Outstanding Day in Sicily with Sergio, Etna, Taormina, and Unforgettable Hospitality
Daniel S,Jun 7, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00This was an exceptional tour and one of the highlights of our Mediterranean cruise. Sergio was an incredible guide, kind, personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best possible experience. He was easy to talk with from the moment we met him and shared great information about Sicily, Mount Etna, and Taormina throughout the day. The pace was perfect, and we never felt rushed. What truly set Sergio apart was his willingness to go above and beyond. We mentioned a restaurant in Taormina. Sergio took it upon himself to make some calls and was somehow able to secure us a table despite our arrival being after lunch service was over. It ended up being one of the most charming meals of our entire trip and something we never would have experienced without his help. The combination of Mount Etna, beautiful Taormina, and Sergio’s outstanding hospitality made for a perfect day. If you’re considering this tour, book it. And if you have the opportunity to request Sergio, do it. He is absolutely stellar.
Amazing memories and educational experiences

5.00Sergio was an amazing tour guide. He was extremely informative and helpful with some fun conversations and laughs. The photos we took were amazing and the places we went to were very educational and special to the Sicilian culture. This is a once in a life time tour that you must take. I will have many memories with my family that I will never forget!
