5.00The 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.

A Tour That Exceeded Expectations

5.00We had an amazing tour of Taormina and Mount Etna, made even better by our fantastic guide. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the area, which made every stop more meaningful. One of the highlights was the wine and local products tasting from Etna — delicious, authentic, and a great way to experience the flavours of the region. And we were incredibly lucky to see Etna active during our visit. Watching the volcano breathe and move while learning about its history was unforgettable. A perfectly organised tour with a guide who truly elevates the experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Sicily. ---

5.00We did a full-day tour to Mount Etna and Taormina and had an incredible experience. Our guide, Alessandro, was amazing — extremely knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely kind. He shared fascinating insights about the history, geology, and culture throughout the day, and never made us feel rushed. The tour was well paced and thoughtfully organized, and Alessandro truly made the experience special. A great guide and a memorable day overall. Highly recommend.

5.00We had a fabulous tour with Salvador yesterday, he provided us different options once on Mt. Etna to accommodate the weather and the different skill and interests of our small group. We then had a great tasting at a small business then onto a wonderful and informative tour of Taormina. Highly recommend and plan to return to Mt. Etna.
