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.
Snow on a Volcano and Magic by the Sea

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Our Etna and Taormina tour was one of the most incredible experiences of our entire time in Sicily. Having a door-to-door shuttle for the whole day was a lifesaver. It allowed us to relax, enjoy the scenery, and take in everything without the stress. Mount Etna was absolutely unforgettable. We weren’t expecting snow, which made the entire experience feel even more magical and surreal. The highlight was ATVing through the unexpected snow, something we never imagined we’d be doing on an active volcano. It was thrilling, stunning, and unlike anything we’ve ever experienced before. After Etna, we headed to Taormina, which was pure magic. The views, the charm, the history, the food — it all felt straight out of a movie. We instantly fell in love with the town and kept saying over and over that we have to come back. One day was nowhere near enough, and we left dreaming about returning for a much longer stay. Between the ease of transportation, the breathtaking scenery, the unexpected adventure on Etna, and the enchantment of Taormina, this tour packed so much of Sicily’s beauty into a single perfect day. Highly, highly recommend — especially if you want unforgettable memories without the stress of navigating those mountain roads!
