Rare Keith1010 Posted March 25, 2018 Author #32 Share Posted March 25, 2018 karska, I am glad you enjoyed the photos. How nice you have two trips. I would recommend doing a tour the first time you are there and then after that experience you can decide if there is something else you want to do on a tour or if you would just want to go out on your own. I prefer private tours over the ships tour as you can change things up and go at your own pace. Should you think the price is too high you could try through your roll call to get another couple to join you to bring down the costs. We used quite a bit Joe Banana Limos but in Rome we used Drive In Rome and on our trip later this year we will use Rome In Limo. If you book three tours (could be in different cities) most of these companies offer discounts. I would check out each of their sites. http://www.joebananalimo.com http://www.driveinrome.com http://www.romeinlimo.com They are all great responding back quickly to any and all questions you have including pricing.

littlelulu01 Posted April 2, 2018 #37 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful pictures. If you had to choose between one or the other and not both which would you pick- Taormina or Savoca? We have the distinctive voyage credits so double excursions credit for an ncl cruise. They don’t offer a combination excursion like you took- just one or the other so it’s almost free and only pick one or do something like what you did private excursion and pay $$$.

EIther area would be nice. For the views I think I would go with Savoca although Taormina is a charming town. Given picking one I would do Savoca.

Given picking one I would do Savoca. Keith Thanks for your opinion. I was leaning towards The Godfather tour but your beautiful pictures and descriptions of Taormina had me second guessing. We splurged on cabin in part because of double shore excursion credits so for the first time we are going with ship excursions almost exclusively.

karska Posted April 8, 2018 #43 Share Posted April 8, 2018 We are looking at tour company Sicily with Mario. The Godfather tour includes Taormina , Savoca and Messina. Keith do you think it's important to see Mt Etna? What other towns would you recommend. We dock in Catania. And as I said we are there twice. Are there private taxis for hire that we could use the second visit? Thanks in advance Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etna is necessary to visit but like most things everyone will hve their own opinion on that one. Yes, I have known people who have negotiated taxis to take them on tours.
