Convenient Private transportation for a big group - First, this is not a guided tour— it’s only transportation! We booked private transportation for our group of 10. The driver dropped us off at Corso Umberto, a town in Taormina. Spent the morning shopping and walking around, admiring the view. Then he came back to pick us up and drove us to Isola Bella Beach where we had lunch and spent the afternoon swimming. And then he returned to drive us back to the cruise port. The driver knew enough basic English to communicate. But the convenience of having private transportation was great!

Taxi round trip to Taormina - We took the taxi at the exit of the port, the driver was a great guy and a good professional. Santino's brother would always recommend him too.

Don’t miss Taormina!! - Martsia picked us up easily & on time from the dock. She gave us extra time in town & showed us a few sights in Messina when we returned. Taormina is a lovely Sicilian town that should not be missed. The views are incredible & the shops upscale.

Use Santino! - Santino was great! He pick us up last minute at the Messina port and took us to Taormina. We loved him so much we had him take us to Catania too! His English is good and he points out landmarks on the way. I would recommend to anyone coming in town who is looking for a tour or just a transfer! Thank you so much Santino!!

Wonderful tour. - We arrived in Messina on a cruise ship and Santino was at the terminal waiting. He was so very kind and thoughtful especially in regards to my wheelchair. We went to Taromina and Catemola which were both beautiful. He then took us to a local restaurant for lunch and to the beach. We weren't rushed and he was very friendly and always smiling. We had a wonderful fun day and highly recommended booking his service. He is truly a lovely guy and very passionate about his home Island. Thank you for making our day so special
