Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Our adult family of four really enjoyed touring Taormina with Mirco. His passion for Sicily, Taormina, and its history was evident, and his ability to show us around that charming town everywhere while avoiding the crowds was very appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed the beauty and tranquility of the Parco Florence Trevelyan. First rate tour! "
"My family and I had a wonderful food tour in Taormina with Christopher and his wife Barbara! They took us to their favorite places, told great stories, shared local pro tips to help us enjoy our vacation, and we're just warm, genuine people! They made our first day very welcoming and fun! Our Sicilian adventure started out perfectly. Highly recommend this tour and these locals. Thank you Christopher and Barbara!"
" Our food tour with Barbara and Chris was just perfect and a real highlight to our time in Sicily for our Anniversary\nTaormina is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been \nThe time spent felt like we were with friends as Barbara and Chris were so warm, friendly and accommodating \nWe visited some wonderful places and tried Arancino, sampled pistachio in different ways at Nova and even made our own Cannoli at a family ran Bakery \nWe had a wonderful time from start to finish and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that wants to make their trip extra special \n\nThank you Barbara & Chris!! "
"We had a great time with Asya! Smart and super sweet. We had a large group of 11 and one with food allergies and she accommodated perfectly which is hard to do but did it with ease. She engaged the whole group and taught us a lot about the city while eating amazing food along the way. Come hungry :)"
"Asya was a great guide, showing us around the town while sampling great food and drinks! The personal connections she had with the restaurants and bakeries made the tour even better - especially the cannoli magician Roberto! She was super fun, and her knowledge of Sicilian history is amazing. She had great recommendations for places to visit, restaurants to try, and overly tourist places to stay away from, Thanks Asya! "
"Mirco is an extremely knowkedgeable and friendly guide who did a great job introducing us to Taormina. We wound our way through the back streets avoiding the heavy tourist main thruways but never missing an important or interesting spot. Mirco's advice proved spot on throughout the rest of our visit."
"We spent a very pleasant time with Chris and Barbara. They were very knowledgeable about the history and life\nin Taormina. They took us to several local favorites that we would not have known about without them. They also recommended some wonderful restaurants for lunch and dinner around town. We would definitely use their services again."
"We spent the day exploring Taormina and had a wonderful day! It was great to see the city from a locals point of view ! I definitely recommend this service ! We felt like we were getting to see the ins and outs of Taormina that a regular tourist may not experience ! "
"Mirco was an excellent guide and gave us a fantastic local tour of the VERY touristy town of Taormina. We saw sights and learned about thr history of the town that we wouldn't have normally seen on our own. It feels like we got a perspective of the city that tourists do not normally get to see or learn about. \n\nMirco was so kind and flexible with us as well. We would highly recommend taking a tour with Mirco anytime!"
