Highly recommend this tour as a great way to get to and from Taormina!
Christine_B, May 2024
This was a transfer only service that worked well and got us back to the cruise on time! The meeting point is a short walk from the port. Although the tour we booked said “This tour/activity will have a maximum of 15 travelers” we ended up on a much larger bus. It didn’t matter to us as it was comfortable, clean, and efficient. Taormina, and the Greek Theatre, are not to be missed! Highly recommend this tour as a great way to get there.
Perfect transfer if traveling from a cruise ship.
Stella_L, Sep 2023
The transfer from Messina to Taormina was perfect. The drive was picturesque and there was enough time to explore the beautiful town. All was done on time and making it back to the cruise port on schedule.
Loved
Wendy_D, Sep 2023
Loved the shopping… The transfer was in a very nice van! And the price was very reasonable. The times coincided with the cruise schedule so we had no need to worry about getting back to the port on time
Not bad to improve

Ride from A to B
Jenny_N, Jul 2022
Just a transfer from A to B. The instructions where ok from The organizers but a little bit more information about the rout and the destination would be nice and come in handy. It was just a transport

Beautiful Taormina
glenysthatcher, Sep 2019
Town of Taormina is gorgeous and well worth visiting. Guide tried to have us return to the bus at 1.45pm rather than 2.30 as was scheduled. They backed down after everyone objected so we had our full time. Blue line tour was a waste of time. 15 min long and we couldn't see anything seated on left side of bus therefore the commentary meant nothing either. We wondeed if that part of the tour had been shortened as we still arrived back at our final destination at 3.30 instead of 4.30.
Taormina worth a visit but tour was not as booked
Caroline_C, Jul 2019
We took this tour to get a transport to taormina, probably not enough people booked it so instead of a bus we got there with a taxi which was fine and taxi driver was nice. However, after we were supposed to do a sigthseing by bus in messine. Taxi picked us up at taormina on time and brought us back to mssine but instead of visiting messine with the hop on hop off bus, the taxi driver took us around. He was nice but did not speak much english and no french so we did not get the explications like we would have on a bus and the view was not as good as on a bus.. so we were dispointed of that portion as this is not what we had booked so w did not really visit messine much, we went back to our cruise ship..

Hi! Thank you for you feedback! It will surely help us improving our services!
good experience overall and value for money
Xiaoping_J, Jul 2019
Our cruise ported at 12:00 so we took the afternoon excursion. We were put on a open top red bus for a short city sightseeing in Messina at the beginning of our trip (roughly 1hr), then we changed to a mini bus and the driver took us to Taormina. We had 2 hours exploring Taormina ourselves and the driver waited and took us back to the port. We do recommend this trip, although before you go, you need to do some homework to make sure you know where the meeting point is, as it wasn't clear in their advert or in their booking confirmation.
Trip to Taormina
Timothy_H, Jun 2019
Taormina is a great trip, it was the highlight of our Mediterranean Cruise. Beware, your ticket may not include the time to meet the bus (10 am was our time) and the location to meet them was not the easiest to figure out either. Also, we were unaware it was about an hour to Taormina from their pick-up point, but it was well worth it.
往復送迎付 は 嘘っぱち
