Overview

A tour with Alessandro Booking Sicily Tours can be special for several reasons, especially if the focus is on the quality of the experience and the authenticity of the explorations. Here are some elements that could make a tour with him unique: 1. In-depth knowledge of Sicilian History and Culture Alessandro could have a thorough knowledge of Sicilian history, art and culture, offering participants an authentic immersion in local tradition. This makes the tour not only a visual experience, but also a cultural one, with little-known historical details and tales enriching the visit. 2. Authentic and Local Experiences One aspect that could distinguish Alessandro’s tour is access to authentic experiences that are often not included in mass tours. This could mean visits to small villages, tastings of local products such as cannoli and almond wine.

Itinerary

  • Messina

    The trip will be a fantastic experience. We will travel approximately 45 minutes on the motorway from Messina to Taormina.

    45 minutes

  • Castelmola

    Once you arrive in Castelmola you can admire one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, taste the almond wine of the famous Bar Turrisi. The characteristic of the bar is the presence of phallic shapes used as decoration. These shapes are not to be designated as a symbol of vulgarity, but as a symbol of fertility, prosperity and freedom according to Greek culture. Plus Alex will take you to taste some delicious Sicilian cannoli from the legendary Stefania Pittitti.

    1 hour

  • Taormina

    The last stop of our Tour will be Taormina where we will spend about 3 hours. It will be possible to admire the beautiful views and the characteristic Greek-Roman Amphitheater (the cost of entry to the theater is not included in the price). We will also be able to admire the historic center and the characteristic Corso Umberto. I will take you to admire the beautiful beautiful island from the famous balcony of Taormina, from which it will be possible to take photos that will leave you with a unique memory of the place. Once this is finished, we will return to Messina via the motorway for a duration of approximately 45 minutes by car.

    3 hours

  • Messina

    After the stop in Taormina we will return to the ship at the starting meeting point.

The most incredible private tour experience

Published on Jan, 2025

This entire tour was incredible! They found us as soon as we stepped off the boat. The van was huge and brand new with plenty of room for all of us to relax. They personalized our tour and took us everywhere we wanted to go, making navigating such a beautiful town fun and stress free. They even took us to lunch at a restaurant on a cliff overlooking the Med. truly the best experience.

Great overall experience

Published on Oct, 2024

We were a family of 9 and they arranged a large and really nice van so we could travel together and comfortably so. They provided a driver and a tour guide so the guide could fully focus on the group and the logistics were perfect. They made great effort to accommodate our requests such as rescheduling by an hour on short notice and recommending a perfect lunch restaurant non touristy in Taormina. I highly recommend this company and tour.

Excellent day in Sicily!

Published on Oct, 2024

Alessandro and Asana were amazing! Not only did they show us the highlights of Taormina and Castelmola they made us feel like family. Alessandro was in contact with us 2 days before our tour date on whatsapp and it was so easy to find him at the port in Messina. They both interacted with us the entire time and Alessandro even sang for us :). We had an excellent day!!! I highly recommend this tour with Alessandro and Asana!!!

10/10, recommend to all

Published on Oct, 2024

Absolutely wonderful

Published on Oct, 2024

Alex and the guide were absolutely wonderful. Took us where we wanted to go took us to some wonderful places the guide stayed with us and was very knowledgeable. When we went to another stop, she asked us if we wanted to go on our own or she could stay with us and we took the option of staying on our own and we contacted her when we were ready to go to the next area.
