Great time in Taormina and Blue Grotto - Cecilia was an excellent tour guide with a lot of interesting facts and history about the areas we visited. She had a good sense of humor and was quite helpful when we had questions.

Boat trip Giardini Naxos and Isola Bella - Our group was separated into 2 boats. We were 10 people. Giuliana was an excellent guide. Wish she had a microphone. With boat engine it was hard to hear her sometimes. She gave a lot of information during the cruise and it was very enjoyable I would recommend this tour. You had the option to swim or snorkel in the bay. We also went to 2 caves. Very good!!

Great experience! - Andrea picked us up at the port on time and we immediately boarded the bus and on our way! We had free time Taromina to take pictures explore and try some street food and Cannoli’s great recommendations by Andrea. From there we met the group and continue to our boat tour to Isola Bella. We had a beautiful boat ride seeing the island of Isola Bella up close! We were also able to see to Grottos. Being was made the water was still a little too cold to swim so instead we walked to a nearby beach to put our toes in the water. We had a beautiful day and highly recommend this tour. Thanks again, Andrea for the great memories.

Worth every penny, so Memorable! - Claudia and Andrea made this excursion the most memorable of our entire European vacation. We didn’t get to do the boat portion due to high winds and rains, but they quickly offered an alternative to a small mountain town and it was fantastic! They were so attentive to our having the best experience possible and went out of their way to assure it was just that, the best experience possible. Andrea was an excellent driver and Claudia so upbeat and knowledgeable. They both spoke great English. I would highly recommend the tour! If we are ever lucky enough to return to Sicily…we would book again and request these two guides.
