Superb tour with Salvo in Sicily! - We had the absolute pleasure of touring Savoca and Taormina with Salvo and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, he brought the rich history and stunning beauty of Sicily to life with a deep knowledge and passion for the region. In Savoca, Salvo took us beyond the typical tourist spots, sharing fascinating stories about the town’s connection to The Godfather and its unique culture. The blend of cinematic history with authentic local insights made for an unforgettable experience. In Taormina, he expertly guided us through the ancient streets, ensuring we didn't miss any of the breathtaking views or hidden gems that might be overlooked without a local’s expertise. Salvo was attentive to every detail, from accommodating our pace to offering excellent recommendations for local restaurants and shopping. The personal anecdotes, passion for Sicily, and warm hospitality turned our day into something truly special. If you are considering a tour of this region, I cannot recommend Salvo enough. He made Sicily come alive in a way that will stay with us forever.

Spectacular Trip - Taormina and Savoca was spectacular. Very beautiful and a lot of restaurants and stores to visit in Taormina and a very incredible Greek theater from old times. The guide was very good and explain in detail the highlights of what we were visiting.

Excellent Tour and Amazing Tour Guide - Salvo was the most amazing tour guide, he taught us so much information about the region and in particular Mt Etna. He also recommended the most amazing seafood lunch destination in Taormina which had both excellent food and postcard views. The town & walk around tour of Savoca where part of the godfather was filmed was also a highlight & a place we would love to visit again.

Excellent experience, organization and planning - Excellent tour, our guide Valeria took us through the streets of Savoca where The Godfather was filmed, she also took us through Taormina, everything was super well organized and detailed. I highly recommend it, my husband and I were very happy. Also, the day before this tour, we had another tour which was cancelled, so we are very grateful because this agency saved us at the last minute so we didn't miss our last day in Taormina and Savoca as we had planned. We also told him that we liked the White Lotus series and he took us to the hotel and the places where it was filmed ❤️

Lovely tour day - We had a lovely day with our driver Valentino. He took us to Savoca and we had a relaxing coffee at the Bar Vitello, walked up to the church and enjoyed the area. Our time in Taormino was super as well. We had been to the Greek amphitheatre the day before on our 10 day bus tour, so we got to see other parts of the town and try some typical street food. We even got to go into the courtyard of the Four Seasons hotel where White Lotus was filmed. Another couple who were in the vehicle when we got picked up, were taken to their hotel due to some issue. And so, we had the whole day just us....it was great. Thank you.

Discrimination of disabled people at clubhouse - On the final night of our holiday . We visited the showdown as we had all week. The security guard on the door stoped my husband in his mobility scooter and said . You can not keep that in the clubhouse. My husband is a double leg amputatee . I made it clear that he needs it to go to the bathroom as he cant walk on prosthetic legs as he has brittle bones . The security guard became aggressive and told us we were leaving and not to buy bingo tickets. The manager was called and after a long debate on being told the scooters and wheelchair in the premises were more exempt than a double leg amputatee husband common sense prevailed and he was allowed in . This was embarrassing and disgrimanative. The security guard shouted this is "Bull S**t" before storming off in front of my family and the manager . Trecco Bay this is shocking from such a reputable family holiday park . The staff need to be taught discretion, tolerance, and respect . A disabled person should never be made to feel that way . Sh ame on you ....
