5.00You must go to Etna volcano, is an unique experience. Guisepe our tour guide was excellent. He gave us history of this important volcano. The cave done by lava is not scary at all, adequate for younger children also. Taormina is so beautiful thatvwe are planning to stay there. We followed our guide recommendations to go rapidly to the Greek theather.. i highly recommend this tour.

5.00We really enjoyed our day. Having someone take you around takes the stress away and allows you to relax. The itinerary was exactly what we were looking for as a day trip. A mix of light trekking, food tasting and sightseeing. Taormina and the amphitheatre with views was the highlight.
Excellent!!!!

5.00It was a bit more physical than I anticipated. Altitudes and vertigo. Our guide was perfect. She knew our limits
Charming town - amazing views

5.00We took the train from Catania to Taormina, a lovely trip through the country with views of the large lemon and orange orchards. Along the way we had an amazing view of Mt. Etna capped with SNOW. Snow on a volcano? Not on my bingo card! Arriving at Taormina we took a cab into the village - highly recommended as it is quite the narrow and winding hill climb along the road. Taormina is a lovely town with beautiful views of the sea. Cruise ships anchor off shore and can be viewed from the many scenic outlooks. We sat at a restaurant called Wunderbar and enjoyed a bottle of champagne and bruschetta while look out to the Ionian Sea. Charming shops will tempt you as will the old ruin 3 century BC Greco-Roman theatre. It's a ticketed entrance and we experienced a long line up - so did not go in.
