Taormina And Castelmola Tour

This was more of a transport than a tour which actually would’ve been fine.m if they just advertise it that way. I would then give it 3-4 stars. The car was a bit old and AC didn’t seem to be able to keep up with the weather. The driver was getting impatient and angry with others on the road which seems to be typical for this part of Sicily. The 2 places are still worth visiting, and I didn’t find a cheaper price so I’d still recommend it. I would suggest that even for Castlemola you should just tell the driver that you’ll explore on your own.

Fantastic day with Giuseppe. Here was extremely was so knowledgeable & knew exact amount of time to spend in each location We were amazed at the scenery & history with each location that Giuseppe was able to elaborate on.

The scenery, Castellon, Taormina, Isola Bella are stunning. Had a great day exploring the villages, the "special bar" and seeing Mnt Etna.

The operator went to the wrong port for our cruise ship. I had emailed them in advance the correct location. After calling Viator for assistance the driver and interpreter arrived about an hour after the promised time. After a short time we discovered this was transport only to our destination. The Viator web site advertised it is a “Tour” but I would not call simple transport a tour. The driver and interpreter were good at what they did but from the website I expected more.

Good smooth driving by Giovanni. Very responsive. Only very minor downside was the tour description said there would be water, but we didn't get any.

Such a great use of a day off our cruise ship. Our driver was number accommodating, organized, and on time. Thank you!

Our guide Guseppe was very informative and helpful We had a great impression from beauty of Castelmole and Taormina

One thing you should know, is this is not a guided tour. However, it was still AMAZING! Guissipe {I hope I'm spelling that correctly} was fantastic and I really felt I was able to fully enjoy myself without feeling rushed at all. He took me to many key points, I enjoyed this very much!

Richard was our driver and he was caring, concerned about us, and directed us to places to see. He made the experience special.

It was not a tour at all but an expensive taxi service. We were dropped off at Castemola pointed in two directions; to the right is Castemola and to the left Taormina. Taormina was down below and we spent most of our time wandering around Castemola. No tour guide, no stories about Castemola nor Taormina. We finally were dropped off in Taormina and again spent time walking On my way our own, but no tour.

First off, I booked this tour December 30th at about 8:30pm via Viator fir Dec 31st tour. The operator emailed me right away to clarify things that made the tour go smoothly. When we arrived in Catania at 5:40 early in the morning, our driver Danilo was was waiting for us already. We had an early start, meaning our time was not wasted at all. When we reached in Taormina, I asked Danilo to check if we can add done of the Godfather places to check and he called his boss right away and was confirmed we can do it. I was happy and appreciated the flexibility. We were able to check the places that I wanted to go. Just a reminder, our driver is not a licensed tourist guide but he tells us where to go and drop us off and pick us up like “door to door”. I would suggest to google the best places to visit and tell the driver what you most like to visit and read all about it. You will appreciate more if you know the story behind that particular area. This tour works perfectly for us. Thank you Danilo for doing above and beyond of what you are doing. Cheers!

Armando did a great job of getting us up and down the narrow streets and sharing life in Sicily as well as historic sites. Taormina is a nice little town with a Roman amphitheater and plenty of tourist shops and cafes. Castlemole had a nice view, but not really much else up there to do.

We had a wonderful driver named Armando!! Best driver...even in a crazy downpour. Took us where we wanted to go and explained so much along the way as well. Gave us the time we wanted and never rushed us.. wanted us to enjoy the day....and we did! I recommend him highly and had a beautiful day in Sicily!,

Our tour of Taormina and Castelmola took our breath away. Our driver/guide Alex was wonderful. He got us to sights along the way and gave us great recommendations on where to go when we were on our own in both towns and also had a bonus stop in Messina. I would highly recomend this small group private tour.

On time, well presented, excellent vehicle. Driver explained while driving. Not a walking guided tour. Loved Castelmola the best. Arrive there first so not crowded. Views are the best. Taormina of course busy. If you want to go into Theater plan for possible long lines to purchase tickets. Allow time for the leisure walk through the town and viewing time in the theater. 1 1/2 -2 hrs total. Driver also took us for a driving tour through Catania. A nice bonus.

An excellent private shore excursion to Taormina and Castelmola. We are very limited in our walking ability and so the tour was tailored to our particular needs. Driver was excellent and could not have been more helpful, because we did not do much walking he was able to include more sights. Our driver was very considerate of our needs and what we wanted to do and was a delight to spend time with. If we find ourselves once again in Catania we would definitely want to hire this company again. Car was a Mercedes sedan, driver spoke very good English. Would not hesitate to advise anyone looking for a great tour to contact this company.-

Sehr netter Fahrer (Riccardo), schöne Route, viele gute, nützliche Tipps, schöne Stops, absolut empfehlenswert.
