Both are limited to your group, and the White Lotus itinerary is the one most likely to sell out, so book early if that is your.

About Messina

Messina rewards travellers who treat Sicily's north-east corner as a private playground: a working port city with a Norman cathedral, a landmark clock tower and the Strait on its doorstep, all within easy reach of Taormina's terraces. The most refined way to experience it is on the water — the Taormina & Castelmola: Private Cruise Tour from Messina pairs a private boat with hilltop villages, while the Private Taormina White Lotus Luxury Experience: Boat Tour & Filming Locations adds the glamour of the show's Sicilian sets. Both are private, unhurried and built around your own group.

Frequently asked questions

A private tour means the vehicle, boat or guide is reserved for your group alone, with timing and stops adjusted to you. VIP access goes further: skip-the-line entry, reserved seating or a boat chartered exclusively for your party.
