Tour Savoca, Castelmola, Taormina And Messina

What a fantastic tour! Andre was our guide and he was AMAZING! He knew so much about his Island and the customs, you could tell he truly enjoyed sharing his knowledge with us. A beautiful drive through the countryside up into the mountains to Castlemora, Savoca and then down to Taormina and back to Messina. He took us to an unusual restaurant for fabulous cannoli's and unique decor - loved it! If you book this tour ask for Andre and you won't be disappointed! Andre the “Dragon Rider” You Rock!!!!

Our guide, Gaetano, and driver, Alessio, were both excellent. We were able to see all we wanted and more and they got us back to our ship on time. We would definitely recommend this tour!

Salvo was our guide and did an exceptional job. He provided local history and was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited. I highly recommend and tour, especially if Salvo is your guide.

Great tour Salvatore and Andrea were great highly informative and fun to be with us for the day!!

If you want to see a little bit everything, this is the tour for you. It was so good! Salvatore our driver was so careful and prompt and informative as well and Olegsandra, or guide was so informative and easy going, we had so much fun with them. It was a just what we wanted to see everything and have time for Taormina as well. Would highly recommend this tour, there are several surprises in store they have planned as well, I won't spoil the fun, but it was a perfect day.

Wonderful experience for short day trip! Tour guide Andrea was welcoming, give historical insights into Sicily and never made us feel rushed. He showed us wonderful sights of this part of Sicily and introduced us to some unique aspect to Sicilian culture! Truly one of the best trips we have been on. Left us wanting nothing, other than to return to Sicily!

Isabela was a wonderful tour guide! She was knowledgeable, friendly, efficient, and very easy to communicate with. We loved the Cathedral and astronomical clock in Messina, a fabulous lunch at Mama Rosa’s in Taormina, everything Godfather in Savaca, ending with a stop to Turrisi in Castelmola. Highly recommend booking with Isabela!

Definitely overpriced. I paid 800$ and I think they must have given me the worst tour guide, as we were not able to understand a word she said. It was frustrating experience because we kept trying to understand as she took us around to talk about all the beautiful structures and scenery but basically impossible. She wasn’t Italian and her accent was incomprehensible. I wish I just booked the shared and saved my money. The tour guide would have been easier to understand.

This was a well organized and informative tour. Our driver, Nicola, and guide Alexandria were wonderful to work with. We saw many interesting things and were treated to cannoli, almond wine, and plenty of bottled water on our hot day. We were given time with our guide as well as time on our own. This tour was a must and we loved seeing the very different towns!

Our group of 15 had a wonderful time! Oleksandra met us at our cruise ship with a smile and was lovely throughout the tour. Our first stop was Castelmola, a quaint beautiful village high above with fantastic views. Next stop was Taormina which speaks for itself. Lastly we had lunch at Da Giovanni overlooking Isola beach. Delish! Prior to being dropped off at the ship, we saw some beautiful sights in Messina. Overall, our tour was fantastic and I highly recommend booking with Sicily Tour by Coppola.

This is the best way to see Sicily when on a cruise ship stop! The people are warm and welcoming. They modify the trip to your interests and keep you ahead of the large tour bus groups that clog up the scenery with too many people! The guide points out all the points of interest. Highly recommend taking a private tour over a big bus group!

Timely WhatsApp messages made for a very smooth meet-up, just outside the cruise port gate. During the car ride Gabri shared a lot of information with us about the history, culture, flag and foods of Sicily. Each stop on the journey was both educational and scenic. Our group thoroughly enjoyed this excursion.

We had the best time ever with Nicola, Angelica, and Alberto. The tour went perfectly, Angelica and her partner Alberto, were knowledgeable, and so much fun..we saw amazing sites, and beautiful places. I highly recommend this tour, you will not be disappointed. Kudos to Nicola’s driving and singing skills.

