Convenient way to see Sicily! - Clean air-conditioned Mercedes van made for an easy tour around Sicily! Silvi and Nichola were great! Very flexible with timing and quick with communication. They even dropped some of our party off at the beach and took my mother to a cafe so she could rest out of the sun.

Private Tour are the Best! - This was a fantastic private Tour! This is the only way to travel and explore. Our driver Lillo, was exceptional! He drove us to all the views for pictures, gave us time to explore and shop around. And then recommend the most amazing lunch at the top of the mountain. Great experience and one my family will remember. Thank You

The Dolce Vita — Perfect day in Taormina and Isola Bella from Messina Cruiseport - Silvia and Nicola gave us a lovely and perfect day! Pre-arrival Silvia reached out and provided helpful information and details — excellent communication. Our greeting was on time, warm and friendly, we felt like family from the start. As per the itinerary we went first to Taormina — beautiful town, gardens, shops and atmosphere and views! Silvia provided recommendations and maps and just the right amount of information and historical context. Nicola safely and expertly navigated the awkward and tight spots driving. We then were free to explore and they met us promptly as planned. We spent the afternoon at gorgeous Isola Bella beach. It is a rocky and a little bit slippery-getting-into-the water beach, but we snorkelled from the beach and saw lots of fish. Beautiful views — you can’t believe you are there — amazing location. We ended the day back in Messina with a hilltop stop, and stop to see the famous clock tower and were treated to authentic Sicilian Cannolas and gelato — light, crisp, sweet and delicious! A wonderful day to remember with beautiful vistas and kind, friendly and professional hosts.

Great tour, great group! - Wonderful day- met new friends! Wanted to see and learn a little about Sicily, and taste of the local foods. Great to be in a small group. Silvia was an amazing guide and helpful with getting around Taormina & Isola Bella. Water was cold but beautiful! Definitely would come back and go with Messina Tours by Coppola!

Great last minute tour - We were on a cruise and only had a few hours in Messina. We booked this tour last minute 2 days prior to arriving. Communication via whatsapp was great. They took us to Taormina which is a great town for shopping & restaurants. You can easily spend 2-3 hours of free time there. On the way back he took us to a quick stop to get more pictures of beautiful views and then to Isola Beach. We ate at an amazing restaurant - Ristorante de Giovanni - it was quiet and had beautiful view of Isola Beach. Isola Beach has big rocks and very busy (take water shoes). There is a private beach club there where you will spend $150 for 2 chairs and an umbrella for 2 people (if more than 2 - $300+). We could only get an umbrella for $10 which was fine because we only had an before heading back to the cruise port. They do have a restaurant at the beach. Be prepared to go down alot of steps and then back up for pickup up. This is not the kind of tour that will give you history facts. Overall a good day.

Too expensive for what you get - This was not a private tour. It felt very uncomfortable. I would not recommend this. I'm sure it would be better for me to provide more detail, but I am just too tired. I would not recommend this for the price. Taormina is a must see, but there are less expensive options where you won't feel like a burden and an afterthought.
