcome guests and gave us so much more value that we expected! The boat tour and swim near the Blue Grotto was incredible! Then we spent a couple of hours exploring Taormina. Peppe provided a treat for the guests at the end of the tour. We highly recommend this excursion!
This was definitely the best tour during our 11 days in Italy, with the best tour guide Antonella. Her structure, knowledge, and enthusiasm ensured we had the best tour ever. Antonella even arranged a Mt. Etna eruption for us. The tour included some tastes of Italy and a celebratory drink on the boat. Antonella gave excellent recommendations for Taormina. Our bus driver, Giovanni, was great. It was a stress free drive in which Giovanni & Antonella were a perfect Team ensuring we were in position to see all key spots on our drive. Don’t hesitate to book this phenomenal tour and request Antonella.
We had a very nice drive (30-45 min) from Messina to Taormina, followed by a two hour boat ride with optional swimming time for anyone interested. The optional “Shopping /Lunch time” of two hours was a bit long. Authentic Cannolo, Brioche with Gelato and other surprises await (on your own dime). Excellent narration and guiding by Peppe.
This was one of the best tours I’ve (we’ve ) ever been on, and I’ve been on 80+ cruises with tours. Our guide Antonella was from Sicily and very willing to share about her culture and the various cities we went through on the way to Taormina. It was educational while being fun! We went on a wonderful boat ride and was able to swim in a bay in the ocean. Then we visited another area of Taormina on top of the mountain with wonderful views, shops, and places to eat. at the end of our tour, my grandson left his cell phone on the bus by accident. The Discover Messina to our employees went way above and beyond to get it back. The bus had already left the terminal and then after he was reached, she pulled off the road and waited for one of them on a moped to come get his phone and return it to us at the ship! I’ve never had such above and beyond se rvice in the entire world! I debated whether I wanted to go on this tour and I’m so happy we did. It’s worth every penny! I highly recommend it!!! You won’t to get your decision?
We saw beautiful places and our driver Davide was amazing and knew the Amalfi so well filled with lots of knowledge
Absolutely wonderful! The guides were amazing and worth it!! Would do it again.
