Messina is a melting pot of cultures worth discovering! - 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!

A pleasant discovery on holiday! - 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

Unique professionalism and availability - 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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🚀

Trip to Taormina and Castelmola with family and friends - 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 ❤️

Fun and calm - We arrived in Messina with the cruise ship and we found Enzo who took us to Taormina and then to the sea in his taxi, he was with us all day at our disposal, an important guarantee! Reliable and serious person.