We absolutely loved our tour. Nicola and Andrea were wonderful. They stopped along the way for all of the scenic photo stops, had fun surprises for us along the way and went above and beyond for my friends and I. It was a wonderful day that we highly recommend. I feel that we had a great view of Sicily.

Amazing, driver l Nikola and tour guide Angelica were amazing

Best tour of my life. The joyful atmosphere created by Nicola and Angelo gave us the best time of our entire trip. They took us to Savoca and they made us feel like we were watching a scene from the Godfather. Taormina and Castelmola are amazing, they explained all the history behind what we saw. They also provided mobile hotspot for the entire tour so we were always connected. They gave us a special treat with cannoli and almond wine, in the end they took us to the Four Seasons Hotel where The White Lotus was partially shot. Perfect experience I will be back next year for sure!! Our best regards from Arizona, USA

This tour was beyond expectations. Nicola took excellent care of us and drove us to amazing places with spectacular views. We visited Savoca, Taormina and Castelmola I highly recommend this and any other tour that his company offers!! Thank you Nicola for making our visit to Messina unforgettable!

I’ve had the most amazing experience in the places we have visited, his welcoming and guidance was more than just someone touring us, felt like we were with family. I would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting and would definitely book a tour with him again!

Nicola was amazing highly recommend the tour we had a great time, highly knowledgeable tour guide, showed us the top spots around

Nicola Coppola was a very knowledgeable and entertaining driver. I highly recommend him. He was very reasonably priced.

We only had one day on Sicily and wanted to see as much as we could. This tour - with port pick up and drop off - met all of our expectations, and more!! Our driver and guide were both animated and interesting and made our visiting each location truly a wonderful experience. We recommend this tour.

Fantastic day with Nicola. There was no dull moment. Language barrier was no obstacle at all. Coppola Tours took good care of us. Nicola even treated us to cannoli and almond wine. Good experience!

Excellent tour with a great guide, Lillo, and driver. We had a group of 15. The private tour was the perfect solution for all. Highly recommend.

Excellent tour! The cities were amazing, especially the bar Vitelli, scene from the movie, The Godfather. Tamarino is exquisite!!!!

Our driver Lillo was amazing! Extremely communicative! We knew exactly where to meet him once we got off the ship and it was a very simple process! He was full of wisdom and provided lots of historical information at each stop. Always offered to take our group photos, and we truly appreciated that. If we are in Italy again, we will definitely book a private tour and request Lillo!

Outstanding Tour! Very informative, and truly a wonderful experience! Lillo was a Terrific host and guide. The driver was also very polite and knowledgeable! I recommend both of these guides 100%. Book this tour and ask for these guides, you will not be disappointed! The driver's name was Francesco!

The driver and guide were so impressive. They took care of our every need. We went to some amazing places and had some fantastic food.

WOW! What fun! Nicola Copola and his tour guide Yana did an excellent Job of showing us around Sicily and keeping us entertained. My wife and two children were driven around and given a great personal experience by the Copola team. The tour lasted a good long time and was very educational. I would highly recommend this tour!

Our guide, Yanni, from Belarus, was delightful and knowledgeable about the towns we visited. Our group of 14 enjoyed our private tour very much, and highly recommend it! Many thanks!

Great tour and flexible with stops. Great attention to our needs. Would rec to anyone traveling to Italy

We did a tour with Nicola and it was honestly one of the best days in Sicily. Everything was super well planned, and you can tell he really cares about what he does. He’s a really nice and funny person, it felt more like hanging out with a local friend than a typical tour. We visited the filming locations from The Godfather, which was so cool. Castelmola was such a cute little town, and the bar there is definitely something different, really worth seeing. Taormina was beautiful too, and Nicola even surprised us with a small souvenir and some local sweets, which was really thoughtful. Thanks again Nicola, this day will stay in our memories for a long time. Totally recommend!

We had an amazing day with Yana. The villages are so beautiful and the scenery breathtaking. I highly recommend this tour!

