At the ticket office you will find the accredited guide who will accompany you inside the Ancient Theater explaining what you will see, including a fantastic view of the Etna Volcano. 50 minutes to arrive.

Thank you so much! 😊 It was a pleasure meeting you, and I’m glad you had a great time. Hope to see you again soon!
We were very pleased to be accompanied on this trip to Taormina by Massimo. Precise guy, punctual, sociable and very attentive to driving. If understood by those who leave again, they will certainly be happy to meet him again.
Of all our tours of Italy and all our drivers Max is by far far my favorite!!!! He drove with calm confidence and the best smile. Loved his knowledge base and enthusiasm keep it up max!!!¡
Thank you for prefering me and for trusting me, I look forward to seeing you with your family for the next visit to Sicily! Byeee😃
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Max recently, and I cannot express enough how wonderful my experience was. Max is truly a gem when it comes to providing transportation and ensuring his passengers have a memorable journey. What struck me most about Max was his kindness and genuine willingness to go above and beyond to make sure I had a fantastic experience. He possesses a level of customer service that is truly exceptional. His warm and welcoming demeanor made me feel like I was in the company of a dear friend rather than just a passenger. Max's attentiveness to his customers is unmatched. He anticipated my needs, whether it was adjusting the temperature of the vehicle to ensure my comfort or providing useful information about the area without me even asking. It's evident that he genuinely cares about the well-being and happiness of his passengers. In a world where great service can sometimes be hard to come by, Max shines as a true example of what exceptional customer service should be. I am grateful for the experience of being in his capable hands and am thrilled to have met such a kind-hearted individual. I definitely recommend you Max!
You are too kind and nice, I remember you and the beautiful day we spent together. Thank you for everything! See you next time!
Day of relaxation with my girlfriend, thanks to Max who took us to Taormina and Castelmola and showed us what we could visit. We traveled with his comfortable new van and on the way back to Messina he took us to a panoramic point that was not expected and offered us a typical dessert
Fa parte del mio lavoro far passare le giornate in relax e portare gente come voi a vedere le nostre meraviglie senza stress di guidare, trovare il parcheggio dove non è sempre facile trovarlo, avere la possibilità di bere un drink senza rimettersi alla guida rischiando, e tanto altro. A presto e grazie per avermi scelto.
Our trip to Taormina with Max was excellent! He was at the port on time and provided the best service! Took us to Taormina and even had some Italian Snacks for us! Great day!
Thank you for everything, I always try to give my best! See you next time!😃👋
