We had so much fun, it was a great opportunity to spend a day visiting Taormina, hiking a mt. Etna crater, and doing a small tasting at the winery.
Wonderful experience to Etna and Tarmina

It was excellent to go this full day trip. Have learnt a lot of knowledge about Etna volcano and the craters. The exercise climbing to the top of a crater was wonderful. It was easy to do sightseeing in Tarmina - the most beautiful mountain town with a map prepared by the guide Giuseppe Barbagallo. We were lucky to have his guide who even sent us a link on mobile map for us to go to the meeting point and saved a lot of time and energy. He is a very knowledgeable and friendly guide we have learnt quite well from him.
Great time with friends!

Peppe our guide was great; very knowledgeable in Etna's volcanic activity. The small hike was a very pretty path. We tried a variety of honey, wines, olive oils and others. Unfortunately, cloud coverage/fog covered the view at the top and the cable car wasn't operating. Due to the snow, we couldn't go into the cave either. It was still a great time and Taormina was beautiful as always. I still would recommend this tour and will likely do it again in the future, maybe late spring or early summer to ensure we can go inside the cave. Thank you!
Fabulous Day Out!

Salvatore was a great guide. He was funny, informative and made a point of getting to know everyone's names. Taormina was incredible! I really didn't expect to have as much fun as we did. And the amount of things we got to taste test on My Etna was awesome - red wine, white wine, various spreads and flavoured olive oils and even 3 types of liquors. I'd love to have Salvo again
Excellent guide tour in Sicily

The weather wasn't great, but Beppe, our guide, was fantastic. We saw everything that was promised, and even more than I expected. I was also impressed by the tasting. I'm delighted with this day!

The tour was great and very well organized. Our guide Pepe was knowledgeable and friendly, and we really enjoyed learning about the area. Unfortunately, due to heavy snow, we weren’t able to climb Mt. Etna as planned, but this was for safety reasons and understandable. Taormina village was absolutely beautiful and made the day very worthwhile. Overall, a very enjoyable experience and still highly recommended.
