Full description

Discover the timeless elegance of Taormina, a beloved jewel of Sicily perched above the Ionian Sea, where history, beauty, and refinement converge in a setting unlike any other.
Accompanied by an expert local guide, begin your leisurely walking tour through the heart of Taormina, once a retreat for European aristocrats and artists. Stroll along Corso Umberto I, the town’s elegant main promenade, lined with refined boutiques, historic palazzi, and charming cafés.
Step into a world of Greco-Roman heritage as you visit the magnificent Ancient Theatre of Taormina — one of the most celebrated archaeological sites in Italy. Framed by dramatic views of Mount Etna and the glittering sea below, this still-active amphitheater remains a breathtaking testament to the town’s cultural grandeur. Venture off the beaten path to discover Porta Catania, Viccolo Stretto — the narrowest street in Europe — and the enchanting Villa Comunale Gardens, once a private residence of a Scottish noblewoman. Here, lush Mediterranean flora and sculpted terraces offer moments of tranquility and panoramic splendor. Throughout the tour, your private guide will unveil Taormina’s layered history, from its ancient Greek origins to its Belle Époque glamour, adding depth and narrative to every step you take.
Whether it’s your first time or a return to a favorite destination, this walking tour offers a sophisticated and intimate journey through the soul of Taormina — curated for discerning travelers who seek more than just a sightseeing tour.
Optional luxury add-ons: aperitivo with a view, boutique shopping stops, or floral art moments
Let Taormina charm you with its elegance, stories, and stunning vistas — all brought to life with a private guide dedicated to your pace and preferences.
