Taormina and Castelmola Private Tour from Messina Port
Description
Meet your private driver right at the port of Messina and begin a scenic journey south along the coast toward the enchanting hilltop town of Taormina. Upon arrival, spend the morning exploring on your own its charming cobblestone streets, elegant boutiques, and stunning views of Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea. Don’t miss a visit to the ancient Greek Theatre, one of Sicily’s most iconic landmarks. Around lunchtime, enjoy a leisurely meal at a traditional trattoria with a terrace overlooking the sea, savoring local specialties like pasta alla norma and fresh seafood. After lunch, your driver will take you further uphill to the picturesque village of Castelmola, perched even higher above Taormina, where you can wander quiet lanes, sip a glass of almond wine, and take in breathtaking panoramic views. You'll have time to relax, explore at your own pace, and soak in the Sicilian charm before your return drive to Messina in the late afternoon.

We Loved our trip with Sonia. She took care of all of our needs. Communication was great and we loved going both to Castelmola and Taormina. We would highly recommend this tour.
It was an amazing day and our absolutely favorite excursion. Sonia was wonderful: she developed the agenda that fit the interests of our family and made our day special. Sonia is knowledgeable, personable, kind and fun. Highly recommended!
Dear Customer , Thanks for your time with us
What a beautiful day touring Messina,Taormina and Castelmola with Filippo and Gao. Gao was so knowledgeable about the towns we visited explaining the history, architecture and stories of the region. She showed us such interesting places. Filippo was so kind to allow us to spend the amount of time we desired at each location whether to shop, have lunch or just browse. The air conditioned van is so comfortable and has great visibility to see the amazing landscape views. This is a day we will always remember, and hopefully we will return to visit and will definitely book with them again.

Wonderful place Taormina. The Greek-Roman theatre just stunning. The spectacular views, both from Taormina and Castelmola. Filippo great, lovely. Very attentive and friendly. Highly recommended the tour and Filippo as a guide.
Our excellent excursion was completed in the best way thanks to the excellent guide, guide, very friendly Erika. Erika thank you all or Greek company from the heart!
We had a lovely outing with Erika and Filippo. Erika generously shared her local knowledge and great insights that would not have been available to us unless with a guide - she was very accommodating. Filippo initial communication was prompt and he was a great safe driver and very friendly. Definitely recommend :)
Taormina is beautiful, but having a private car with a local guide made all the difference. We learned so many interesting stories about local legends and culture, the old streets, and even got tips for the best gelato. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
