Experience a full-day journey from Taormina to Messina that reveals the city’s deep bond with the sea, its dramatic landscapes, and its resilient history. From the charming coastal villages of Ganzirri and Torre Faro to the lakes that host migratory birds, the tour follows the edge of the Strait of Messina, reaching Capo Peloro where Sicily feels close enough to touch Calabria. Scenic drives, seaside walks, and panoramic viewpoints create a rich introduction to this fascinating corner of the island.
Discover Messina’s cultural heart through its historic center, iconic Cathedral, and the world-famous astronomical clock, alongside optional experiences that enrich your day. You may explore masterpieces by Caravaggio and Antonello da Messina at the Regional Museum, hike the peaceful Peloritani Mountains with breathtaking views, or join a hands-on Sicilian cooking class to learn authentic recipes. Each option offers a different perspective on Messina, blending art, nature, and gastronomy into one memorable Sicilian experience.

Excellent tour, prompt in response with clarity, highly recommended if you're on a Cruise trip and looking to get a wonderful tour of Sicily and surroundings. Irina who takes care of bookings is excellent to deal with. Davide is a great driver and tourist guide.

My three-day tour was amazing. Eduardo was the best guide I could have hoped for - friendly, helpful, informative and just general good company. I think I would have fallen in love with Sicily no matter what, but this tour made it an all-but-perfect experience.
Maria
Thank you Eduardo and Davide for a wonderful day excursion from Taormina to Noto, Ortigia and Malfamemi. Very attentive and punctual. Also very patient since our group of 11 included 4 children. We stopped in Malfamemi for lunch at Nassa Trattoria. Thank you Irina for recommendation and reserving for us. It was delicious!! We will definitely recommend and reach out to you on future Sicily excursions.

Such an incredible experience! Davide was so knowledgeable in not only The Godfather, but Sicily, which was arguably more interesting at times! To know the secrets of the island and the tales of the old were invaluable to our time there. Highly recommend! Beautiful places to visit, and you feel a sense of connection with this side of Sicily that you may not without doing a tour like this.

Highly recommend company, service excellent, communication with office was easy and helpful. Our guide Davide was very knowledgeable about places and the God Father movie . It was the best excursion in our 9 days of cruise. We will come back to experience snowboard on Etna . Thank you.
