Massimo was wonderful! Kind, generous and professional. A superb driver who looked after us exceptionally well. Highly recommended!

This was a wonderful experience. From the detailed pickup directions and the ease of locating our driver. Carmelo was a pleasure. We drove to Castelamole and Taormina We explored on our own but were able to communicate with our driver if we wanted to change plans. He spoke excellent English and provided many tips and facts about the area. I would highly recommend using this company!!

We were assigned a driver who did not speak English which made the drop off and pick up coordination at several locations stressful. He tried his best to meet our needs but our travel experience could have been more enjoyable if we could have asked him questions.

Our driver, Benedetto was fantastic. Without him, we would not have thought to go up to Castelmola, which actually may have been our favored part of the day. He was a very safe and professional driver and handled the winding terrain perfectly - which was very reassuring to all of us in the car! Benedetto was friendly, helpful, and had ice cold water in the car for us. Additionally, he did an excellent job of giving us the free time to walk around just us, which is what we wanted. Just a text message and he was there in 2 minutes to pick us up. I wish we had more time in Taormina, but would 100% do this again with Benedetto.

Company owner Maria was responsive and professional in the prior months planning and discussing. Driver Carmelo was courteous, prompt, professional, with an immaculate, brand new vehicle, and great driving skills; comfortable ride. He spoke good english. Cold water was a nice touch. We also added a private guide, as we like to hear the back story and have someone with us throughout the points of interest (the driver can not go to some places and has less historical and cultural information.) We had Maria Luisa as our guide, and she was perfect! Charming, smart, very experienced seasoned professional, warm, helpful. Great stories and so nice to us; we learned a lot and she was great to spend the day with. This company is excellent and I would highly recommend. We were more than pleased with all. Definitely will work with them on our next visit to create more incredible memories, exploring the beauty and wonders of Sicilia! Grazie Mille, Thank you very much!

We are so lucky to have had Mr Benedetto as our driver!! He made the process smooth, simple and stress free. A total professional, he let us know when he arrived in port to take us to Taormina and did the same when it was time to pick us up. He told us a little about the area both to and from Taormina. When we come back - and we will come back- we will call this company and specifically request Benedetto!

Brilliant communication from beginning to end with Maria. Notified of our driver the night before and Carmelo was waiting for us elegantly dressed with a spotless van. Spike perfect English and happily talked about Taormina Sicily and more. Took us everywhere we wanted to be was always there at the arranged spot and always on time. Arrived back at the ship on time and I would highly highly rate Taormina Transfers. Don’t look anywhere else

The planning for a group of 15 was not exactly a straight forward matter. Maria handled all of our queries with patience, expertly and promptly. Bravo! Our excursion from the Messina cruise port and back worked perfectly well. Very reliable, excellent service and pleasant to work with.

Compliment also for the speed of organization and last minute professionalism, but above all for the friendliness and competence of Mr. Benedetto who was fantastic and super helpful with us.
