Itinerary
The spectacle of nature that makes you terrifying and soothing at the same time. The horrid marries there with the at least: the shadows are interspersed with the slashes of light. To the visitor who walks through them it seems to cross now a Gothic nave now a mysterious cavern.
Guy de Maupassant in "the wandering life" (1885) wrote "If someone were to spend just one day in Sicily and asked me what to see, I would answer without hesitation: Taormina!
Upon returning to Messina, we will take a short tour of the city of Messina

Ciccio is an excellent driver and give us an information on the places. He is very patient and flexible on schedule for our senior group which slower than regular tourist groups. He explained very clearly. He is very helpful with recommendations on local foods and where to go for shopping. We are happy with him. Thanks Jamie
Thanks to all of you, I'll be waiting for you in Sicily, your friend Ciccio.
We had such an amazing experience with our driver Ciccio from Messina to Taormina that we contacted him again this year! He had accompanied us last year and, despite the language barrier, we were able to communicate easily thanks to the Google Translate voice translator. At the end of the trip, we felt like friends. I still remember when she proudly showed us the ultrasound of her baby on the way: such a special moment that made that experience unforgettable. This year’s trip was just as wonderful, if not more. Ciccio started our journey by playing two songs: one of which I had shared in Italian during our last visit, followed by the Hawaiian version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” by IZ. We're from Hawaii, so that thoughtful gesture really touched our hearts. On the way, he pointed out wonderful places, stopped at viewpoints to take pictures and gave us great restaurant recommendations. We exchanged a few words about her newborn — she even shared some adorable photos — and it was like reconnecting with an old friend. Ciccio is kind, professional and sincerely caring. We can only highly recommend it: if you travel from Messina to Taormina, ask for Ciccio di Pellegrino Services — it will make your trip unforgettable! Thank you, Fatty — we hope to see you again next year! 🌺
Grazie a voi , vi aspetto. Vostro amico Ciccio
We arranged to be picked up in Taormina Harbor for a shore excursion to the extraordinary Alcantara Gorge and then Taormina. We were fortunate to have Gianfranco as our wonderful driver and guide. He was lovely and met us with traditional Sicilian cookies, and later gifted us a medley of the local citrus. He drove very safely and surprised us by climbing up on a wall to get the best group photo of us overlooking Isola Bella. Highly recommend this outstanding driver and agency.
It was a pleasure to be your driver. You're a wonderful family. I look forward to seeing you in Sicily. Gianfranco
