4.00A panoramic and instructive tour of Mount Etna, its history, impacts, fascination and economic influence on the region and its surroundings. A hit-and-back to Taormina completed the experience. Note: A misinformation from Viator led us to a frustrated expectation about the visit to Taormina.
Excellent

5.00Salvatore gave us an unforgettable tour of Mt. Etna and Taormina! He was knowledgeable, personable, and so much fun to spend the day with. He shared fascinating history, made the experience easy and enjoyable, and truly brought Sicily to life for us. Exploring the volcano and the beautiful town of Taormina with him was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend Salvatore if you want an authentic and memorable Sicilian experience!
