Love how both driver and guide was very knowledge and easy going. Willing to answer question and this trip made it so much better because there wasn’t as many people.

The tour guide Sara was an amazing and knowledgeable ambassador of the region. She pointed out all the highlights along our journey to Taormina and gave us the history of the various sites. The tour was well paced with the right amount of personal time to try local food fare including the delicious arancini and cannoli. Truly amazing. The tour also included the Greek theatre and stop at Castelmola. Both were great additions. This tour was great value for money! The size of the group was a just right.

This trip was amazing the guide was so awesome and explained everything we wanted to know. She was very clear on when to meet back and she even gave us the option to free roam or follow her while she shows us things and talks about them all. She also made everybody laugh a little and feel safe also. Driver was very very good the roads are a little narrow and I was very impressed with the skills of the driver
