    Long Day

    Derek_H, Sep 2025
    We found the tour too long, 4:00 am to 12 midnight. Mt Etna was nice to see but to tour it properly you have to be in good shape and need a full day. Taormina was a beautiful little town and would have liked to spend more time there, crowds reminded me of arriving after 3 cruise ships had just tripped of their passengers. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and very pleasant to talk to.

    Lovely 😍

    Definitely Taormina but you have to realize this excursion is not for everyone it may be very difficult to for some people because it is a lot of driving and one more thing please take a warm clothes because on the top off Mount Etna wether may surprise you it was very cold and windy on September 19th

    A taste of Sicily

    It was a great day just a long day. Be prepared to spend a few hours at each stop. Frank our guide was kind and informative.

    Fully on excursion day not for the lighthearted.

    Very interesting and informative days excursion to Sicily with a beautiful stop over at Taormina. The Amphitheater is a must visit although an admission fee is required. You get 3hrs to do what you want to do here. In the afternoon you head to Mount Etna which takes around 2hrs from Taormina with a stop on the way for some local tasting of produce. At Mount Etna you get around 2hrs to explore craters around the baseline or take the cable car up further, which comes at a cost of €50 euros per adult. After which its the same 2.5hour trip back to the port you did in the morning, to catch the ferry back to Malta. Ferry takes about 1hr 45mins to arrive back into Malta. A very long day with excursions and travelling on ferry and bus.
