Private Taormina Top City Sights Walking Tour

4.9 (12 verified reviews)

About This Experience

This is a private 2-hour walking tour of Taormina’s main sights, run by TUI Musement. It includes a guided visit inside the Ancient Greek Theatre, but it does not include the ticket to enter. The listing excludes the ticket to enter the Greek Theatre and says it can be bought on the spot, at about 10 euros per person.

The itinerary starts at Porta Messina. You pass Porta Catania and the main square, then visit the Ancient Theater of Taormina with your guide. The route goes past the Odeon and Palazzo Corvaja, along Corso Umberto, and ends back at Porta Messina. Apart from the theatre, the stops are walk-past stops.

The listing’s own price note was about 10 euros per person for the theatre ticket, while another listing on this site breaks out a 16 euro adult ticket. Check the current adult fare at the theatre office before you plan the cost.

The tour is private, so the pace is set by your party. The guide can speak Spanish, English, French, German or Italian.

From about $157 per person (checked November 2026), and the first available date we found was 10 November. The listing says it is not suitable for wheelchair users.

Julia was the perfect guide. So professional, friendly and enthusiastic about Taormina. It was 3 hours well spent - learning the history about Sicily and enjoying seeing the sights. Well worth it. We really enjoyed it.
