Wow- what a great tour and day!

Published on Oct, 2024

A very nice private tour for my wife and I. Filippo was very communicative in booking the trip. We were so lucky to have Lillo as our driver/guide. Very friendly, very knowledgeable, and very helpful. On the drive to Taormina, we learned about Messina and the history of the island. We made a photo stop above Isola Bella on the way up. Lillo dropped us off right at the gate of the city center in Taormina and was right there waiting for us at the agreed pickup time. On the return to Messina, Lillo took us to the Duomo Cathedral and Astronomic clock, where he explained the scenes on the clock. Last stop was for cannoli. A great way to finish the day. Highly recommend this trip.

An amazing experience

An amazing, unforgettable tour with friends. Filippo and Erika far exceeded any expectations we had and the scenarios we have seen made it all even better. Filippo is an excellent driver and Erika was really knowledgeable and thoughtful about everything we needed. The van was such a luxury, comfortable and clean. There are not enough words to describe!! Please put Sicily on your bucket list and book a tour with them, you won’t be disappointed!

Excellent Experience!!

We had a fabulous experience!! Erica and Filippo were so friendly and accommodating. Eric shared so much info on the history and life in Sicily, specifically Taormina and Messina. We had originally scheduled one of their private preplanned tours, but decided to make some changes as we went along and they didn’t skip a beat. They even arranged for a private cannoli tasting and made some extra stops in Messina. I highly recommend this team for their professionalism and hospitality. They are truly fabulous ambassadors of their homeland!

Tour of Taormina from Messina with Filippo

Published on Oct, 2022

Our group of three had a wonderful day in Taormina and Messina with our charming tour guide, Filippo. He is a great driver using his spotless van, and he went above and beyond to ensure that we had free time in Taormina and Messina to enjoy and the sights in these lovely towns. Filippo speaks excellent English, and he is an experienced and professional guide. He is knowledgeable about the history and important sights that he recommended we visit. We highly recommend this tour and give Filippo a big thumbs up!

Luxury 8-seater minivan at standard cab rates!

Published on Apr, 2022

We enjoyed a fantastic ride with Filippo in Sicily during our cruise off shore stop. He drove us to the most beautiful sights, gave us as much time as we needed to visit Taormina, and even took us to some authentic local shops where to buy the real local stuff! I can only recommend Filippo's service 100%: spotless comfortable minivan, same price than other cab drivers were offering us upon getting off at the port.... So glad I had booked that with him in advance! And another plus, he speaks perfect Spanish as his married to a Colombian!
