Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a good tour in Taramino wit Asya.\nAsya it extremely well versed in the history of Taramino. All the food stops were excellent. We had some of the best cannolis I\u2019ve ever had.\nWe had excellent gelato. The rice balls we had we both made up of tomato and pistachio.\n\nThe final stop was ours, calamari, eggplant, Parm, and a bottle of wine\n\nHe certainly got your moneys worth out of the store. She was very pleasant and did an excellent job."
"I was a bit concerned to see the loads of people coming from a cruise liner as we entered Taormina.\n\n BUT - Mirco had all the answers!\nMy group of 9 women did not encounter any of this - as he took them exploring the historic side of Taormina. He was fun, interesting and tuned into everyone. \nI will definitely invite Mirco to guide my next group."
"Our tour of Toarmina with these delightful ladies was like a tour with friends. Their warmth and friendliness was equalled by their local knowledge and passion for the town. Finishing with an aperol spritz was the perfect way to end a charming afternoon learning about Toarmina! We would highly recommend!"
"If you are coming to Taormina and do one thing, let it be this: book time with Welmoed and Marlies. From the very first second, they radiated so much warmth and joy that I felt like I was meeting girlfriends I\u2019d known my whole life. Within minutes, we were laughing, sharing stories, and I knew instantly I was in the best possible hands.\n\nBut don\u2019t mistake their friendliness for casualness\u2014these two are pros. Their knowledge of Taormina is endless: the history, the hidden symbolism carved into the architecture, the legends passed down through generations. They don\u2019t just recite facts; they make the city come alive in a way that pulls you right into its magic.\n\nWhat blew me away most was how much they care. They didn\u2019t just guide me\u2014they took care of me. They went out of their way to help with everything from booking a stunning beach club to arranging taxis to introducing me to their trusted driver. Every detail was thought of, every question answered, every worry smoothed out. Traveling can sometimes feel stressful or overwhelming\u2014Welmoed and Marlies remove all of that. They make Taormina feel like home.\n\nAnd then there\u2019s the personal side\u2014the stories about their families, the way they connect with you on a real, human level. By the end, I didn\u2019t just feel like I had seen Taormina; I felt like I had been welcomed into it.\n\nIf you want a cookie-cutter tour, look elsewhere. If you want an unforgettable experience, new friends, and the kind of memories you\u2019ll be talking about for years\u2014then do yourself the biggest favor and book Welmoed and Marlies. Honestly, I can\u2019t imagine Taormina without them "

"Our adult family of four really enjoyed touring Taormina with Mirco. His passion for Sicily, Taormina, and its history was evident, and his ability to show us around that charming town everywhere while avoiding the crowds was very appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed the beauty and tranquility of the Parco Florence Trevelyan. First rate tour! "
"My family and I had a wonderful food tour in Taormina with Christopher and his wife Barbara! They took us to their favorite places, told great stories, shared local pro tips to help us enjoy our vacation, and we're just warm, genuine people! They made our first day very welcoming and fun! Our Sicilian adventure started out perfectly. Highly recommend this tour and these locals. Thank you Christopher and Barbara!"
" Our food tour with Barbara and Chris was just perfect and a real highlight to our time in Sicily for our Anniversary\nTaormina is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been \nThe time spent felt like we were with friends as Barbara and Chris were so warm, friendly and accommodating \nWe visited some wonderful places and tried Arancino, sampled pistachio in different ways at Nova and even made our own Cannoli at a family ran Bakery \nWe had a wonderful time from start to finish and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that wants to make their trip extra special \n\nThank you Barbara & Chris!! "
"We had a great time with Asya! Smart and super sweet. We had a large group of 11 and one with food allergies and she accommodated perfectly which is hard to do but did it with ease. She engaged the whole group and taught us a lot about the city while eating amazing food along the way. Come hungry :)"
"Asya was a great guide, showing us around the town while sampling great food and drinks! The personal connections she had with the restaurants and bakeries made the tour even better - especially the cannoli magician Roberto! She was super fun, and her knowledge of Sicilian history is amazing. She had great recommendations for places to visit, restaurants to try, and overly tourist places to stay away from, Thanks Asya! "
"Our dinner with Gloria was absolutely lovely from beginning to the end. The food and drink were authentic to the region, and taste and presentation were exceptional. Our conversation with Gloria and Nino was comfortable, like being with old friends. I highly recommend this experience during your travels to Catania!"
