Etna and Taormina con pranzo
Description
Join with us the Mt Etna & Taormina tour! This excursion gives you the opportunity to visit two of the most attractive places in Sicily in just one day! Following a hiking route up to 2000 meters, you will have the chance to admire forests, craters, lava formations, and scenic views of the mountain. You will visit a volcanic cave using the equipment provided from us (helmets and torches). After the trekking, you will stop at a nice Chalet, where you will enjoy a snack with sandwiches or, according to the weather conditions, you will do a lunch with typical Sicilian Street food. The lunch will be accompanied by water and local red Etna wine. Then we will move to the beautiful town of Taormina. Relax yourself having a walk along Corso Umberto, buying some souvenirs for your relatives and friends, discovering the magic of the Greek Theater, or simply taking pictures of the beautiful landscape. The tour is in Italian and English. Upon request also in Spanish and French.

Great walk. Experienced guide. Lunch ok, with good wines. It's worth it. Be prepared to walk a lot.
Very packed fun filled day. Make sure you have sunscreen, hat and water. Mr Etna is a little hike with rocky terrain. Francisco was fantastic. He was very informative and attentive. Our group was small which was perfect. Mr Etna and the cave was fantastic and Taormina was breathtaking!
It was an excellent experience… out tour guide was exceptional, spoke three languages perfectly was very knowledgeable and helpful
It was a well organised full day trip lead by Giovanni. He was a really nice guide and told us all the needed information. We had a great time discovering Etna's crateres and visiting Taormina. I would highly recommend this tour.
If you have any mobility issues this is not for you. It was wonderful. Our guide Andrea was personable knowledgeable about history and geology. Great lunch and wine. Views from so many places stunning
An excellent experience. Francesco was an excellent guide, an expert in geology, flora and fauna... lunch on Mount Etna exceeded our expectations. The time available to explore Taormina was enough. I highly recommend this tour.
Great excursion by van touring the craters and full of snow. Very good and very competent guide Danilo. We were very lucky over time. Lovely Taormina and we had 2h to enjoy it
I cannot say enough about this tour and my experience yesterday!!! I am a solo traveler and booking a tour can be difficult, Elena and Laura at the office were so helpful with booking this tour as well as. Tour to the Valley of the Temples on this upcoming Saturday. Very good with communication and super friendly! The tour itself was amazing a truly once in a lifetime experience. We started by hiking at around 6k ft on the snow (the tour provided appropriate footwear and jackets if needed) It was much more challenging than I thought it would be but Iorgo (our tour guide) was very attentive to those that were struggling. We saw craters and amazing views. Learned Al lot about Etna and its history as well. We then had lunch and wine tasting at a local winery with fabulous views of the sea. Lastly we had free time to walk around the beautiful city of Taormina. All in all a jam packed day I will never forget. And Iorgo was educated, funny, well spoken and super attentive informative!!! All for a very reasonable price!!!
Good experience despite the bad weather. Very good tour guide and interesting stops. Too much rain during the Taormina segment to enjoy the city, but there's not much we can do about it.
Amazing experience 👍 Really recommend 👌 We love Sycyly and can't wait to be there again and again 😀 One of the best places for holiday 😀 🏊☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
