Etna adventure - Our guide was First Class but we were disappointed with the price of the ticket for the Cable Car this should have been told to us by the guide before we booked it

Best day out ever - Our guide Carmelo was the best. He was very knowledgeable about Mt Etna and made suggestions to ensure we experienced the mountain fully. After Etna Carmelo took us to a beautiful old winery for lunch which we all thoroughly enjoyed (maybe a little too much because we could have stayed there all afternoon. Next we wandered around the lovely town of Taormina before being taken back to our hotel. I’d thoroughly recommend this trip, it was excellent!

Adrenaline rush - The trip was fantastic. The tour guide Alessandro was very knowledgeable, accommodating and pleasant. He made the experience even more interesting. The hike up was very challenging but totally worth the trek.

Amazing tour by a fantastic guide! - The mountain, food and expertise of the tour guide were phenomenal. Claudio Trovato, our guide, made this day unforgettable with his knowledge, charm and going through extra mile to engage the group and make us feel how special and unique this experience truly was. Claudio made this much more than a long, hot day in a van. He brought us together as a group and captured our imaginations with the beauty, history and culture surrounding Etna, Catania and beyond. I rarely go on these organized tours, preferring to find my own way and experiences. But, Claudio opened doors to new knowledge and an unforgettable experience. All tour guides should take this kind of authentic pride and interest. It makes the experience so much richer for the visitor.

Great pack tour to see Etna and basics of Taormina - Great tour, the excursion at the top of Etna with the cable car was great. I had very limited time in Catania and this tour covers a lot in Etna and have some time in Taormina to see highlights of the main street. Claudio was a great guide. Probably a stop for lunch at a better place would have been better rather than just olive oil and liquors tastings - but it’s a tight schedule for all the activities

Excellent - Great day! Just a quick suggestion of getting a little microphone and a speaker in the car so we can hear you all the way in the back with the road noise.

Make the most of your time on the Sicilian coast! - We had a fun time on this full day tour! Tommaso was a great guide and answered our questions, gave us advice and even cracked a few jokes along the way. Seeing Etna was amazing, the enoteca samples were plentiful and Taormina was lovely. Recommend to anyone wanting a bit of everything!

Great tour - Lovey guide, great tour. It was well organized, informative, and interesting. Well worth the price. We chose to hike and not take the cable car up, which made for a pleasant activity.
