Great tour that included key sites and excellent explanations. Chiara did a great job explaining the history of Taormina and the significance of the sites.
Very fun and informative tour with a wonderful, kind, and consensus guide. Breath taking views and we were well taken care of. Highly recommended!
Chiara was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would hoarily recommend it.
Chiara was very knowledgeable and imparted a perfect amount of information. The views were spectacular. The places we visited were amazing. We stopped to taste some delights as well. The only unfortunate part was having to ignore her being on the phone throughout the trip. This was probably an exception but it was annoying
Chiara was the best! We loved spending the morning with her on our first full day in Taromina learning all about the area and getting a great education on the history! Her extensive knowledge was truly incredible, 5 stars isn't enough!
Thank you so much Elisabeth...! Such appreciation just motivates me even more to do my best to make a cultural visit the most enjoyable possible during what is supposed to be a relaxing vacation...
Absolutely loved Chiara! She was so insightful and knowledgeable. Could have spent longer with her! We really enjoyed the tour.
Thank you Bridget Nice time spent together... We try to do our best in these hot days to make the tour as much enjoyable as possible and in your company it was an easy job thanks to your mood and your interest. A guide always highly appreciate these qualities in the guests...!
We spent a lovely morning with Jerry as our guide. He clearly loves Taormina, he spoke enthusiastically & with great knowledge on the local area. He took us to some lovely sights, the highlights being the amphitheater, gardens and some of the quirkier off the main road points. It was a super hot day and our youngest wasn’t very enthusiastic about the tour but we took our time and never felt rushed. Jerry was super helpful finding us a restaurant that catered for gluten free food at the end of our tour and even messaged me afterwards to connect us with a local boat trip for later in our stay. We’re pleased we took the personal option of a private tour for our family group and were happy to pay for that.
Jerry is so special to turn tough challenges in pleasant experiences and that's why we love him so much for the great job he makes in our guide group!!!
Very informative, thoroughly enjoyed the morning with Chiara. We now understand the history of Taormina.
Thank you Dorian It wad a pleasure to tour you around Taormina and i hope I succeeded to keep you the most possible in the shade to let you enjoy the visit in spite of the heat of this Summer...
Chiara was a wonderful tour guide of Taormina. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We got to skip the line for the Teatro Antico, which was an added bonus. Chiara also found us all the shady spots on the tour to keep us cooler on a hot July day. We had a wonderful time!
Thank you Gabriella It was a delight to tour your family around and considering the heat, I tried to do my best to make the visit the most comfortable possible for your children, too.
Chiara was great and we felt like we got a great lay of the land with some history! She kept it interesting and engaging.
Thank you Fanny My satisfaction if I was able to bring you Sicily closer...! :)
