My tour guide Giovanni was by far one of the best tour guides I have had on any guided tour I have taken. He was so full of life and love for the history of Taormina and Catelmola. He made the trip extra special for all of us. He really made us feel like a family as she called us all day! I am so happy I decided to take the tour with Catania tour and got a chance to meet Giovanni while he showed us the true beauty and history of Taormina

First off, I booked this tour December 30th at about 8:30pm via Viator fir Dec 31st tour. The operator emailed me right away to clarify things that made the tour go smoothly. When we arrived in Catania at 5:40 early in the morning, our driver Danilo was was waiting for us already. We had an early start, meaning our time was not wasted at all. When we reached in Taormina, I asked Danilo to check if we can add done of the Godfather places to check and he called his boss right away and was confirmed we can do it. I was happy and appreciated the flexibility. We were able to check the places that I wanted to go. Just a reminder, our driver is not a licensed tourist guide but he tells us where to go and drop us off and pick us up like “door to door”. I would suggest to google the best places to visit and tell the driver what you most like to visit and read all about it. You will appreciate more if you know the story behind that particular area. This tour works perfectly for us. Thank you Danilo for doing above and beyond of what you are doing. Cheers!

My family has been coming to Sicily regularly for nearly a decade and Calo is far and away the most personable chauffeur who has driven us there. His enthusiasm, gift for languages and depth of knowledge of the Island means a journey with Calo is far more than a trip from A to B. We fully intend to engage him on our return. The Calo experience surpasses all others, so no one else would do!

A great day out started by being collected by our guide Roberto, taken for breakfast and collected lunch and any equipment required. On to the cable car and then the hike up the mountain. One French and one English speaking guide with our group of ten, who were so knowledgeable passing on so much information. An amazing day and thank you.
