Would do this again - What a great tour! So much info about the taormina and the theater packed in a quick 2 hours. Our guide was amazing and even recommended some restaurants which were outstanding. Would highly recommend as a way to orient yourself in the city and quickly learn the history of the area

An inspiring and unique view of Taormina - Our tour guide, Margaret, was both knowledgeable and personable. And very forgiving. We misunderstood our meeting place and yet she waited patiently for us to find our way to her and then extended the length of our tour to make up for the time we had lost. She showed us the special highlights of this magical city by focusing not only on the most popular tourist attractions, but also on those parts of town where the locals tend to hang out. Highly recommend this tour with someone like Margaret who will go above and beyond expectations.

The best tours ever!!! - We did 3 tours with Sicily Activities and the picked us up from the Airport and brought us back. Everything went super perfect, the guides are great and they can really adapt to everything. They offer a very fantastic opportunity to see beautiful Sicily.

Wonderful Experience - We highly recommend this tour! We got lucky in that the four of us got the tour guide to ourselves and he was amazing. Lots of photo opportunities and our guide was a wealth of knowledge. Caution: there is a lot of walking on uneven surfaces and up hilly terrain (but all of Taormina is hills so we were prepared!) A wonderful experience.

Our guide was knowledgeable and it... - <p>Our guide was knowledgeable and it was a pleasant tour. I liked the city even more when I learned some history and the guide shared information about local sites. It ran way over the 90 minutes, as she tried to tell us everything!</p>

Logistical problems limited our enjoyment - We felt lucky to have guessed which end of the street was the intended meeting point. Our tickets indicated the meeting point was at the Greek Theatre, but also gave an address at #1, Via del Teatro Greco which is at the opposite end of a fairly long street. The tour started a little late due to waiting 10 min for a missing group of four. About 30 min into the tour, these four eventually found us complaining that their ticket confirmation indicted yet another incorrect meeting point even further away from where the guide was located. This created a major interruption to our tour and clearly put our guide off this game as he tried to sort out whether to get refunds for these late arrivals, to repeat the first part of the tour, or carry on regardless. Unfortunately, we all had to pay an additional entrance fee to enter the Greek Theatre, and these latecomers through no fault of their-own, only got a few mins inside the Theatre before the entire group left to see other, much less interesting parts of Taormina. Important to note that the tour only lasts 90 min. I would have preferred much more time inside the Theatre, particularly as we had to pay full admission (10 Euros each) for what resulted in a rushed 20-min visit. I think the guide and tour could have been OK, but delays and group unrest limited our enjoyment. Their booking office needs to correct and standardize the information they provide on meeting point location.

They cancelled our tour at the last minute - Not happy that the tour was cancelled at the last minute-we planned our day with this included and needed to make other plans.
