Day trip from Messina - Three couples toured together with Alessandro and Diamond leaving from our cruise ship in Messina Sicily. We really enjoyed the experience especially the knowledge information and the fun, light atmosphere. Scenery was spectacular in Castelmola and Taormina. Group also enjoyed seeing the town where the “Godfather” was filmed. Be sure to have Alessandro sing to you as he has a great voice.

Perfect private tour for family and friends - Alessandro organized a perfect private tour for our group to explore Svoca, Taormina and Castelmola. His tour fitted perfectly in our schedule which was one day in Messina during our MSC cruise. Recommended!

Great experience! Top value - This was one of the best private tours we experienced on our cruise. We had a wonderful time exploring Savoca, Castelmola and Taormina! Tour packages provided are better quality and comfort at much lower price than what we were offered by our cruise ship. This is a must if you are in Messina for a day tour!

Sicily with Ale! - THANK YOU ALE!! A beautiful day spent with Alessandro, who took us to visit 3 beautiful places: Savoca, Castelmola and Taormina. From the first contact Alessandro proved extremely courteous and professional and an excellent alternative to excursions organized by Msc (in our case Sicily was a stop on the cruise) The day 'was held in accordance with our group times, and the journey enlivened by the beautiful voice of Alessandro and a sing in joy! Super recommended experience!

Amazing Sicily Tour - This was by far the best on-shore tour we experienced on our 12 day trip and we went on a lot of private tours. Alessandro (Alex) Martinez was our host and driver with Assya as our tour guide. Alex was so kind, patient, and charming. He definitely made Sicily memorable. He will even sing for you if you want authentic Italian music while driving in the van :) . Assya was sweet as can be, knowledgeable, and personable. The three villages that we visited were amazing and fun. Cannolis and almond wine were part of the agenda. I can't say enough good things about this excursions but I will say : book with Alex, you will have an amazing day.

Best day ever!!! - This was truly one of the best days and tours we had on our cruise as we spent the day in Sicily. Alessandro Martinez arranged the entire day and was so easy to communicate and plan with before we even arrived. He was an amazing driver who provided a terrific tour guide who accompanied us. He truly cares for his customers and wanted to provide the best experience possible in the time we had together. It was a day we will always treasure and remember!
