We loved our day visiting Mount Etna and Taormina and so much appreciated our excellent guide, Peter. We were picked up directly at our B&B in a very comfortable van and safely guided to both sites. We debated driving ourselves to both locations, but so glad we did not as the roads can get tricky to navigate and traffic was heavy coming back. Peter was great fun to talk to, and we learned much about the area in our day with him. He was very accommodating to our schedule letting us determine how much time we wanted to spend at the sites. We had a fun stop leaving Mt Etna at a local shop where we could taste local products. He gave us excellent advice on things to see while in Taormina. It was a great, relaxing way of seeing two sites that are so worth seeing!
Peter was an excellent driver and he shared really interesting and useful information about Etna and Taormina and sights around them.
Amazing! Peter was amazing and very knowledgeable! 10/10 would recommend . This was a life changing experience ❤️🌋
Well organized and carried-out tout. Isabella was very professional and hospitable. There was some room for choices within thr day.
Excellent experience! Mt. Etna was active during my visit so the tour changed slightly - and I think it was for the best! Carmelo picked me up at my hotel (in a lovely Mercedes van) and got me safely to the mountain where I was able to join a quad tour group! Visiting the lava tubes was not an option, but the ATV tour was amazing! Then, Carmelo drove me to Taormina where I was able to walk the streets and visit the sights to my heart's desire. You have a lot of freedom on this tour, which I prefer. Very professional, very informative. I highly recommend!
Carmello was a great driver. Took us to extra viewpoints along the way. Enjoyed our day with Carmello.
We thought we were just touring Etna because it was included on the journey to Taormina. Wow, were we wrong!! Etna quickly became our FAVORITE part of the day, mostly due to Gianmarco's natural ability to share his knowledge and fascination about Etna. What a fabulous tour!
It was a great tour. Mount Etna was a fantastic experience! The cable car ride was a bit expensive though, but seen the snow on top of the volcano was very cool. Taormina has beautiful views and nice shops restaurants and Roman amphitheater a highlight. Our guide was excellent.
Carmelo was our fantastic tour guide. Carmel went above and beyond to give our family a memorial, bespoke day of adventures. It's clearly evident that our tour guide loves people, provides detailed information about the towns and monuments and finds joy bringing happiness to customers.
Alessio was a great guide and very entertaining. We had a great time chatting with him and exploring Etna and Taormina. The tour was perfectly timed and we never felt rushed and had plenty of time to explore. Great value for the money.
