What an amazing experience with an equally amazing guide and driver. Erika was a brilliant, knowledgeable and extremely kind person. Our trip was Mount Etna and Taormina with a tasting experience. Erika sorted the tickets for us for the cable car up Etna as we had young people with special needs with us. She was very informative about Etna and then the driver, who happened to be her dad, drove us to some fantastic viewing points of Taormina. All in all we had a great day and was very impressed with the service we received. Thank you Erika.

This was the most amazing tour of Messina! I cannot recommend this excursion more. Serena was our tour guide and she was an expert in all things Sicily. She was kind, funny, and very informative. We spent the day going to Mount Etna, Islobella and then lunch in Taormina. This was incredible! A must if you are heading to Sicily!!

We arrived at the Port of Messina where Filippo and Ketty our guide came to pick us up. We had a great day, rich culture and we took full eyes. Children 17 and 8 years old were amazed by the landscapes. We went to taste local products then Etna. We continued with the visit of Taormina and ended with Messina with a good tasting of Cannolo. We advise you Filippo to close your eyes and thank you again to Ketty for her culture and all the information she brought us.

During our recent trip to Sicily, we had the incredible opportunity to explore the majestic Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe, located on the east coast of the island. The experience began in Zafferana Etnea, a charming village on the slopes of the volcano, famous for its honey and unique landscapes. There we met Ppilipo, our guide, who was instrumental in making this tour unforgettable. Ppilipo not only guided us through safe trails to the best observation points of Etna, but also told us fascinating local stories and legends. His in-depth knowledge of volcanic activity and Sicilian history, combined with his infectious enthusiasm, made every moment exciting and educational. I highly recommend Ppilipo as a guide to explore Mount Etna and its surroundings. His professionalism, passion and ability to connect with visitors make him the perfect companion to discover the magic of Sicily. If you have the opportunity to visit Etna, do not hesitate to contact Ppilipo and enjoy this adventure full of spectacular scenery, culture and history.

Had a wonderful day on our tour with Fillipo and guide Sonia. We went to Mt. Etna and walked around the Silvestri craters. Then to Taormina where we had free time to walk the main street Corso Umberto and look at many shops. We ate a delicious cannoli and Gelato. Just breathe taking view from Piazza 9th of Aprile. Had a lovely lunch there at a local resturant suggested by Fillipo. Then got to see the beautiful view of the Strait of Messina and the amazing Duomo of Messina.
