Mt. Etna and Taormina Tour
Published on Aug, 2024
We had a wonderful tour with Simone visiting Mt. Etna and Taormina! He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Due to no one besides my family of four signing up, we had a private tour which was great! Highly recommend this tour and particularly Simone as a tour guide!
Excellent Adventure

Amazing tour. Mt Etna was awesome and the views from the craters are spectacular. Tairmina is a quaint town with great restaurants
Mt. Etna and Taormina private day trip
Published on Jul, 2023
Simone picked us up right at the ship and drove us right to Mt. Etna. When we got there, there were MAYBE three other people there. After exploring at our leisure, he drove us to Taormina and dropped us right at the entrance to the town. When we were ready, I called him and he met us right where he left us off, and took us right back to the ship. Very easy and enjoyable. Simone was great! Highly Recommend!
Perfect Day!

Mario was amazing! Despite a downpour to start the day, he was so positive that our day in Messina would be ok despite other operators canceling excursions. He ended up giving us a private tour to Mt. Etna where the sun shone as well as Taormina where we had plenty of time to walk around. He pointed us to an excellent restaurant where we had the best Arancini and Pizza and finished off the day bringing us to his favorite bakery for cannoli where we bought cannoli to take back to the ship.
