100% recommended tour

We did the family tour from Messina Cruise Port. Our guide Ciccio took us to different points of Messina, Savoca and Taormina with spectacular views and we knew many interesting facts about these places. We had time to have lunch at a local restaurant and was watching over us at all times. 100% recommended tour!

Savoca, Taormina tour

Ciccio was very good. We had a lot of fun and he let us go around and do our own thing in Taormina. Took us to the catacombs in Savoca and ended the day with a traditional Italian lunch. Thank you Ciccio for the almond wine and cookies. Highly recommend

Unforgettable Family Tour with Ciccio!

We had an absolutely amazing day with Pellegrino Services! Our whole family joined — from our 3-year-old to his grandparents — and it was the perfect experience for everyone. Our driver, Ciccio, was truly what made the day so special. He was incredibly friendly, thoughtful, and considerate, and he went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable and included. Ciccio tailored the tour perfectly to what we wanted to do and shared so much fascinating knowledge about Sicily’s history, culture, and hidden gems. His warmth and genuine personality made the day feel authentic and personal, not just like a typical tour. We couldn’t recommend Pellegrino Services — and especially Ciccio — highly enough. It was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Sicily!
