Together with 3 other couples we were on a cruise that stopped in Messina Sicily today. I contacted Eleanora from New York a few months ago and discussed arrangements for her to take us on a tour of Taormina and the Godfather sites. She was amazingly pleasant and helpful and we finalized arrangements to meet her on our arrival. When our ship docked she was already there waiting for us together with a driver and mini bus that she had hired to drive us around. From the moment we met her, we all fell in love with her. She has many years of experience and is extremely knowledgeable, pleasant and enthusiastic. We spent an amazing day with her touring and every member of our group of 8 loved her. We all agreed that we wished that we had a guide as amazing as her in every port. Looking forward to returning to Sicily soon and hiring her again. Cannot recommend Eleanora highly enough. If you want an amazing guide and a wonderful experience touring Sicily, Eleanora is the guide for you.
