Explore the beautiful heart of accessible Taormina, visit the glorious Duomo (cathedral), and enjoy spectacular views of the picturesque Bay of Naxos.
Meet your knowledgeable guide and accessible van. A scenic panoramic drive takes you along the coast from Catania to Taormina. Here, your tour guide escorts you on a memorable walking/rolling tour of the fascinating, historical city center. Follow the lively main street -- Corso Umberto, to the charming Piazza IX Aprile, characterized by its black-and-white paving. It is essentially a balcony with sweeping views of the Ionian Sea and the famed Mount Etna. See the former Gothic St Augustine's Church, the 17th-century Church of St Joseph, the Bell Tower and the Porta Di Mezzo.
Another beautiful square that is the pride of the city is the Piazza Duomo, graced by a beautiful fountain, charming alfresco cafés and the glorious Taormina Cathedral. Roll inside the cathedral to admire its beautiful interior paintings and statues. Outside, savor a gelato (at your own expense) if you wish.
Snap beautiful panoramic photos from a viewpoint over the Bay of Naxos before returning to Catania.
Notes:
This tour is designed to be accessible for all guests, including those using a wheelchair. The tour operator suggests you bring a companion to assist, as guides are not allowed to push wheelchairs. The tour route avoids stairs; however, the nature of access may differ from the standards you are familiar with at home. Accessible bathrooms with wide doors are available along the tour route. An accessible vehicle with a wheelchair lift or ramp is used for transportation. The number of accessible vehicles available is extremely limited; make your accessible shore excursion reservations as far in advance as possible. Lunch is not included. If appropriate (i.e., on long-duration tours), you will have time to purchase lunch at your own expense during the tour. Maximum weight is 300 lbs. Minimum height is 4'11" (150 cm).
This tour option is specifically for guests who require a reservation for a designated accessible space, such as a wheelchair anchor. If you are a companion or have chosen to book this tour but do not require a wheelchair anchor or similar accommodation, please select the version of this tour with 'Companion' in the title. This helps us ensure that all guests who need accessibility accommodations have access to the necessary resources and allows us to coordinate effectively with our vendors.
