Sara as your guide!

Wonderful Day
We had a large group from our cruise critic roll call that all booked this tour and the guides were extremely accommodating to us. We had a great tour of Taormina and the boat tour of Isola Bella was beautiful. It was my favorite tour of the 10 day cruise. We boated along the coast and had a chance to jump in the water from the boat while they prepared fruit and wine for all. The boat went in the blue grotto and we were able to view how the sun cast a bright blue hue on the water within the cave. I highly recommend this tour, Sara was our tour guide and was awesome! It was a place I would like to visit again.
well done

Fabulous trip
We went on this wonderful excursion last week. We were met right on time by Sara and boarded a nice air conditioned bus. We were a group of 18. Sara gave lots of information about Messina and the area as we drove. The first stop was the boat ride and the coast line was beautiful and we had a great swim at the end. The water was cold but refreshing. We then headed to Taormina for a 2 hrs stop. Such a cute town on the cliff. Sara gave us advice on what to do. We went for lunch and walked around. It was a great day and I would recommend this tour
