A beautiful day in Taromina and Isola Bella - Emanuella was a great guide. The tour was organized and a small group which made it very nice. We had free time in Taromina and a beautiful boat ride and swim. We had a few special treats from our guide like a Italian cookie on the way to Taromina and some granita when we arrived. Our captain also gave us prosecco and cookies. All these people details made the day great. They were on time and returned us to the ship timely as well which is important on a cruise. We really enjoyed this!

Beautiful boat tour and Taormina! Loved it! - This is a fabulous tour! We loved every minute. We had an incredible tour guide Emanuela who made it so interesting and fun! She gave us a wonderful history on the bus on the way over with delicious cookies from a local bakery. She was so patient with everyone and took extra care with us. She spoke very well also and easy to understand. Sometimes we struggle with not being able to hear and understand. The water was incredible and warm. The boat tour was 2 hours but it flew by! They took us inside the cave and very close to all the rocks. After our swim we shopped around Taormina and had napoleon type pizza and more gelato! Great shops and nice people there. We want to go back to Taormina forsure! My husband left his phone on the bus and we panicked but they were so gracious and got it back to us before the ship left! Thank you Emanuela ❤️ Book this tour!

Best Tour of Our Honeymoon - This tour exceeded our expectations from the start. We can’t recommend it enough, Alessandra our tour guide was excellent she recommended us with great places to eat while we had free time in Taormina and the restaurant where we had aperitiv was amazing. We started our tour with the boat ride and got to time to swim as well, the boar ride ended with some prosecco. Our group got divided in two and our boat captain Vicente was fun and showed us some great places during our ride.

Great Boat tour! - Emanuel’s was a great tour guide showing us the beautiful Taormina waters and surrounding area. I meant to give this 5 stars but my phone screen only showed up to 4. Beautiful day spent with family and lovely other tourists

A RIP OFF and scam! - RIP OFFFFFF they will literally scam you!!!!!! if I could give this zero stars I would. Extremely overpriced and not at all what the listing states. Your boat ride is super short and not informative at all. You’re better off hiring a private driver and paying for a boat once you arrive in Taormina. I would absolutely not recommend this to anyone.
