Great place to visit

Published on Oct, 2024

Michael was our guide and was great and funny! Best guide we’ve had on our trip in Europe. Michael was very easy to understand in English and he did a great job getting us to the right spots to avoid the crowds. Great little Italian towns to see! Highly recommended!

The beauty of this tour was enchanting

Published on Oct, 2024

Michael, our tour guide was very informative and made us feel so comfortable. He answered questiions and gave us more time at a certain site if we needed it!*****

Loved the cities

Published on Sep, 2024

The cities are absolutely beautiful. We wish we had more leisure time in both however to shop and explore.

Unique Experience

Published on Aug, 2024

Michele was an amazing driver and tour guide. This was an incredible way to see Sicily from a local's perspective. Taormina was so beautiful and Michele told us the perfect place to stop to sample the local croquets. This tour was amazing too because it went to Castelmola, way up on top of the hill, which is impossible for the big tour busses to get up. WOW what a view from up there! We had a delicious lunch and sampled the recommended almond wine before heading back in the beautiful vehicle.

Great Day Seeing Taormina

Published on Sep, 2023

As usual, Viator provided an excellent guide for our family.. He was personable, knowledgeable and did not rush us. Highly recommended.
