5.00Excellent experience. Our guide was incredible and spoke 3-4 languages. The weather was clear the day we went, so the views were amazing. Taormina is exceptional.

4.00The tour was very nice and suggestive. The organization has been taken care of in every detail. The walk on Mount Etna was a really nice experience because it was all snowy and consequently we got involved with the news of the moment. At the end of the walk we stopped at the cabin. Tasting of oils, liqueurs, wines, jams and creams of the typical products of Etna. In the second part of the excursion we stopped in Taormina, a dynamic and very scenic Taormina. So we went from a snowy landscape to a sea with spring colors.
Enjoy the experience!!!

4.00The tour was very nice and well organized. The moments experienced during the tour were different and interesting. Lorenzo, our guide, was able to immediately empathize with the whole group, passing without any difficulty from the explanation in Italian to the one in English making everyone participate in the experience. He showed great professionalism and knowledge. We as tourists were satisfied and enriched.
Great tour with great guide!

5.00Lorenzo was great. Answered to all our questions, gave us a lot of nice tips about rhe island and even happened a tourist to find her kid's mobile that was lost in the middle of a snowstorm in Etna volcano area. I fully recomend a tour with him.
A Wonderful Day

Mount Etna tour with amazing extras

5.00We had an amazing day out exploring Mount Etna, riding the cable car and walking on the snow at the top! Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of history about the mountain and the volcanic eruptions over time. We then went and had a wine, cheese and sweet treats tasting in Ragalna which was really good, then had a tour of a cave created by the volcanic lava - the terrain was difficult to walk over and the entrance to the cave was harder for taller (I am 6’2”) people but we managed ok. Finally we were taken to the beautiful town of Taormina and had 2 hours of free time to eat, drink and ship. An amazing and unforgettable day!

Unforgettable Trip to Etna and Taormina 😊

5.00The trip from Catania to Etna and Taormina was worth every penny. Etna is just… wow. We went hiking and even though it was cloudy, the volcano still looked absolutely breathtaking. Our guide, Francesco, was brilliant — really informative, told us so much about the craters, the history, the formations, all of it. I felt really safe and relaxed with him the whole day. We also went into a volcano cave and then tried some local honey and olive oil, which was such a nice touch before heading to Taormina. And Taormina was magical. The Ancient Theatre is a must — you can’t go there and not see it. Best day. Highly recommend.
