Great tour guide - Enzo was an excellent tour guide. He provided alot of history and was able to speak three languages. The time spent in Taormina should of been longer.

A nice overview - This half-day excursion in a small group, accompanied by a friendly and very knowledgeable guide, allows you to highlight sites other than the cities.

Learning the history of the area. - Our guide Andrea was very knowledgeable. He shared history in an entertaining way including local mythology. It linked in from our recent travels in Greece! Really enjoyed the day and the lovely cool air conditioning of the minibus. Taormina was quite crowded still in September, book ahead if you want to see the Ancient Greek Amphitheatre.

SHAMEFUL - My partner and I took an excursion that included the cities of Naxos, Taormina and Castelmola.
Well, to begin with we were in a van without air conditioning.
The worst thing is that the guide hardly explained anything during the excursion and what he said seemed taken from Wikipedia, when I say nothing it is nothing, he barely spoke.
It was the first time that the guide had done this route, he confessed to us that he did not do that type of routes, but rather he did naturist routes.
And to end this disastrous experience, in Taormina they left us TWO HOURS ALONE and gave us a map in English, when the route was contracted in Spanish.
Pay
We paid and felt cheated.
They do not answer phone calls or emails

Not what we paid for - Giving one start because it doesn’t allow less…
We had an awful experience with them. Booked a trip to Taormina, Giardini-naxos and Castelmola. There was no air conditioning on the van ( we were 7 people) Booked online and the website states “Guaranteed culture and learning” but we had a naturalist guide who gave have no explanations. We were left alone for 2h with a meeting point and a map.
The trip was booked in Spanish but it was in English.
I have written to them twice in three days asking for a refund, several calls and no answer. Get away from booking with them!
