Relaxing and Beautiful Tour
We loved this tour! It was a beautiful and fun experience out on the water. This tour is such a special experience to be able to see Taormina and the surrounding areas from a different perspective. The water is so stunning and it was so nice to stop and swim. The guides are thoughtful and the refreshments were delicious.

A day I won't forget
Amazing tour which everyone should go! Francesco was a great guide, considerate and engaging. Even though I have a fear of heights, he was so considerate and tried to keep everyone in the group feel included. The beauty of Etna is singing everyone should see once in their life! I really enjoyed the sunset tour!

Great experience with Diego!
Had a great time with our English-speaking guide Diego! He's very knowledgeable about the nature, landscape, and history of not just Mount Etna but all of Sicilia. He took the time to explain and diagram everything and answered all questions while expertly and safely guiding us along. It was a bit chilly and windy up at the craters but they provide jackets and hiking boots (don't forget socks!) as well as walking sticks for those who need them. For the Alcantara gorges, I'd suggest wearing or bringing swim shoes or Tevas type of footwear so you can wade in the water without hurting your feet on the rocks

A Path Best Taken
Luca ensured that every moment of this experience was unforgettable. During our drive to the site, he gave us background history of Catania and Mt Etna to prepare us for the adventure. When we got there, our first stop was an idyllic area where we got to take in an old lava flow. It was huge and beautiful. During that time, we sampled local trays, homemade biscotti and local wine, if we wished. After that, we drove down the road. Suited up with helmets and flashlights, we explored an old lava tube, with his guidance, an experience of a lifetime. Before our final adventure, we we given time for a snack and a break. We then hiked about about an hour around the rim of an amazing volcanic crater, truly amazing. Luca guide. He truly cared sbout those of us he guiding, not about himself, upselling us, or angling for a big tip, as we experienced just the day before. He made sure I comfortable with the hike. I am pretty fit, but older and had recent back issues. I am so glad he encouraged me to try it and he looked out for me along the way. We also had my family, including my 5 ur old grandson and he did well with every past of the trip. I will always remember this experience. Luca was also fun, playing popular and Italian music. This was not the most luxury tour I ever took, but it was one of the best. Thank you Luca. You are a true professional and obviously love what you do!

A great day trip
A great day. The walk on Etna was a bit of a challenge in part but our guide Itala was fantastic. She helped me down some steep slopes and paced the walk well considering her participants safety and skills. She was also a great driver. Two hours in Taormina was enough time to see a couple of the sites.

We did this tour with...
We did this tour with Florence and I’d definately recommend, pick up was well organised and great communication though out. The small group made it such a good atmosphere and we got to know everybody throughout the day. When arriving at Etna we were given the option of whether to hike around the area which is included or pay extra for the cable car then 4x4 car up, we opted for the cable car in the end as we wanted to see etna from higher up. The group divided with 4 of us going up and 4 staying for the hike but Florence kept in communication with us who went up via WhatsApp. Etna is amazing to see. Afterwards we drove 10 mins to a lava tube and equipped with helmets and flashlights. Followed by the most amazing wine and food tasting, there were about 8/9 courses of food, 4 wines (2 red/ 2 white) followed the 3 liqueurs.
It was such a good balance of adventuring and then relaxing. Would definately recommend this tour to anyone who asked

A must do tour !
A must see if in the area and pay the extra to meet the Baron and his see his house. even if you’re not a fan of the films this is an incredible part of the tour. I don’t wish to say anymore about this part so as to not spoil the experience!
Everything about the day was perfect, lots to see and at a good pace with an excellent lunch stop too.
Our guide Peter was friendly, knowledgeable and added to the experience.

Our guide, Salvatore,...
Our guide, Salvatore, made our day super special. He’s really interested in his work and is so knowledgeable, patient and friendly. He told us where we were going throughout the day and made sure we were safe. Nothing was too much trouble and we had plenty of time at each stop. Salvatore explained when Etna was formed, showed us old lava flows, took us into a lava tube and walked us up onto crater ridges. After a generous lunch at a local restaurant, we moved onto the incredible Alcantara Gorge. Fabulous rock formations and great end to the trip. Would highly recommend.

They made us an offer we couldn’t refuse !
An excellent trip with a charming guide. Very informative & entertaining tour. We visited a few key points of the movie & at times I felt quite overwhelmed. So pleased that we chose a small tour operator rather than the coach alternative. Book it. You’ll love it 👌👌👌

A Must Do!
This tour was probably the best tour we have ever taken! Organized and breathtaking! We were on a small speed boat (no more than 12 people) and our guide Vito was the best! He truly loves what he does and it shows! The places he took us too to swim were the best we have ever seen. Thank you Vito for an unforgettable experience we will be back!

Great night out in Taormina
Easily walkable from the centre of Taormina. Popular arias from well know operas with a tenor and soprano accompanied by a pianist. Charming little theatre with drinks and snacks provided in the interval. Starts at 9:15 pm and lasts for a couple of hours. Thoroughly enjoyable.
