We had a great day trip with Mariarita to Savoca and Taormina. We have taken both the small group and private versions of this tour and loved them both. Savoca and Taormina are gorgeous!

Great day out in Taormina then on the Sevonna. Katiyana, our guide, knew everything...I mean EVERYTHING about the Godfather movie . Great local knowledge too. Driver Jacamo was superb on the tight roads leading up to the Bar Vitalli. This is a great trip for Godfather fans. I`ve never seen the movie but now I will watch with great interest.
