Michael was a great navigator. He showed us Sicily! We enjoyed seeing Taormina, Castelmola, Catania and the countryside. He provided great commentary on the areas and offered suggestions on what to make sure to see.

Review of Messina to Taormina & Castelmola
Drod35, Nov 2019
Overall the tour was very good. We felt a bit rushed at Castelmola and it seemed like we could have spent a bit more time there as we did get back to our pick up point ahead of schedule.
Response from Host, Nov 2019
Dear Drod35, thank you very much for your feedback. Kind regards.
Wonderful

Our guide Michale (Michael) was very informative and gave us all a very good overview of Sicily. He also had a good sense of humour. We visited a number of interesting places and there was plenty of time to explore the towns and villages. Our guide was also a very good driver and this is important as not a lot of road rules apply in Sicily.. I strongly recommend this tour

This was brilliant! Our guide...Michele....was interesting, friendly and entertaining. He was there to pick us up from the port when the ship docked and was very flexible in how long we could stay at places, which made for an excellent personalized trip. Taormina was gorgeous and Michele even took us for a quick drive past some of Catania's main sights at the end of the trip.

This was an amazing trip. Taormina was a lovely town. There were spectacular view of Mount Etna. Castelmola has a very interesting pub where we sampled almond wine. Our driver was fantastic Michael. Would definitely do this again.
