Sebastian was great and perfect way to go to both places without a worry. He also was very flexible. Loves it and repeat for sure





Thanks to this tour - which will allow you to visit two pearls of the island - you will be able to discover the essence of Sicily. You will start the tour with an independent trek along the paths of the Etna Park and once finished you will stop in Zafferana Etnea, the city of honey: here you will be able to taste the excellent local honey. Soon after, you will leave for the beautiful Taormina. Situated on a promontory, from here you can enjoy splendid panoramic views; there are two entrances, which lead to the city center: Porta Catania and Porta Messina. Along the medieval streets of Taormina, every corner smells of Sicily: you can taste typical foods, buy typical Sicilian souvenirs and observe the beauty of the sea. You can choose whether to independently visit the Ancient Theater, the main monument of the city, and the Villa Comunale, inspired by English gardens and home to a remarkable variety of exotic plants.

It is primarily a driver to two locations. Ours was also a helpful guide. Both sites are definitely worth going to.
We quickly realised that our driver was only that, a driver, not a tour guide. That was disappointing as we would have liked more info about both Mt Etna and Taormina. The Mt Etna experience was interesting and I am glad I have been, but obviously very crowded and commercialised. I should have done more research beforehand. We were then driven to Taormina and dropped off at Catania gate. This leads to a series of restaurants and shops very similar to that in Syracuse, where were based. Again, no explanation of history or geography and we were under prepared in that regard. Not interested in shopping!
Hi, we are sorry that you could not fully appreciate the tour, we would like to point out that in the inclusions, it is specified that the driver is not a licensed tour guide. We thank you for booking with us, we hope to see you soon in Sicily.
On the day trip to Etna and Taormina from Syracuse, both Giuliana and the driver were very helpful and friendly. Special praise goes to the tour guide, who always knew how to meet the different needs of the participants, whether linguistically (English and Italian) or according to the fitness level. Many thanks to the great team
Thank you for choosing SiciLife. We are waiting for you in Sicily to let you discover other fantastic locations and enjoy other incredible experiences!
We were fortunate enough to have nobody else join us in the day for the tour so benefitted from a private tour around Etna & Taormina. Marco (the tour guide) was so knowledgeable of his city and the area, very easy to talk to and friendly I feel I have made a friend in him and will continue to keep in touch for many years. Thanks guys would recommend Scott & Chloe Vickers

We chose this excursion through advice of the b & b of Ortigia where we stayed. That's right! Our driver-guide Marco was really helpful and very kind to our requests. He followed us step by step all day from the morning when he picked us up directly at our accommodation. Thanks again! Beautiful day 👏👏👏

Amazing amazing experience. Tour guide (Marco) was patient, down to earth and spoke great English (hard to find around here). Took his time to explain every part of tour and allowed me the chance to explore when I could. Highly recommend!
