Would not recommend

Not worth the time or money. The tour description is deceptive. We thought it would be ancient sites/architecture but you spend the entire Taormina in a packed city with the occasional church you see from the outside. Castelmola was a cute village on a hill but the Roman ruins are not included in the tour. The tour guide gave virtually no information on ancient history, architectural knowledge, or actual knowledge of the history of the sites. Her accent was so thick it was truly hard to understand her plus you’re in a crowded city half the time with poor quality speaker/headphones that I could not hear anything she said once we arrived in Taormina. You basically pay for a ride to and from the port. You’re much better of getting a private driver or staying closer to the port.

Excellent tour. Our guide Chiani was wonderful. She had a great knowledge of the history of the area. Lunch was four courses with wine at this delightful restaurant in Taormina. Definetly recommend.

Amazing trip !

We enjoyed very much of this beautiful trip to Taormina and Castelmola, and the included lunch in this tour was absolutely fabulous. We thought the appetizer was the main course, and it surprised us with a tasty main course and the ice cream for desert. We love our two lovely lady tour guides, they are very good.
