★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 58 reviews · 5 to 8 hours (approx.) Our pick

Your private driver collects you outside Messina cruise port and takes you to Taormina for roughly four hours of independent sightseeing. Walk Corso Umberto, visit the Greek Theatre, Cathedral, Piazza IX Aprile, and Villa Comunale, then arrange pickup in the center or at the bay. Benedetto and Giovanni are among the named drivers mentioned for this service.

“This was a perfect tour. Our driver/guide was excellent. Because the streets are so skinny you can’t get big tour busses to the area so it’s definitely better to take this tour! Great shopping and eating!”

“Johnny and Marco were wonderful guides. We had only a few brief cruise hours to spend. We saw Etna and got a comprehensive overview and a bit of a walk. When we spied an interesting food fest, they were flexible enough to accommodate our curiousity. The winery visit was delightful. Excellent pair to give you a taste of Sicily.”
