Private tour of Taormina - 5 out of 5 plus extra stars This was by far one of my favorites in Sicily! Francisco and Elena were prompt picking us up at the Port of Messina and took us on a private tour to Taormina. Francisco was an excellent driver and Elena was very knowledgeable about the history of Sicily and Taormina. She stayed with us through the town of Taormina and showed us certain sights that made it extra special… like the picture of my sisters and I in front where the White Lotus movie was filmed!

Best roadtrip to Taormina - Totally worthy to do the 45min drive to Taormina! The town looks like a fairytale, not crowded as the most popular destinations where you cant even walk. Highly recommend Francesco, he’s super friendly, punctual, welcoming, a good driver spoiling us with Italian music on the way, sharing wifi, and keen to take pics, we loved the tour! The car was spotless too. He took us to a scenery spot on the way back and was always reachable by phone. 100/100 Thank you from the Mexican fam!

Nice day in Savoca/ Taormina/ Messina - I went on a couple's trip with my boyfriend this summer. I really wanted to visit the city of the Godfather and the beautiful Taormina. Among the various tours that were on tripadvisor, we chose you from Get in Sicily. I thank you for your professionalism, seriousness, and mastery of the English language which is very important for us since we don't speak Italian. Thanks for the beautiful day, Francesco and Yli

Best day in Sicily. Savoca-Taormina - Savoca is a charming Sicilian village. Taormina is beautiful and with architectural beauties and crystal clear sea. I really liked Savoca because we visited the location of the film "The Godfather", where iconic scenes were filmed. The Bar Vitelli is a small museum where you can see all the scenes from the film. We will return to Sicily and do another tour with you. Thanks guys Get in Sicily. Love your company
