Great Tour - Mt Etna, Taormina and Savoca - A group of us cruised Italy in October and six of us opted for this private tour of Sicily. I was so glad we did. We were met promptly at the cruise port by both a driver and a guide. They were very knowledgeable of the area and even brought us cannoli.

Special Tour 5 - During our port stop in Messina, we took Tour 5 with Fillipo. He was very gracious and informative, and took us to many historical sites during our visit that we never would have been able to see had we utilized the ships excursions. And I doubt they would have provided the absolutely delicious cannoli that Fillipo had for us! Everyone on our tour had a wonderful time and I would recommend Fillipo and Tour 5 to anyone wishing to make the most of their visit to Messina. Many thanks Fillipo!
