Taormina tour - Our tour guides Allesandro and Aurora were amazing. They had refreshments ready for us when the tour started. They provided a comfortable vehicle for touring. Aurora was very friendly and helpful through the tour. She pointed out all the important places to see and we saw quite a bit with the limited time available.

- Alessandro and Aurora were exceptional! We asked for special arrangements and exception for starting our tour later than scheduled so they could accommodate us so we could attend Sunday Mass before going into Taormina. They greeted us after and took us to a cafe for a snack and refreshment before beginning our tour. They were both very knowledgeable drinking and taking us around everywhere . Aurora recommended shops for us and a place for a light lunch which was excellent! She was so knowledgeable about the area and history of Sicily and Italy in general. Both very friendly and went out of their way to make our experience so enjoyable. Would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Messina and Sicily!!

Wonderful experience - The drive, Allesandro was excellent, took us to memorable spots gave us time to explore, cannoli was best i ever had! The theme bar was quite an unusual experience, but the drive was best, green, lush countryside.

This is the only way to go!!! - Alessandro and his family were so accommodating. The meeting point was exactly as it was instructed and with ease. Francesco our driver knew everything there was to know about Taormina and it was very educational. I highly recommended this private tour for couples or families. It was easy and so much fun.

Great Shopping - Bahar was energetic and positive. We all liked her. However she needed to really learn to guide. Stop to face the entire group and talk so we all hear. Focus more on details and history of the monuments and buildings. We had no mention of the big Roman Theatre. She give us a fantastic recommendation for lunch. We enjoyed the day.
