I highly recommend booking transfers with Taormina Transfer! Before our trip to Sicily, I reached out to three different companies, and this one stood out right from the start! Maria was incredible to communicate with as we were planning our trip, and even provided suggestions on wineries we could stop at for lunch during our transfer from Taormina to Ortigia. We booked multiple transfers during our stay, and all drivers were on time, friendly and good drivers. And Maria provided communication throughout. Grazie Maria & team for making our trip in Sicily so smooth and pleasant!Posted on Google

The service was wonderful. We booked a car beforehand for the day we had a stop in Catania as a part of our cruise.The driver waited for us and welcomed us with cold water . He was very polite and cooperative. We sent him our location back and although it was different than the one we were given , he came to pick us back where we were. It also took us a bit longer to get to the car but the driver was patient and waited for us. In addition, the representative contacted us before the day of arrival to confirm the time and during our stay to make sure that everything was okay. Highly recommendedPosted on Google

Amazing from start to finish! This day trip was absolutely amazing from when our driver Costa picked us up at the cruise ship to when he dropped us back off. Costa was extremely polite, knowledgeable and helpful at every stop throughout the day. My wife and I have traveled extensively and we will remember this special day in Taormina forever! Our favourite part was the theatre and just having lunch at a cafe in the main street of town. Costa also showed us a few amazing spots in Messina on our way back to the ship. Thanks also to Gino the boat driver and we definitely plan on coming back again to spend more time in Sicily.Posted on Tripadvisor

Private Shore Tour We booked Shared boat trip in Giardini Naxos and Taormina directly with the company. There were four of us. Our driver, Massimo picked us up at the Messina port. Communication with him was excellent. He took us first to our shared boat trip. Surprise for us...we were the only four on this tour. Was a great 2 hour boat trip with Nino. The water was so clear and blue. We went to caves, saw White Lotus film locations, and swam. Also shared a drink on the way back to the port. The boat ride was the highlight of our day, and probably our whole trip! Massimo then dropped us off in Taormina for lunch and shopping. Started raining later and he was quick to pick us up. Highly recommend this company and tour.Posted on Google

An Exceptional Day Exploring Messina with Costa Our day exploring Messina was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Sicily, and a large part of that was because of our wonderful driver and guide, Costa. Our day began with a visit to Galleria Vittorio Emanuele III, followed by Piazza Duomo, where we explored the magnificent Messina Cathedral, the Orion Fountain, and the famous Astronomical Clock. Seeing the clock’s remarkable show at noon was a memorable experience. Costa then took us to the Cristo Re viewpoint, where we enjoyed breathtaking views of the harbor and the Strait of Messina. Throughout the day, Costa shared his extensive knowledge of Messina’s history, culture, architecture, and traditions, bringing each place we visited to life. We stopped for a wonderful local lunch at Ganzirri Lake, enjoying both delicious Sicilian food and the beautiful scenery. Costa’s recommendation made the experience even more special. Our afternoon continued along the beautiful coast of Messina, including Capo Peloro, Torre Faro, and the Messina Pylon viewpoint. Each stop offered something different, and Costa made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery, take photographs, and appreciate the significance of each location. What truly stood out was Costa’s exceptional professionalism, knowledge, patience, and pride in his city. He was not simply our driver, he was an outstanding guide who made the entire day comfortable, informative, and enjoyable. His driving was professional and courteous, and he made us feel safe and well cared for throughout the journey. Costa went above and beyond to make our day special. His knowledge and storytelling gave us a much deeper appreciation for Messina and Sicily. We highly recommend Costa to anyone looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and personable driver and guide. He helped make our day in Messina a wonderful and unforgettable part of our Sicilian adventure. Grazie mille, Costa, for an incredible day!Posted on Tripadvisor

A Perfect Day Trip from Messina Cruise Port We took a private tour from the Messina cruise port to Mount Etna and Taormina. Since we were travelling on a cruise ship, we had limited time to explore. However, our driver, Costa, took us to several great and memorable spots, allowing us to get a glimpse of both Mount Etna and Taormina. He also shared interesting stories and information about Mount Etna, Taormina, and Messina, which really enhanced our tour experience. In addition, he stopped at several beautiful spots in Sicily for us to take photos. Overall, the trip itself was already a great experience, but having Costa as our driver made it even more enjoyable and memorable. We highly recommend this service and would definitely use it again.Posted on Tripadvisor

