We had a great day visiting Taormina and then Mt Etna. Our tour guide, Giuseppe was great too. He's not just a driver but he's a walking encyclopedia. We learned a lot and enjoyed our day immensely, thanks to him. Our group was basically an Italian family of 2 adults and 3 children + 2 Polish guys and me. Yet Giuseppe took care of everyone and always took the effort when explaining something in Italian to come and repeat it again in English. Couldn't ask for more.

Florence was a great and knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed exploring Mt Etna and the lava cave. Taormina is beautiful with lots of shopping but 2 hours went by very quickly. If you’re into shopping you would need more time in Taormina. If you’re good just seeing the town and going to the Greek Theater for photos and back then you’re fine. Also, we did Mt Etna in shorts and tennis shoes and it was doable. It was a bit chilly so maybe pants and jackets if you tend to get cold.

Be comfortable. Wear your most comfortable shoes and light jacket. If possible, a light backpack with your personal belongings.

Carmelo was exceptional. He was punctual with pick up time. Courteous, professional, very knowledgeable and entertaining with his songs and ‘how to make carbonara’ and other italian dishes. Very helpful with our travel needs.
