Our guide Alessandro was amazing and very knowledgeable. Due to strong winds and slippery road i decided to not climb the last leg, he came back and remained with me till we boarded the bus. The shop where he took for wine tasting and olive oil and marmalade tasting was amazing. In Taormina i thought the time we spent was less as i had to include lunch also and the trip can be extended for another 1 hour. Although since i had another tour starting, Alessandro made sure i reached on time and he dropped me at the starting point of the next tour sharp at 6 o clock.

We loved every bit of the tour starting from pick up at hotel in a 6 seater car. Very friendly helpful and perfect driver guide who took us around Mount Etna and Taormina.

Disappointing

Paying for more than $100, was expecting to have a tour guide to walk with us every stops. But only tour guide only serves like a drive, the only time he went with us was going to the cave for 10 mins and the cave wasnt even that big. Surprise this trip was 4 stars.

Kind guest, thanks for your feedback that for us are always important to improve the quality of our excursions. Our guides are good prepared and enthusiastic people, we are sorry that you did not appreciate him/her. The first part of the tour takes place on Etna and you can choose between doing some trekking in one of the natural paths of “Parco dell’Etna” with our guide or acquire the Etna high altitude option. If you have opted for the second option, unfortunately, you have not been able to fully enjoy the company of the guide. As for the second part of the tour, it is specified that the authorized tourist guide in Taormina is not included, we offer a free visit that allows you to choose independently how to spend your time in this beautiful historic center. We are sorry that the experience did not reflect your expectations. Hoping to have cleared up your concerns.

Stunning Mount Etna

Very good and informative. The drive to Mount Etna produced some stunning views. Our driver was friendly and a great help. I would recommend this tour, but bear in mind the cable car and 4x4 to the top is not included in the price.

The tour is very well done and thanks to our excellent guide Luigi our day was very enjoyable. The tour starts with a quick stop at lava cave, continue to the base of mountain Etna with an optional trip to the top which is definitely worth it. After the Etna the day continues with a quick stop at a wine tasting place, a visit to Tarmina and ends at the beach of Isola Bella.

Amazing Experience

This was a great tour! The visit to Mt. Etna was fantastic. My daughter and I really enjoyed going to the lava cave and taking the cable car/4x4 up to the top of the mountain. Be prepared for cold, windy weather as you reach the top. Next we drove to Taormina - a beautiful city. Don't miss the Roman theater in Taormina! The theater is impressive and the view from the theater is spectacular!

The driver/guide was great and I enjoyed the tour. My only issue was the other passenger who vomited in the van. He delayed the tour and made the drive unpleasant.
