Both Etna and Taormina were wonderful experiences. The guide was fantastic. A must to do if you are spending a few days in Catania.

Our guide was wonderful - knowledgeable and friendly. He was a great driver too! We saw a lot, hiked up to the top, on a fine sunny clear day. We had a nice break, eating & chatting, in a small town. Free time in Taormina gave us a nice walk through the shops area, and time to see the great Greek theatre. It was a small group of 6, a good size. It was a full day, all very enjoyable. I would recommend it!

Enzo was an amazing tour guide! He is a beautiful storyteller & very knowledgeable. We were so grateful everyone in our tour group was so friendly & conversational. Mt Etna was beautiful & the weather was perfect. All of us chose to do the optional cable car & the view was stunning. If you want lava rock souvenirs buy them there, it was so hard to find them anywhere else! I loved learning about the cave systems & the organic farm was really cute. I enjoyed the tasting, even bought some items to take home. Taormina was gorgeous! We spent 2 hours there. We could have stayed longer, but 2 hours felt good for us. Overall great tour & worth every penny. Enzo was a great driver (I didnt get car sick!) & I’m so happy about the memories we made.
