About Taormina

Taormina's cliffside setting between Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea makes it the natural base for Sicily's most refined private excursions, where expert drivers handle the winding roads while you focus on the views. For a half-day escape, the Private Tour of Taormina & Castelmola: Comfort and Unforgettable Views pairs the town's Greek theatre with Castelmola's hilltop panoramas, while travellers with more time choose the Authentic Sicily: 8-Day Small Group Tour (Max 8 Guests) - Etna, Villages & History, capped at eight guests for an unhurried, personal pace.

Frequently asked questions

A private tour means the vehicle and driver-guide are exclusively yours, so timings and stops flex around you — the Taormina and Castelmola private tours and the Syracuse and Noto departures all work this way. VIP small-group options instead cap numbers, such as the 8-day Authentic Sicily tour limited to eight guests, giving you expert guiding.
