What to expect
You'll start in a private vehicle with your guide, who steers you away from the obvious photo stops towards places locals actually frequent. Savoca's medieval streets wind uphill past stone buildings and hidden courtyards; your guide points out which bar has been run by the same family for decades. In Taormina, you'll see the ancient Greek theatre framed against the Ionian Sea, but you'll also learn how the town evolved beyond its tourist reputation. Expect stops for refreshment and conversation—this is about rhythm, not rushing. The day suits all fitness levels, though Savoca's steep paths mean some walking.
