Driving uphill until 50 meters of altitude, we will find the Botanic Park of the Alcantara Gorges, where you will enjoy your Alcantara tour walking in the cold water of this volcanic canyon, whose walls can reach a height of 50 mt. Our second destination will be Taormina, the capital city of tourism in Sicily, and with a guided Taormina tour you will discover its main street.

Sarah was my tour guide. She came with George the photographer. They were punctual, polite and accommodating. Alcantara was beautiful scenery. They even took us to pharmacy after the tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Thank you Sarah and George
