it is a worth trip with beautiful view...although I think it should be longer-so one has a whole day experience....longer free time needed-specially due to long cues by Taormina Theatre Our tour guide Salvatore was really nice and helpful- highly recommended

With my 11 month old baby and my nonna , our driver picked us up at our hotel . Was helpful and understood everything that comes with baby traveling lol. We were 6 guests - anything we asked we got answered. Spoke great English & Italian. He was able to share to everyone what we were all asking. We had a beautiful time at Isola Bella ( bring saddles or shoes . There is no sand but beautiful rock beach. Catelmola was small but my favorite with all the ins and outs- up few stairs and down inside the town. Gives you a wonderful piece of culture. Taomina nice too. Lots of stores so bring money to spend! Our guide knew a great stand in restaurant. We had 1.5 hours and it literally flew by. We took our time not keeping track. Recommendation : have a quick bite to eat or snack & walk straight to the Greek theater ( if you like history) then work yourself back up. People playing Italian music amazing. 5 Star Tour worth it!! Taking another a day tour with them in 2 days. Arrivederci!

Wspaniale spędzony czas na wycieczce! Przewodnik z dużą wiedzą, fajnie przekazywał nam informacje podczas trwania wycieczki. Przede wszystkim zapierające dech w piersi widoki i cudny klimat Taorminy i Castelmoli to jest coś za co warto wydać każdy pieniądz. Na pewno pozytywnie będę wspominał ten wyjazd, polecam serdecznie. Było naprawdę prześwietnie!
