From Messina: Private Tour Of Savoca, Taormina And Castelmola

What a wonderful tour despite a rainy day. Fabrizio our guide was excellent - so very friendly and informative! I would highly recommend this 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!

Marisa and Fulvio, our guide and driver were phenomenal. Marisa was extremely knowledgable and shared so much information about each of the places we visited as well as the history of Sicily over many years. She was very bubbly and had a great sense of humour. We were treated to local wine and a cannolo during our visit to Castlemola. She brought Sicily to life for us, a truly special trip we will never forget. We would highly recommend this trip. We were picked up and dropped off at our cruise ship and well looked after throughout the day. Communication prior and during the trip was excellent.

We had an absolutely delightful 10/10 day with the wonderful Marisa! She was an excellent guide on all locations, offering us insight into the people, food, culture, language and sites of Sicily! Our group loved her casual style and laid-back approach as we navigated all the areas, yet left us time to shop, grab a drink, and fellowship together. WE APPRECIATE YOU MARISA! Great job!

Thank you so much to our amazing guide Fabrizio! We had an absolutely fantastic experience and loved every minute of our tour. I had never booked private tours prior to this vacation, so I was pleasantly surprised with the wonderful communication we had with our guide prior to the tour. Fabrizio was warm, welcoming and professional. His English is good and he is knowledgeable of the area and history of the region. The tour itself was completely private for just my husband and i. We felt it was good value for money being a full day tour. We visited Savoca, Castelmola & Taormina as well as the town centre of Messina. The tour and organisation. Of the day was well thought out and a good mix of visiting all of the iconic and beautiful places as well as a little free time to explore. Fabrizio’s hospitality made this tour extra special avid I would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Messina

You cover a lot of ground in this tour. Coming into Messina you will have about a 1 hour drive to Savoca.

Very informative. Martina was AWESOME!!! She was very organized and keep us well informed during the entire tour. 5⭐️.

Fabrizio was the best tour guide I have ever had and I have been doing this a very long time! He went over and above the tour that was supposed to be! He was so informative and so willing to show us everything about the Messina area in Sicily! I would recommend him again and again ! He was so informative and willing to show us anything we wanted to see! I would recommend him over and over again!!!

Our tour with Fabrizio was the best tour we’ve ever had. He tailored it to our family and gave local advice that was priceless. He took us to Savoca, Taormina, and Castlemola. He showed us secret spots that most tours wouldn’t know about. We saw Catacombs, local churches, lookout points, with amazing views, and ruins. He recommended the best local restaurant and snacks. He made sure to take the scenic route and explain all of the local areas, legends and history. At the end, he bought us almond wine and cannolis. It was an amazing experience that our family will never forget 💕

The driver and guide met us right at the port. Communication as awesome. Our tour guide, Marissa, was AMAZING!!! She was fun, funny, accommodating, well spoken and an all-around perfect guide. Fulvio met us at each destination and was also a great guy. I VERY HIGHLY recommend this tour. The towns we visited were spectacular. My mother had mobility issues and they were even accommodating to those needs. Great tour!!

Fulvio and Aurora were our guides on this private tour for 7 of us. Every one of us enjoyed it very much. Both Fulvio and Aurora took the best care and explained things very well. The sites were amazing and with their expert guidance we were able to see everything we wanted to see. Fulvio is a precise driver and also full of knowledge with the best manner. Aurora was a delight to each one of us, personalizing information to our taste. Wish we had more time because we didn’t want it to end!!! Highly recommended 😀👍🏻‼️

Aurora and Favilio were great! They picked us up at the cruise port and took us to all the best spots to see. Great information about the sites & the history. Suggested a great place for a meal and even treated us to a special drink and a delicious cannoli! 5/5 stars!!! Thanks again!! :)

Fulvio is excellent and very friendly!!! Very very profesional! 100% recommend! All the places that we visit were espectacular. Thanks!!

We had a driver and a guide which allowed the driver to let us out of the vehicle and the guy that could start our tour telling us about the city while he went and park the car into mountain town.. We went to two mountain top towns the driving had a lot of switchback turns that was incredible. Recommendations would include the church where there are mummies, not in the Egyptian style, but through essential oils. It’s quite interesting to see the clothing, shoes, and dress from 300 to 500 years ago. The mountain top towns offer magnificent vistas towards the sea. The people were quite accommodating and outgoing to talk to us. I would recommend going to those towns early in the morning before all the tourist arrive. It was interesting to see the village at 9 AM and its natural state. When we left several hours later, the population had expanded significantly. Taormina was much different than the two mountain top Villas, this town was closer to the sea, with a unique feel, much high-end shopping, local product, some excellent restaurants, and I’m sure some not excellent restaurants. Aurora was our tour guide, she was excellent, extremely knowledgeable about each town and the historical significance. Our driver was Elvis, he was very adept at finding locations to drop us off in the middle of all the sights and sounds.

I wasn't fortunate to have made the trip due to flights delays in the US. But, Fulvio was a great sport and took our friends for a fabulous trip around town. He even made me jealous with all the pictures, the wine, the canoli etc...we missed out but was there in spirit. Thanks, Fulvio
