Family trip July 2025 - Had the best day in Taormina with our tour guide Federica and driver Fulvio. We had a private walking tour around Tairmina town. They arranged for a lunch right by the Sea. Then we were able to walk down to the Isola Bella beach area. Wish we had water shoes because it was all rocks! I would definitely recommend a tour with them.

Taormina/Isola Bella with Alessandro - The day we spent with Alessandro was amazing. We saw Taormina and Isola Bella. He made sure we did what we wanted and had sufficient time to do everything. He took lots of pictures throughout the day and then shared his love for Messina with us. We had plenty of time to make it back to port. We also loved the singing in the car.

Fabulous personal Sicily Tour to do just what you want to do. - One of the best tours my family has taken. This is a perfect option when you are trying to plan a tour and you are unsure of what you really want to do when you get to Sicily. No big group tour, no headphones in your ears, no big charter bus. You choose your shopping dining and time at the beach. Don’t forget to stop for a cannoli. Perfect for our family of two college daughters and my husband. We had Ariana and Alessandro to ourselves all day.

Best tour in Italy! - I LOVED this tour. We sang karaoke with our driver Alex with a mic and everything! He was a careful driver and he communicated very well, especially with such a large group.
