The story of Santa Lucia really touched my heart and the ceramic heads story wowww Taormina was so gorgeous and delicious Our guides Katia and Claudia were so informative and so sweet and caring. Loved meeting them. They will always be remembered and have a place in my heart ❤️

We did the Godfather Tour with Katia while on our cruise, it was wonderful from the time we met her off the boat until being dropped back off at the boat! We had handicapped people with our group and she made sure all their needs were met along with our driver Giacomo! We had super nice van so it made for a more intimate tour. Katia was super knowledgeable not only about the tour sites but Sicily and its history in general. 20 out of 10 couldn’t recommend more and 100% book another tour with her when we come back to Sicily!

We had the best experience on our Taormina boat tour to Isola bella Sicily. Our guide Pepe was very knowledgeable and shared so much more than just history and geography! He had snacks and champagne for us on the boat and at one of the restaurants in Taormina. He gave us many recommendations for places to visit when we stopped in town. Would definitely choose this tour again with Pepe!