Best tour guide ever! We scheduled two separate daytrips from Taormina, one to Cefalu and Castelbuono, and one to Ragusa, Modica and Ortigia. Our driver both days was Costa, who made our two days truly unforgettable. We were very excited to visit the famous bakery, Fiasconaro, in Castelbuono. We loved taste testing, and brought home many amazing treats. The second day, Costa went above and beyond by stopping at the airport for us to collect a lost bag. He actually went into the airport with my sister and helped navigate the very chaotic lost and found department. This was very appreciated. We traveled on to our destinations and especially loved trying the chocolate in Modica at Sabadi and Bonajuto. Back in Taormina, we ate dinner at a restaurant recommended to us by Costa. The fresh grouper and seafood pasta was one of the best meals of our three-week trip. We cannot recommend Costa enough. He taught us the difference between Arincino and arincina, the famous balcony heads, and so much more! Thank you, Costa, for an amazing two days together!Posted on Tripadvisor

Outstanding tour experience with Costa The Mount Etna and Taormina tour with Taormina Transfer & Tour was unforgettable, thanks to Costa’s exceptional service! He expertly managed our time, ensuring we saw all the highlights of the day, and even surprised us with extra photo stops showcasing stunning views. Finishing the trip with a group photo in Messina by our cruise ship was the perfect touch. Costa’s attention to detail and friendliness made this the best shore excursion we’ve ever experienced. We can’t wait to book with them again!Posted on Tripadvisor

Private transfers to Castelmola and Taormina Benedetto met us at the port gates as planned. There were 7 of us included an 18month old who needed a child seat. We were able to converse with him and was on schedule on our pickup times while we were visiting sites around Taormina. Would highly recommend Benedetto as a driver who supplied as with bottles of cold water too. Car was spotless and Benedetto was a true kind gentleman .Posted on Tripadvisor

The best shore excursion ever thanks to Costa! We booked a Mount Etna and Taormina tour with Taormina Transfer & Tour, and our driver Costa was simply outstanding! He perfectly managed our time so we could get the absolute most out of our day and see the very best things. To top it all off, he treated us to some extra stops to take photos of breathtaking views, including a final stop in Messina for a group photo right in front of our cruise ship. Out of all the cruises and shore excursions we have ever done, Costa was hands down the absolute best. Thank you so much again, and we truly hope to book with you next time!Posted on Tripadvisor

Grazie ! A wonderful experience working with Maria to set up a private transportation for my family for a day of sightseeing in beautiful Sicily. We had a stop here for a cruise so time was important to us. BENEDETTO MACALUSO was our driver and he was wonderful. Very kind and respectful to my family with two young daughters. The van was clean neat and air conditioned and he had candies and water bottles. Drop off and pick ups were EXACTLY as described and the timing was perfect. The experience was highly professional and a great value. 10/10 recommendation. Thank you Maria and Benedetto , Grazie !Posted on Trustindex

Amazing service We had the pleasure of having Costa as our driver for a couple of days. He truly exceeded every expectation. His driving was very safe, he was incredibly polite, and he kept us engaged with his entertaining way of sharing stories. When he took us to Savoca, he highlighted the most important spots and shared fascinating insights about places like Bar Vitelli and the Church of San Nicolò, along with other historical details. We’re truly grateful for everything Costa did for us during those days, and we highly recommend this service to anyone who wants to spend time exploring the surroundings of Taormina.Posted on Tripadvisor

Superb day exploring Sicily Costa was an excellent driver and guide for our port day in Messina. Communications in advance were clear and we arrived to a welcoming host.

Excellent Private Tour – Worth Every Cent We found Taormina Transfer & Tour through ChatGPT while looking for a private tour in Sicily, and we are so glad we did. Giovanni was our guide and driver and was excellent from start to finish. After doing several long cruise-organised tours and returning to the ship exhausted, we wanted something shorter and more personal, where we could spend our time seeing the places that actually interested us. This was exactly what we were looking for. Everything was seamless from booking through to payment at the end of the day. Communication via WhatsApp was excellent and worked perfectly with our travel eSIM. Giovanni kept us informed about meeting, drop-off and pick-up points, and cleverly arranged these so we could explore without having to retrace our steps. Giovanni was punctual, polite, courteous, professional and very informative. He was attentive to what we wanted to see, never rushed us and shared plenty of interesting local knowledge along the way. There were no unnecessary organised shopping stops — our time was spent doing what we wanted to do. The vehicle was clean and comfortable and, importantly, Giovanni was an excellent and very safe driver. We felt completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the day. We saw everything we wanted to see and much more, without arriving back at the ship exhausted. The private tour was absolutely worth the money and one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend Giovanni and Taormina Transfer & Tour and will certainly be recommending them to our family and friends. Thank you, Giovanni, for a fantastic and memorable day in Sicily! Ciao Tina and MickPosted on Tripadvisor
