Top Tour guide and experience! 5 star! Taormina & Castelmola. - Our private tour of Taormina and Castelmola with Francesco was absolutely excellent! Francesco wasn't just a great tour guide; he was also our driver, and his van was incredibly clean and comfortable. He even took us to a local bar in Castelmola for an excellent almond wine tasting and cannoli. He went above and beyond to make our day special, even giving my son a hat and a small gift containing volcano ash. If you are planning a trip to Sicily, do not hesitate to book with him. Five-star service all the way!

Wonderful tour - The guide was prompt and waiting for us right outside the port gate. He brought us to Castelmola which was a beautiful town. He educated us about the area and showed us some amazing places.
After he brought us to Taormina where we were able to explore on our own for a few hours. He was flexible with the pick up times and was there promptly when we were ready.
A wonderful day and experience.

Great day with Francesco! - Francesco picked us up on time from our port. The van was comfortable with a/c and WiFi and bottles of water. Francesco narrated while he drove us to Taormina and Castlemola and showed us around the latter. He was very nice a pleasant and more reasonable cost than other companies. I highly recommend him!

Beautiful discovery of Taormina - Francesco made us spend an excellent day in Taormina from the cruise port of Messina. We took a detour to Castelmola, a beautiful village that has a magnificent view of Etna. On the return stop in Messina to see the astronomical clock.
We even had a French-speaking guide.
