HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Best Sicily excursion experience!!! - This was hands down the best excursion I have ever been on and it went beyond my expectations. My best friend and I traveled to Taormina from Sicily on a cruise and weren’t sure how to get around or how to navigate how to get to our excursion. Angelo and Sal took away all worries and not only made sure we made it to our boat on time but showed us restaurants and booked our reservation for us, showed us new cool picture spots and delicious food options (cannolis 😋) which we would have never found on our own! Angelo and Sal made our Sicily experience so memorable and I would 100% book them again and recommend them to all my friends and family. We hit the jackpot with these guys! Thanks again A & S!!

5 stars - We were lucky enough to make an excursion to Taormina and Messina accompanied by Angelo , a very special person. He was punctual, kind and helpful throughout the day, telling us curiosities and anecdotes about the places visited with great passion and expertise. He made us discover suggestive corners and gave us great tips for leisure. You can immediately feel that he loves his work and that he cares a lot about making visitors live an authentic and pleasant experience. Thanks to him we spent an unforgettable day in Sicily. Highly recommended!

Great experience from Messina to Taormina! - Great experience! Angelo was great, he took us from Messina to Taormina. When we finished touring around we called him and in two minutes he was there to pick us up. The. He took us to Isola Bella to take a few pictures, then to a nice beach for a quick Mediterranean swim, lastly he dropped us of at Messina. Great service and value from Angelo!!

If you judged Sicily... - If you judged Sicily based upon the view from your cruise ship, you would miss all of the beauty that the island had to offer. Termina was absolutely gorgeous, and the views were unlike anything we saw. Make sure to stop and eat Cristina’s. Can’t remember name of the place but when you’re walking through the town they have a chocolate and pistachio shop that you need to stop at. The lemon cello and pesto were the best we have had. When you go to the beach make sure you bring some water shoes unless you want a DEEEEEP tissues massage on the bottom of your feet.

One of the best tours I have ever taken - I cannot recommend this tour enough!! Angelo and Aurora were amazing tour guides who had taken my family and I around Messina, Taormina, and Isola Bella beach after docking in Messina from our cruise. Throughout the entire tour we listened to historical information about the cities and saw the most incredible places. We tried granita and cannoli, a must try on this tour!! They both were so knowledgeable about the surrounding areas and the local spots to go to. I 100% would take this tour again. It is perfect for families and just an overall amazing experience, they treated us like family!

A beautiful day in Sicily! Thank you Angelo and Aurora! - Angelo and Aurora helped us have a fabulous day in Sicily! Communication about arrival and pickup was clear. They were on time. The vehicle was roomy and air conditioned! Cold water provided throughout the day. We got some good information about the area, stopped at some beautiful spots and they got some group photos of us. We had time to explore Taormina on our own. We then got dropped off at Isola Bella Beach. WORD OF CAUTION- the steps going down and back up are brutal and you need some type of water shoes to walk on the shore and in the water! No sand here! There were so many people that we did not even stay! An umbrella was provided by Angelo but we could not even get it in the rocky ground to stand up! We went back to Messina and hit some highlights there, tasted some Granita and then returned to ship. I highly recommend Angelo and Aurora! Thank you for showing us your beautiful city!

The Best Messina and Taormina Adventure!!!!!!!! - What an amazing adventure! Angelo was amazing and took us to everything we wanted to see and more. We saw Taormina, hung out on the beach at Isola Bella. Then had an amazing lunch overlooking the beach! Then he took us to all the sights in Messina and ended with Garnitas and Cannolis at the best place in Messina. Angelo was an outstanding driver and he and his assistant Altusha really helped us learn all we could about Sicily during that time. We could not gotten a better tour. If we could give it 100 stars we would. Thank you Angelo and Altusha for making our stop in Messina all that it could be!
