    A really good day out if you want to have a quick visit to Sicily, it is a very long day as you would expect. Well worth it if you don’t have much time. Mount Etna was fab a bit chilly as I researched before hand so take a coat. You will spend a lot of the day travelling on the coach to get to these areas, they tell you this before you go so if you don’t want to sit on a coach for 2 and half hours in one go then the tours probably not for you. Made some very interesting stops on the way and had ample time at mount Etna and Taormina. The ferry crossing was very good, seats very comfy and staff extremely friendly

    The best thing about this trip was the virtue ferry which was very comfortable and the staff very helpful and friendly. Then we boarded a coach for 2 hours 20 minutes nobody told us we needed warm clothing for Mount Etna nearly everyone on the coach had to buy a fleece to keep warm. Cable car we were told not to go up as there were no views and at 50 euros per person it would be a waste of money the tour guide told us. So went and had coffee and food inside cafe's to keep warm. Then onto 10 minute stop to taste olive oil honey and very poor wine, Then Taormina where we were told there was lots of places to visit our tour guide just left us in the middle of Taormina and told us to get the shadow bus back to the main bus while we saw her just wandering around on her own. Other tour guides were taking their groups around Taormina with flags probably visiting the places we were supposed to be shown. Then back to the bus for 2 hour 20 minute journey back to the ferry. A very expensive experience one we would never repeat.

    A very long day with lots of travelling for just a few hours free time, we left home at 5am and returned just before midnight. Out of the 19 hours away we spent only 6 hours visiting Etna and Taormina. Not suitable for kids or elderly with mobility issues

    Very interesting and informative days excursion to Sicily with a beautiful stop over at Taormina. The Amphitheater is a must visit although an admission fee is required. You get 3hrs to do what you want to do here. In the afternoon you head to Mount Etna which takes around 2hrs from Taormina with a stop on the way for some local tasting of produce. At Mount Etna you get around 2hrs to explore craters around the baseline or take the cable car up further, which comes at a cost of €50 euros per adult. After which its the same 2.5hour trip back to the port you did in the morning, to catch the ferry back to Malta. Ferry takes about 1hr 45mins to arrive back into Malta. A very long day with excursions and travelling on ferry and bus.

    Sicily’s prime tourist resort was discovered by the British aristocracy in the mid 1800s.

The present Teatro Greco, altered by the Romans, is the venue for classical plays every summer. The main street, the elegant Corso Umberto, with its cafés, restaurants and boutiques is a bustle of nationalities.
