Amazing!!!!

We had the most amazing day with Andrea who took us to Taormina, Castemola, and Isola Bella. He was a very safe driver along the windy roads of Sicily and brought a positive energy to the day! Andrea was patient, kind, knowledgeable and did all he could to make our day memorable. We could not asked for more exploring this beautiful place. Booking with Angelo was seamless- he was responsive and easy to work with! If you are thinking of booking a tour- do it!

I would do it a thousand more times

Angelo is an exceptional person! We took a beautiful tour visiting Castelmola, Taormina, and Messina, which allowed us to discover the beautiful Sicily and savor the local specialties, including cannoli and granita, among others! His tour is a must, especially if you are reaching Sicily as cruise passengers.
