Rent a Mercedes Sprinter with Driver in Messina Cruise Port

Exceptional driver and guide. Very friendly, kind, and knowledgeable about every corner of the island. Highly recommended! Thank you, Danielle.

The best part of the tour was Daniel, a polite person who knows everything and speaks Spanish. He was truly a find. I congratulate the company for sending Daniel.

With pleasure, and Daniele has been spectacular! Very kind and professional!

The trip to Taormina was very relaxing and comfortable with Giulietta.. she was very caring and flexible and was able to accommodate all our requests.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish! Private Transfer Sicily did a fantastic job putting together a super memorable day for our group of 8 (4 adults and 4 boys, ages 5–10). Daniela was a lifesaver, replying instantly to my last-minute request for a Messina tour and making the whole planning process easy. Our driver, Giovanni, was the absolute best—friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and totally catered to our group. He drove us in a comfortable, air conditioned van along the gorgeous Messina coast, then got us to the cathedral just in time for the 12 PM animated clock show, which the kids loved!Afterward, he took us to Taormina and dropped us right at Isola Bella so the boys could swim. He even recommended a beautiful restaurant with a spectacular view and amazing food. We wrapped up the day with shopping and gelato in the main square before Giovanni dropped us right in front of our ship in time for our 6:30 PM boarding time. Absolutely book them for a stress-free, amazing tour in Sicily! Huge thanks to Daniela and Giovanni!

We had a great experience with this transfer company between Messina and Taormina. Our guide, Ghozale, was absolutely lovely, and our driver was professional and accommodating. They made all the stops we requested, and the price was fair. We were initially expecting a Mercedes minibus, but another comfortable vehicle was provided instead, which was fine for us. Everything went smoothly, and we highly recommend this company!

We had the BEST experience in Sicily with Giovanni. He had an I credible day planned for us in Taormina. We had great views for photos, found the best shops, ate an amazing lunch, and swam in the most perfect cove. We can’t wait to come back to see Giovanni and Daniele!

We visited Sicily on a cruise and decided at the last minute that we wanted a private tour instead of taking the cruise excursion. After comparing several companies, we chose Private Transfer Sicily because Valentina responded almost immediately and offered a very reasonable price - actually lower than several other companies we contacted. The excellent price definitely did not mean lower quality.

Everything was exactly as promised. Antonio met us right outside the cruise port, and from the moment we started the tour, we knew we had made the right choice. Antonio is a proud Sicilian who genuinely loves his homeland. Although he doesn’t speak much English, he used a translation app throughout the day to introduce the history, culture, and local traditions. He even volunteered to take photos for our family at every scenic stop.

One of the biggest highlights was Castelmola, a beautiful medieval village that large tour buses simply can’t access. Without Antonio’s recommendation, we probably would have missed one of the most charming places in Sicily. The itinerary also included spectacular viewpoints over Isola Bella and plenty of time to explore Taormina at our own pace.

We had a wonderful day and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re visiting Sicily on a cruise and are looking for a reliable, reasonably priced private tour, we highly recommend Private Transfer Sicily. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again the next time we’re in Sicily!

We literally just got back to our cruise ship after spending the day in Taormina, and I had to jump on here to recommend our driver before I forgot.

If your cruise stops in Messina, do yourself a favour and book with Daniele from Private Transfer & Tour Sicily.

We skipped the cruise ship excursion and couldn't be happier that we did. It was much less expensive, we had way more time to explore Taormina, and never felt like we were being rushed. We had time to enjoy amazing pizza, paninis, cappuccinos, pastries, shopping, and just soak in the atmosphere.

On the way back to the ship, Daniele even fit in a quick stop in Messina, which was a great bonus.

He was friendly, professional, on time, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic day. We were back at the ship with lots of time to spare, so there was never any stress.

If you're looking for a private transfer or tour in Sicily, I would HIGHLY recommend him.

Thanks again, Daniele! You made our day in Sicily one of the highlights of our Mediterranean cruise. 🇮🇹

We wanted to find a driver in Messina simply to get around for the day while our cruise was in port, but it ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our trip.

We found Private Transfer Sicily, and from the very beginning the experience was excellent. They were responsive, communicative, and made the booking and deposit process completely transparent and easy.

When we arrived in Messina, Daniele met us right at the cruise ship, and from the moment we left the port, we knew we were in great hands. He is an excellent driver—safe, professional, and incredibly engaging. Throughout the day he shared fascinating insights about Sicily, its history, traditions, and everyday life, making every mile enjoyable.

His recommendations were outstanding. We mentioned that we wanted to try granita, and he immediately made it our first stop. We highly recommend the traditional breakfast of coffee granita and brioche, especially on a hot Sicilian morning. Daniele then took us to beautiful Tindari, even making an extra effort to get us all the way to the hilltop. He recommended a wonderful local restaurant nearby for an authentic lunch before continuing to Oliveri, where we relaxed with a beer at a beach club overlooking the sea. Before returning to the ship, he even stopped at a shopping center with a grocery store so we could pick up a couple of bottles of Mount Etna wine to bring home.

What really set Daniele apart was his genuine hospitality and his passion for sharing the real Sicily rather than just the typical tourist stops. Every recommendation felt personal, authentic, and thoughtfully chosen.

By the end of the day, we weren't just impressed with the places we had visited—we had completely fallen in love with Sicily. Daniele's recommendations, warmth, and local knowledge inspired us to return for a much longer stay, and we'll absolutely be reaching out to him when we do. We can't recommend Private Transfer Sicily highly enough. If you're lucky enough to have Daniele as your driver, you're in for a truly memorable day.

​Daniel gave our group of 18 an absolute dream of a day! He met us right at the cruise port and whisked us away to the most stunning, iconic views. He even tracked down a lunch spot with an epic view that blew us all away!
​The 20-person shuttle was pristine and comfortably air-conditioned, keeping our older family members cool and happy all day. Daniel accommodated every single one of our needs with a smile. Our entire group was thrilled with his service—highly, highly recommend!

The tour was Amazing!

Very interesting tour to Taormina, Castel Mola, Messina. Very pleasant guide Daniele. A very good glimpse of the sicilian way of living!!

Thank you for your kindness!
