Reviews from guests about our tours and locals

Family holiday tour
"We were a group of 5 from 19 to mid 50’s and we all found this tour interesting and informative. Mirco was able to tell us a lot about the history of Taormina and brought this to life with old photos on his iPad. We managed to avoid the crowds by using back streets and saw some interesting buildings and heard interesting stories. A very nice introduction to our stay here."

Shari about Maria Grazia

Fantastic experience
"Our tour of Taormina with Maria Grazia was a highlight of our trip. Maria is very knowledgeable and generously shared tips and information about our special interests. It was a pleasure to be guided by Maria to locations in Taormina that we would not have found on our own. I highly recommend this experience and have already recommended this to friends who are visiting later in the year. Thank you! "

Sincere thanks Mirco
"Mirco is the secret to visiting Taormina! Passionate about history and the Sicilian culture, he guided us off the main paths and we discovered Taormina through his eyes. Just fabulous and highly recommend this visit with Mirco who was delightful. "

Asya’s passion for Taormina and Sicily
"We were 2 retired couples on an extended tour of Sicily with Taormina our next to last stop. Asya brought so many historical details to life, highlighting Taormina’s place in the multicultural multilayered experience that is Sicily. She is extremely knowledgeable, bubbly, warm and considerate- we would book with her again."
