Loved Taormina!

Published on May, 2024

The ancient theatre and beautiful sights. We found a little restaurant to have lunch which was perfect. The rainy day did not dampen our experience.

No better way to visit.

Published on Sep, 2023

Personal attention in comfortable sedan, local knowledge of sites and peoples of Mt Etna, casual conversation with locals, Martino was a gracious host, Bravo. No Cruise line queues!! Plenty of time for shopping in Taormina.

A PERFECT day with our guide, Richard !

Published on Jul, 2023

Richard from Taxi Catania NCC, provided a perfect day for our family in Sicily. By the end of the day, he seemed like one of our family. He drove us to Mt. Etna and stopped at his favorite place to eat arancini along the way. His expert driving skills made us feel safe and his sense of humor and willingness to share his experiences kept us entertained. He also took us to Castelmola and Taormina, which are beautiful beyond description. If we are lucky enough to return to Sicily one day, Richard will be our guide of choice. His love for Sicily was evident and he taught us so much about this enchanting place. We enjoyed the Granita in Castelmola, the Pasta Alla Norma in Taormina and we would not have found any of these culinary delights with Richard. Grazie Mille Richard for a day that we will never forget. You are the BEST :)

The Top of Sicily

Published on Oct, 2022

We had a very nice trip with our drver, Joseph. He took us to mt Etna and explained some of history of the recent eruptions. He also drove us to Taormina and Castelmora. Spectacular views

Best day of our cruze! Sicile, we will be back!

Published on Aug, 2019

This tour is the best one for sure! The ETNA is an absolute must see and we fell in love with Castelmola... Our guide, Armando, was very helpful, answered all our question about the culture, the history of Sicile and made everything possible to please us. Even found a nice typical italian restaurant for us for lunch. I highly recommend this tour and the driver also!
