The mountain and the ocean
Simona was a great tour guide, he was very informative. He gave us the freedom to explore without rushing but we were lucky enough to have just only us two on the tour!!
We had a great day learning about Sicily 🫶

What an amazing tour! Alex our guide couldn’t have been better, his knowledge and enthusiasm about volcanoes is never ending and made the trip unforgettable. The wine tasting was an added bonus with food and wine delicious and plentiful in a beautiful chilled setting. Definitely worth the 5 stars!!

Etna Taormina Departure from MessinaCamper37096627103, Aug 2026
AMAZING & EXCELLENT Experience!
Alessandro and our tour guide Marissa were absolutely fantastic! They took great care of us. Brought us to amazing picture worthy spots. Explain the history along with local info of all the spots they were taking us to. We especially had fun eating at the restaurant with amazing Greek food! Not to mention the bar where Alessandro had a plate two drinks and some souvenirs because it was our 30th wedding anniversary. If you want a really amazing tour that is private and personal…. Plus you’re treated like a VIP …You will not be disappointed!

Etna Taormina Departure from Messinalisah559, Aug 2026
Adventurous day on Mt Etna!
We had an absolutely wonderful day with our guide Hana and driver Andrea. After a quick pick up from the cruise port we headed to our first stop - Mt Etna. Our visit coincided with the start of the activity there so we weren’t sure what we would be able to do.After visiting the cones at the bottom, we were able to take the cable car to nearly the top - around 2500m. During our visit we experienced sun, rain, fog and more sun. It was an incredible visit. From there we headed to Taormina and the Greek Theatre. This was a breathtaking sight.Rather than a sit down lunch we opted for street food - which was delicious.Throughout our guide was knowledgeable and informative and our driver knew all the spots to stop for great photos.Highly recommend!!

Sicily Gems – Taormina Savoca Tour from Messina PortcharlesgY9634WW, Jul 2026
Really special few hours and ship departure timing worked perfectly.
Great value for a cruise tour the price was more than decent & you really did receive great value & service. Highly recommend this to any traveler going out of Messina on a cruise ship. Excellent organization and driver, marvellous sites & on time to meet the cruise timetable.
aliciawV5345GA, Jul 2026
The experience was good for both children and adults.
The sole complaint, if any, is the desire for more time spent in Castelmola as it was relaxing that we did not want to depart. Rest the organization was perfect, the guide met us directly at harbor, and the transportation was comfortable. Which is very important to schedule tightly with the ship.

Godfather Tour
We had the most amazing day on the Godfather Tour, and that was all thanks to our guide, Fabrizio. His local knowledge was outstanding, and he brought every stop to life with fascinating stories and history.What really made the day special was how wonderful he was with our son, Ollie. He made him feel included throughout the tour, which meant so much to us.Fabrizio was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Sicily, and he truly made the whole experience unforgettable. If you’re thinking of booking this tour, we couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you for giving us one of the highlights of our holiday!
