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

    Once you disembark from the ship, I will wait for you at the cruise terminal, at the gate 5 exit of the port of Messina where I will be there waiting for you with a sign with your name and surname. From here we will begin our journey to Savoca, which will last approximately 1 hour by car.

    1 hour

  • Bar Vitelli

    We will stop in the art city of Savoca where we can visit the Vitelli bar, where it will be possible to taste a typical Sicilian granita. Another stop on our tour will be the church of "Santa Maria in cielo Assunta" which we also find in some excerpts of the film such as that of the wedding between Michael Corleone and Apollonia.

    1 hour

  • Castelmola

    Once you arrive in Castelmola you can admire one of the most beautiful villages in Italy and taste the almond wine in the very famous Bar Turrisi known for the presence of phallic shapes used as decorations. These symbols are not to be designated as vulgar, but as a symbol of fertility, prosperity and freedom according to the ideas of Greek culture. Alex will also take you to taste some delicious Sicilian cannoli, included in the price of this tour, from our friend Stefania Pitittitti.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Taormina

    The last stop of our tour will be Taormina. We will arrive at Piazza San Pancrazio, where travelers will make their tour and will be able to visit the characteristic streets of Corso Umberto, admire the beautiful landscapes and go to the Greek-Roman theater of Taormina (the cost of the entrance ticket is excluded from the price of the tour) .

    2 hours

A wonderful day in Taormina, Castelmola and Messina

Published on Nov, 2024

Alessandro and Asena were terrific! We really enjoyed our day with them! They brought us round to see all the lovely sites and views. They were very knowledgeable of the area. Thought our day they took us to experience the local food at different eateries. We tried delicious cannolis, outstanding pizza and some delicious almond wine. I highly recommend booking with them! We had a wonderful day. Our family decided not to go to Savoca because we wanted to enjoy the others areas for a longer period of time. Asena and Alessandro were perfectly fine and flexible with our change in itinerary. We traveled with family no teens, there were 4 of us.

This is a must do tour!!!!!

Fantastic time exploring Savoca, Castlemola and Taormina!! Paria and Alberto were wonderful guides tailoring the day to accommodate everything we wanted to see and do. From timing each stop to avoid the crowds to the extras like canollis and almond wine, we couldn’t have asked for a better day!!

Absolutely Amazing!!!

Published on Nov, 2024

Paria and Alberto were an amazing guide team for our day in Sicily!! They were so warm and welcoming that we felt like we were touring with family!! Every stop was perfectly timed to beat the crowds, giving us more time to enjoy the surroundings and take great photos. We loved the history, myths, stories and anecdotes they shared as we made our way through the beautiful towns of Savoca, Castelmola and Taormina. This tour is highly recommended and requesting Paria and Alberto as your guides is a must!

Exceeded our Expectations!

We had 10 people in our group and had a beautiful van that had a great configuration for so many people. The sights, the stops all amazing. Enjoyed an amazing lunch (not included) atop of a mountain. Highly recommend this tour.

This private tour was amazing!!! Alex and Diamond were superb and a dynamic duo of being transportation and guide. Alex sang authentic Italian songs to us during our ride and both made sure we were comfortable the entire way. The history that Diamond provided was perfect. And the views!!! This was much better than large groups and they were personal photographers. We also had a mini food tour. Do not hesitate to book.
