Taormina city and overlooks - We learned so much about Taormina’s past and saw hidden gems off the main streets. Marco was an excellent guide with perfect English and spoke with emotion.

An Amazing Day in Sicily - Excellent tour guide in Catania. Sicily, Italy. I may mot spell it correctly . Cheers to Carrillo. He gave excellent instructions where to meet us by the cruise port. We saw everything and even did some shopping. Beautiful historic sites and architecture. Castelmola was picturesque. Our tour included visiting a family owned cannoli shop to watch them make the delicious treats . We each enjoyed a cannoli. Our day ended with tasting arancini and almond wine from the region. His English was excellent and his car was clean and cool. We invited him to come visit us in Texas and we would take him to a Texan livestock show and rodeo in Houston . It was an amazing day.

Don’t miss Taormina and Castelmola! - We LOVED this tour!! Taormina is gorgeous and our guide Corrado was awesome! He gave us just enough info without boring us with facts and history. Plus he took us to the most amazing and oldest cannoli shop in the town! We then headed up to Castelmola which was a spectacular mountain top town and had lunch at a very interesting and very delicious restaurant! It was a fantastic day! I highly recommend this tour!

Terrific tour and yummy food - Corrado was terrific. He had so much knowledge about the area and knew where to direct us that we would have missed on our own. The towns were beautiful and some of our favorite. He also knew the best places for a snack and best cannoli we have ever had!

5 stars: Taormina with a local guide - Omar was the best guide! He took us to the Greek theatre, showed us the best chocolate in town and took us to all the little spots only a local would know. He was open to all we wanted to do! 5 stars! He treated us like family. Highly recommend. Bravo

Great introduction to Taormina - This was our first stay in Sicily. Taormina was our home base. We took this tour early during our stay and it was a great introduction to the area. Elena was a very good tour guide and very instructive . Great views especially from Castelmola. We definitely recommend this tour .

Amazing Multi-generation Family Tour - We spent the day with Corrado and had an amazing experience from start to end. We were in town off a cruise (my parents and family (including 2 teenagers) and went from Catania to Taormina and on to Castelmola. Everything was well planned, including stops to experience food and wine, and Corrado's explanations were fascinating and engaging for our entire family. It was a day we will always remember!