Our pick up was smooth and easy with great communication. We had plenty if time at each location snd tried a lot of food. The views were beautiful! I highly recommend Alexandra and Angelo!!!

I recommend this tour with NICOLA COPPOLA! The Best!!! Super nice and well informed on the city of Taormina and Messina! Loved it!

The tour guys were amazing 👏 best tour yet! We saw more in one day than we could of ever imagined, highly recommend. Picked us up on time and had us back at our cruise ship with time to spare.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Picked up at the ship and went to four wonderful sites. I would strongly recommend this tour for anyone and particularly cruisers.

The cities were beautiful. Guides were awesome! Beautiful scenery. Great communication with the tour operator.

What a marvellous day we had in Sicily with Nicola Coppola and Silvi. Nice vehicle, excellent driving, charming people. Nico is a real character, lots of fun and laughs. Delightful surprises! If you love "The Godfather" the village of Savoca is a must see.. One of the best ever private tours.

Tour was amazing! Got to see so many sights and take a lot of great photos. Plus we had time to be on our own and do what we wanted during the tour. The driver and guide were so great at making the day special for us

Amazing views, perfect weather, and great guides! Highly recommend this tour, get to experience the culture and explore Sicily at your own pace!

Wonderful tour with Nicola Coppola and guide Silvia, it was such fun. There are a few surprises which I won't spoil, and these made it truly memorable. Nice vehicle, water available, great people. We had such a great day, we'll never forget it. Grazie mille Nicole e Silvi from Diane, Doug, Ilise and Daryl.

Yana is an incredible guide and so kind. We had a great time and got to see some beautiful parts of Sicily. Even had a clear view of Mount Etna! Travel was comfortable and waters were provided. Our group of 10 had a great time.

Yana was an incredible guide! We had a wonderful time on our private tour. There were 10 of us and we were very comfortable on the tour. Beautiful views and even got to see Mt Etna without to many clouds at the top. Highly recommend this tour and ask for Yana.

Tour was great! Driver and tourguide are very helpful and informative. You can see many beautiful places in one day.. Basically it will cover everything. Recommend 100 %

Amazing!!! Can’t compliment this company enough! First the owner, Nicola, caught my mistake when I booked our group tour on the wrong day at port for our cruise by cross checking our ship information and fixed it for us. Like wow… talk about saving the day! The day of the tour we had lovely Silvia as our guide (native to the area) and she was so knowledgeable, kind, answered all our questions and took us to the most amazing destinations. Highly recommend!!! Don’t even think and just book! We were so thrilled with their service, we asked Nicola if he could set up a tour for us the following day (at a completely different port in Italy) and low and behold, he called a friend and experienced another incredible day!! Oh and don’t be surprised if Nicola pops up at your destination and requests a photo!

We opted for this tour over a cruise provided one and I have to say it was the absolute best option! Our tour guides were Nicola and Samuele and they could not have been any better! We had an absolute blast. They showed us the most beautiful views of Sicily, took us to interesting places and were so incredibly fun and personable. It was definitely the highlight of our trip! If you’re going to Sicily on a cruise or other kind of trip you definitely should book this one. Best money spent so far!

Bar Mar was personable and she took us to great places.. restaurant had an awesome view and food fabulous

What an amazing tour of Savoca, Castelmola, and Taormina!! Nicola was an excellent driver and tour guide who is now our friend. He made this a memorable experience. Our private 8 person tour was personalized to our interests. Would do again in a heartbeat! Grazie Nicola!

Wow what a duo. Nino our driver was amazing and so was Yli our guide! They were both so amazing and friendly. They showed us all around Sicily. I really enjoyed the tour and learning about Sicily. It was such a pleasure to get to know them both! All the different spots they took us to were beautiful. After the tour was over they walked us right up to our ship gate and made sure we got there safely! I highly recommend this tour.
