Explore Taormina and Castelmola on a guided day tour with round-trip transfers and an expert multilingual guide.

Getting started

Get picked up directly from your accommodation and begin your round-trip transfers to Taormina. Meet your expert multilingual guide and join the group for the guided day tour. After a short orientation, you set off together into the historic center, ready to start the guided walk that follows Corso Umberto through the old town.

What to expect

Taormina historic center

The tour starts in Taormina, often called the "Pearl of the Ionian Sea", a town where Baroque and Medieval styles sit side by side in the historic streets.

Features

• Follow your expert multilingual guide along Corso Umberto on a guided walk that traces the main spine of the old town, giving you context as you pass shops, palaces, and small side alleys.
• Pause by the ancient Roman Naumachia and continue to Piazza Duomo, where your guide points out how these landmarks reflect Taormina's layered past.
• Visit the Ancient Theatre of Taormina as part of the route; you can enter the Ancient Greek Theatre on your own if you wish, with time to enjoy views of Etna and the Ionian coast, noting that entry to the Ancient Theatre of Taormina is not included.

Castelmola

After Taormina, you travel up to Castelmola, a medieval village recognized as part of the Italian cultural heritage and known for its elevated views over the coastline.

Features

• Walk through Castelmola with your guide, who explains how this compact hilltop village fits into the wider history of the region and points out key viewpoints over the sea.
• Stop at Bar Turrisi in the main square, where you can take in the sea view and, if you choose, taste the typical almond liquor that the village is known for.
• Benefit from round-trip transfers from and to your accommodation, which link Taormina and Castelmola smoothly so you can focus on the scenery and guided commentary instead of local transport.
