Sabrina was fantastic! We were fortunate we had her as our guide. She was super informative and knew so much about the culture and history of Taormina and Castaelmona. Plenty of time for sightseeing and shopping

Great tour, amazing views of the sea from Castelmola and Mt Etna from Taormina, did some shopping for souvenirs enjoyed afew Sicilian treats, got some interesting information. Tour was worth money spent making memories! Let me also mention great communication, ease of finding them at cruise port and sufficient time back to port. No worries to book if on a cruise, better value than cruise line excursions!

Don't miss this great small group tour! If I could, i would give it 6-stars. Our guide Sara was very knowledgeable and shared interesting facts along the way and the history of Castelmola and Taromina. We left in a spacious 7 passenger van and felt safe driving along the cliffs. Sara provided almond cookies, water and a map of the area. She took pictures for you, pointed out local plants, recommended stores, restaurants, and other sites depending on your interests. She is a local gem! Headsets are provided. They are in contact with port authorities and aware of cruise ship departures, so don't worry.
