Fantastic Sicily Tour - Our family of six, including one teenager and three young adults, recently toured with The Best Private Tour Sicily. Sonia was our tour guide and Filippo was our driver. We toured Savoca, Castelmola, and Taormina. They also provided an excellent recommendation at a family-run restaurant in Taormina that we all loved. The tour was excellent, interesting, and saw beautiful scenery! Sonia and Filippo were great and highly recommend using them while in Sicily! This was one of our favorite tours.

Marvellous Messina - We can’t thank this company enough. Erika was an outstanding tour guide, knowledgeable, personable, and very clear with her communication. We ticked all the boxes we wanted to, she allowed for some flexibility, and we were back at the ship at a very comfortable time despite the relatively short port stop. Wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sicily Best tour again. Thank you from Daniel, family, and friends.

Fantastic Tour, Highly Recommended - Easy to see why they get such great reviews. The entire experience was excellent from beginning to end. Our guide was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the history of the region. Our port call was a little short, but we made the absolute most of the time we had available. A must do if you're visiting Messina!

An amazing tour with an amazing tour guide - What a great tour! Erika was extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. She and her father (yes, her father was the driver for the tour!) picked us up at the cruise port and showed us all the sites of Savoca, Taormina, Castelmola, and even Messina, their home town. Erika provided all the history and funny stories for the places we met and made it an extremely special tour. She also provided several recommendations for places to eat, visit and shop when we had free time in a couple of the cities. When you end up building a relationship with a tour guide, you know it was a special tour. That is what Erika did for us.

Beautiful tour! - Have to say what beautiful places we got to see on this tour. Savoca was just a charming town. Taormina was just breathtaking. Castlemola had an incredibile view being over 500 meters above sea level. Our tour guide Erica was just wonderful. Loved that it was just us with the guide Erica and driver Francesco.

Great time - We had such a lovely day on our tour with Fillipo and our guide Sonia. We started where the first Godfather film was shot in a beautiful little town of Savoca. Then to Castlemola and the gorgeous town of Taormina. We got free time to walk around and enjoy a delicious pizza lunch. Then we ended up with seeing a beautiful view of the strait and the spectacular Duomo of Messina.
