Amazing time - The guide pick us at the port cruise, on time. So we took a bus to Taormina when the guide explain us about Sicily history and culture. We had a amazing free time in Taormina, the guide gave us information about places to visit and eat, also included a welcome granita and local pastry. After the visit, the took a boat trip, swin included, with prosecco and cookies. The views are amazing and we had a wonderful time! They drive us back to the port cruise on time. Highly recomended!

Best excursion! - This was our favorite day of the whole trip! This group and tour guide really knocked it out of the park. We learned so much about Sicily and were taken to the most gorgeous spots via boat and tour guide. They even had snacks and water on the bus! We love love loved it and will be back in Sicily hopefully soon!

Great land and sea tour of Messina - This was an excellent way to see Messina and the surrounding areas. We took a bus and then boarded a boat to see the beautiful blue grotto pan surrounding areas. Our tour guide, Alessandra, was superb! Then we got to walk around Taormina!!! I highly recommend this tour for anyone on a cruise ship!

We had a great time with Maria Grazia on our tour. - We were on the Taormina and Blue Grotto excursion. We did the boat ride around the Grotto but could not enter due to choppy water conditions. It was still fun. Maria Grazia kept us informed throughout the tour and supplied with treats and beverage. We had plenty of time to eat and then wander around Taormina on our own. Nice tour guide!

Great Experience with Great Guide! - 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!

Great Boat tour! - Emanuel’s was a great tour guide showing us the beautiful Taormina waters and surrounding area. I meant to give this 5 stars but my phone screen only showed up to 4. Beautiful day spent with family and lovely other tourists

A RIP OFF and scam! - RIP OFFFFFF they will literally scam you!!!!!! if I could give this zero stars I would. Extremely overpriced and not at all what the listing states. Your boat ride is super short and not informative at all. You’re better off hiring a private driver and paying for a boat once you arrive in Taormina. I would absolutely not recommend this to anyone.
