Itinerary

  • Mount Etna

    visit the slopes of Mount Etna to experience the lava fields and the incredible landscape view from Europe s highest and most active volcano, in June 2013 was declared UNESCO Heritage. The Etna Volcano is one of Sicily s main tourist attractions, with thousands of visitors every year. The most common route is through the road leading to Sapienza Refuge, lying at the south of the crater at elevation of 1910 m. It hosts a large parking, several bars, a hotel, and is a starting point for the cable car. From the Refuge, a cableway runs uphill to the elevation of 2500 m; from there, visitors can take a drive with special terrain vehicles, or take a long walk to the designated crater area at 2920 m.

    2 hours

  • Ancient Theatre of Taormina

    Time at leisure for an independent tour of Taormina, ideal for strolling and window-shopping. The core of the town is pedestrian and walking through its streets which indulge you in the Taormina atmosphere. We suggest you to relax in a cafe and taste a granita (sicilian-style water ice with granular texture and different fruit juice). Moreover you can enjoy an independent visit to the famed Greek-Roman Theatre or several minor sites to be discovered around Taormina.

Great private tour to Etna & Taormina

Published on Aug, 2024

Dario was a great and friendly driver for our day trip. He arrived on time and was very kind in offering travel tips to us. We spent longer in Etna as we wanted to get the coach/bus after the cable car experience which we found very worthwhile. It meant slightly less time in Taormina which was fine for us. I definitely recommend booking this for anyone who wishes to travel in comfort.

Only for better weather

Published on May, 2024

Driver was fine Weather was terrible Crowds much too large Couldn’t get to volcano so major item was unavailable - not driver’s fault

A must activity!

Published on Apr, 2024

Great activity. The journey is long from.Palermo to Etna and Taormina but worth the effort. Our driver was the best! Highly recommended.

Fabulous full day out

Published on Sep, 2023

Our driver Dario was very helpful and polite. He assisted on our day making it flow very smoothly. Helping us with entrance tickets saving us time. He was a safe driver with a fabulous music playlist and he could sing!!!! The trip is worthwhile even though you have to travel 3 hours each way. Taormina is stunningly beautiful with plenty to see eat and drink. Oh and nice shops!!!! Fabulous trip. Thank you.

Great Tour Guide and Destinations

Published on Sep, 2023

Dario, the driver and tour guide, was great! The conversations were fun and informative. Dario made excellent restaurant and site recommendations once we arrived at our destinations. The vehicle was in excellent condition, air conditioned and very comfortable all the way through the tour. Highly recommended!
