We are so lucky to have had Mr Benedetto as our driver!! He made the process smooth, simple and stress free. A total professional, he let us know when he arrived in port to take us to Taormina and did the same when it was time to pick us up. He told us a little about the area both to and from Taormina. When we come back - and we will come back- we will call this company and specifically request Benedetto!

Brilliant communication from beginning to end with Maria. Notified of our driver the night before and Carmelo was waiting for us elegantly dressed with a spotless van. Spike perfect English and happily talked about Taormina Sicily and more. Took us everywhere we wanted to be was always there at the arranged spot and always on time. Arrived back at the ship on time and I would highly highly rate Taormina Transfers. Don’t look anywhere else

The planning for a group of 15 was not exactly a straight forward matter. Maria handled all of our queries with patience, expertly and promptly. Bravo!
Our excursion from the Messina cruise port and back worked perfectly well. Very reliable, excellent service and pleasant to work with.
