Taormina tour & Castelmola Sicily is a day tour from Messina port to Taormina, a best-seller among our Sicily day tours. Discover with us the villages of Taormina and Castelmola and their unique and impressive views.
Castelmola Sicily is one of the most beautiful villages of Italy, at 550 meters above sea level. We will wind up in its panoramic square, where we will be surprised by the view, on one side, on Mount Etna that, with its 3330 meters, is the highest active volcano in Europe, and on the other, on the marvelous Giardini Naxos bay, the first Greek colony in Sicily. We stop also in local cafès to taste the typical sweet almond wine.
Our day tour continues with a Taormina tour, to visit the most popular tourist destination of Sicily. With a Taormina walking tour in Corso Umberto, you will be fascinated by an explosion of colors, sounds, and flavors typical of Sicily. Don’t miss churches, ancient buildings, and exclusive boutiques, as well as great views to take fantastic photos! The aromas from Taormina’s restaurants will make an impact on you, and you will certainly enjoy a break with the flavors of our land.
The Taormina tour & Castelmola Sicily will be an unforgettable and multi-sensory experience.

Great company!
Very professional, organized and thoughtful guide. One of the best excursions we did on our 10 night cruise. We learned so much. Provided earphones to hear guide while we were walking. Bus was comfortable and air worked great. They provided water and a another little surprise that was very much appreciated.
Great cruise port excursion from Messina.
Castelmola is small but has breathtaking views. They provided a walking tour but then left plenty of time to explore on your own.
Taormina is much larger and we chose to explore primarily on our own but they did provide a walking tour there as well for those who wanted to join, which most in the group did. We had about three hours there which was perfect.
They also stopped for some panoramic views of Messina harbor before returning to the ship.
During the bus ride they provided lots of interesting commentary including visuals on an iPad. They also provided bottled water and almond cookies which was a nice treat.
The only downside is we were originally booked for The Godfather (Savoca) plus Taormina but they didn’t have enough people booked on that tour so they helped get us onto this one as well. We knew there was a chance that would happen, and appreciated they didn’t just leave us stranded without an excursion. Castelmola was a nice alternative.
All around great tour company. Wonderful guides. Comfortable bus. Highly recommended.
We toured Taormina and Castelmola with Katia this week. From the minute we got on the bus until we stepped back into our cruise terminal, Katia was sharing her passion for Sicily and it’s culture. She took great measures to make sure everyone got to see things they were interested in and her knowledge of architecture and history was incredible. A tour with Katia is money well spent!
Katie was a great tour guide – highly recommend this tour to these two beautiful towns in Sicily!
Great pizza and Canoli’s!
Excellent Tour Guide
Enjoyed a great tour from Messina port with tour guide Ecaterina. Simply amazing how she managed to engage so many of us on the tour. She is so enthusiastic and passionate about her adopted home of Sicily. Clearly cares about her home and her clients. Infectious enthusiasm- we cannot wait to return for a longer visit next year.
