Well done! Do this instead of booking a tour through the cruise ship. Cruise tours do not go to Castelmola! Lunch at Castelmola, overlooking Mt Edna was amazing! Driver was simply wonderful! The van goes where buses can’t go. Stops at vistas for pictured are done with the van, where tour buses can’t go! Great trip!

We had the best day with Mario and his friend Joseph. We were a large group of 6 adults and 6 kids and Mario met us right outside the cruise port where we headed into his two Mercedes vans. We took a pretty 40 minute drive to Taormina where he let us wonder around for two hours - we got some Connolis and did a little shopping in the cute town. Then we headed up the hill to Castelmola (gorgeous drive) where we had an amazing lunch. The appetizers, pizza and pastas were all amazing and topped off by dessert almond wine and limoncello shots. They offered us dessert but we were too full! They let us walk around castelmola a little and then we headed back to the ship. A great tour and both Mario and his friend were funny and knowledgeable about the area. They spoke English and gave us time to take photos at good spots. What a perfect day!

We started out very well on this adventure. We were to be picked up at 10, with a mix up. One it was a private tour and we ended up having two others join us (who were simply amazing and very enjoyable). They paid for a tour that was canceled. We weren’t credited for our private tour or even told. We later found we had a voice mail telling us we needed to start at 8:30, but nothing was ever said so who knows.
We got to the small town of Tamorina, which was beautiful. No guide just on our own. Picked us up 2 hours later, which was great-took us to our free lunch. No details were given of how long, how to order, etc. the restaurant folks were incredible.
We get in the car to go back to port (by the way no panoramic view), and the driver/guide was incredibly irritated-gave no reason as to why-drive back was scary-reckless and didn’t take us back to port. Dropped us at clock tower, says it was quicker to walk and plenty of shopping. Nothing was opened. I will be asking for an adjustment on this tour. We tipped him with no thank you and he squealed his wheels when he left/. So bizarre!

Mario picked us up in his air conditioned van. He drove with confidence through many winding roads. He showed us all of the beautiful sights as we drove. Lunch was at Gallo Cedrone, a lovely family restaurant with amazing views. We ate and drank and had a lovely time. After lunch we walked around the corner to amazing views of the sea and Mt Etna. Here my daughter’s boyfriend got down on one knee and asked her to marry him! It was the perfect setting!
Following all the excitement, we wandered through Castelmola and then Mario drove us to Taormina. He gave us very cold bottles of water and said he would be back in 2 hours. It was the perfect amount of time to explore.
He stopped at some beautiful sights on the way back to our cruise ship and showed us the Astronomical clock in messina just in time to watch it move.
Mario shared his WiFi and was a great guide!
