Great day on Etna and Taormina
Smooth trip with pick up and drop off at the place we were staying in Catania. Francesco was an excellent guide. The tour was ideal for first time visitors, offering a mix of guided and free time, and a variety of activities, from easy trekking on Etna to exploring a lava cave, testing local honey and exploring on our own beautiful Taormina. Ideal for those who do not feel comfortable driving around on their own. We enjoy the trip very much. Thank you Francesco!

A good way to explore Mt. Etna and Taormina
Salvatore was very helpful and informative. The visit was fun with Mt. Etna, wine tasting, and a visit to Taormina. The pick up and drop off to Catania went very smoothly.

Perfect French excursion
Excellent half day stroll with Florence and Eduardo our French guides.
They are lovers of their profession and they pass it on to us wonderfully.
Never shy of explanations or changes of itinerary to accommodate a last minute physical problem.
The Mama Etna excursion on their side was very pleasant and rich in discovery

All right but...
It was a great experience, a wonderful place and a great guide, but you can't get 7 people in such a small SUV, and whose trunk door was broken.
