Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Delightful young man, lovely humour. Meeting place easily explained, and Mirco early. Mirco took us thru quiet hidden treasures Very much appreciated, away from chaotic tourists.. Historical knowledge and explanations greatly appreciated."
"We really enjoyed the tour. Maria was a wonderful host and Guide. She showed us many interesting hidden germs in town. We highly recommend her."
"Mirco sprach sehr gut Deutsch und zeigte uns tolle Plätze und Orte weitab von den vielen Touristen. Er erzählte uns viele spannende und historisch fundierte Geschichten, die 3 Stunden verflogen fast zu schnell. "
"Asya met us at Porta Messina on a rainy day. The weather did not deter her enthusiasm or love of Taormina.. She walked everywhere with us and sought shelter wherever possible. Her main objective was for us to enjoy it tour and she succeeded! Very knowledgeable, super pleasant and cognizant of our needs and comfort. We had two children in our group and she pivoted to keep them happy. Never thought I would enjoy a rainy tour. Thoroughly enjoyed our time with Asya and would recommend her!"

"Maria was friendly timely and informative. We learned so much from her. Would definitely recommend and would use her for other trips. "
"I was a bit concerned to see the loads of people coming from a cruise liner as we entered Taormina. BUT - Mirco had all the answers! My 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. I will definitely invite Mirco to guide my next group."
"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! "
"Mirco is an extremely knowkedgeable and friendly guide who did a great job introducing us to Taormina. We wound our way through the back streets avoiding the heavy tourist main thruways but never missing an important or interesting spot. Mirco's advice proved spot on throughout the rest of our visit."
"Mirco was an excellent guide and gave us a fantastic local tour of the VERY touristy town of Taormina. We saw sights and learned about thr history of the town that we wouldn't have normally seen on our own. It feels like we got a perspective of the city that tourists do not normally get to see or learn about. Mirco was so kind and flexible with us as well. We would highly recommend taking a tour with Mirco anytime!"
"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."
