Guide was informative about History and general tips about Taormina for shopping and eating. Guide lives locally and speaks several languages.

Chiara is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Taormina and it’s history. She led us on an enjoyable walk through parts of the old town with an emphasis on the Greek/Roman Theater. You can do all this on your own, but Chiara’s passion for the town and its sights adds so much to the experience.

Our tour guide Chiara was wonderful! Not only did she share her wealth of history of Italy and the island of Sicily but she was also a lot of fun. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Taormina. We learned so much during our time with her.

Our guide provided us with a great deal of historical background. We toured several ruins. We enjoyed the tour but would have liked to have spent less time at the Theatre and seen more of the side streets in town.

We did this tour when we first came in to Taromina and I am so glad we did! Chiara was a wonderful guide giving us an in depth introduction to Taormina and it's history. She showed us many parts of Taromina that we would never have known to check out. I highly recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your stay in Taormina!

Jerry was great!! Knowledgeable and showed us all the highlights of Taormina in 3 hours. We did a little tasting of local deserts and had a great experience!

My husband and I had a wonderful walking tour of Taormina with Geri. In addition to discussing the history and significance of various sites, Geri also gave us insight into how Taormina residents live, taking us to residential neighborhoods and local shops. We really got a taste of the city.

This tour was fantastic in every way. Communication from the moment we booked the tour was prompt and professional. We knew exactly where and when to meet with Chiara, who is a fabulous guide with a wealth of knowledge about her beautiful home of Taormina. As others have mentioned, her credentials allowed us to skip the lines at the Greek Theatre, and her in-depth knowledge of that site gave us great appreciation for its history and cultural significance. But that was just one small portion of what was an excellent adventure through the winding streets of Taormina. We sampled local treats like pistachio granita while we feasted on Chiara’s extensive commentary about the colorful history and unique features of Taormina. It was a perfect day that we will never forget. Grazie mille, Chiara!
