We offer an excursion service from our beloved Sicily. In particular, in these tours we propose a visit to our hometown, Messina, going to visit the Sanctuary of Christ the King, one of the most beautiful panoramic points of the city from where you can see the Strait of Messina. Subsequently it will also be possible to visit the Cathedral of Messina with the largest astronomical clock in the world while also tasting Sicilian sweets and specialties. Another stage of the tour includes the arrival in Taormina, the most famous city in Sicily, with a walk along Corso Umberto, characterized by Gothic and Baroque influences. You will also go to see the "balcony", a panoramic place of the city of Taormina from where you can see the wonderful Isola Bella. The last stop of the tour, however, includes a visit to the village of Castelmola, one of the most evocative villages in Sicily, also influenced by Arab and Norman traditions and styles.

Absolutely fabulous trip. Enzo is the best driver. Asana couldn’t do enough for us. She was so helpful and knowledgeable and just an all-around great person. We loved everything we saw and did. Highly recommend this tour in this tour company.

I have to start by saying they went out of their way to save our excursion in Sicily. Norwegian changed the port from Messsina to Catania the night before we got to Sicily, and this tour company could have just taken my money and walked away due to the port change but they didn’t. We paid a little more to compensate them for the change, but Sebastian was at the new port the morning of our excursion and it was amazing. Sebastian was very informative and fun, and he did an amazing job showing us around Taormina and Castelmola. We had a great time, and he saved our port time in Sicily. I cannot recommend these guys enough. They communicated well and went out of their way to help us have a great day in Sicily. The island is beautiful and Sebastian even brought drinks and a treat. Thank you Enzo and Sebastian for helping us have a great day!!

There were 8 of us (two families)and we enjoyed the day! We were picked up from the cruise port and it was so helpful to have a skilled driver to navigate. We enjoyed beautiful views throughout the drive as well as time to explore in Castelmola and Taormina. When we were ready to leave a place, the driver was always ready and picked us up to move on. A great way to see the area with a short amount of time.

The vehicle which was provided was not the mini-van expected but rather a Mercedes estate car (owned by a taxi company) which did not offer an ideal viewing platform for the four adult occupants to appreciate the towns, villages and open countryside as we passed through it. We were at no time given the opportunity to view any of the key features within the city of Messina (including the Cathedral, The Sanctuary of Christ the King, the Astronomical Clock etc.) but rather on leaving the port went immediately to Castellmola where we spent an hour sampling the local gastronomic delights. We then proceeded to Taormina where we were left to our own devices for two hours. On returning to the car the driver gave us the option of going on to another local place of interest (at extra cost) or returning to the ship. We chose the latter option and proceeded at speed to the port with the driver ignoring any further questions we had. All in all a very disappointing experience given that it did not fulfil that which was advertised and definitely not value for the considerable amount of money paid

I highly recommend this tour of central Messina and its two villages Castelmola and Taormina. The panoramic views in Messina over it's skyline, in Castelmola and in Taormina over the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna were breathtaking!
We had the chance to taste cannoli with different fillings (ricotta, pistachio and chocolate) and the typical almond wine in Castelmola. They also gave us free time to spend on our own in the picturesque town of Taormina, where we also had lunch.
We're going back home not just with many souvenirs, but also with beautiful memories of this melting pot of cultures!

Thanks to Enzo we had the opportunity to visit Taormina and Castelmola. On the way back we visited the main attractions of Messina (panoramic view of the city and port/cathedral).
Enzo is a kind, helpful and punctual person. Well organized tour with plenty of free time for independent shopping.
Highly recommended!!

Thanks Enzo, see you next time

Excellent service, super helpful!! We left from the port of Messina towards Castelmoro, arriving at the entrance to the town Enzo explained to us what to see and how to visit the town, as soon as we finished our stroll through the streets a phone call was enough for us to come and pick us up, we we moved quickly to the center of Taormina, even in that case he explained what to see and remained at our complete disposal for the return trip!! On the way back to Messina he stopped to let us admire the panoramic point of Taormina and he did the same in Messina, then he accompanied us to see the cathedral and from there we wanted to return to the ship on foot... really professional, friendly and nice... highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🚀

Enzo, the name of our tour leader/taxi driver was super professional and at the same time very knowledgeable and made us feel at ease immediately, giving us a beautiful ride with all the calm in the world, when you meet people like Enzo they make you proud of being Sicilian. SUPER IN EVERYTHING ❤️
