Taormina explore with Mirco
"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."
"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!"
"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! "
"Maria was friendly timely and informative. We learned so much from her. Would definitely recommend and would use her for other trips. "

A Fine Introduction to Taormina
"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 is awesome!
"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!"
"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! "

"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. "
