Amazing archeological ruins and baroque style architecture ! Giuseppe, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and helpful. It was a very informative tour. The lunch was good too.

This day-long tour was excellent. Our driver/guide Guiseppe was exellent. There were only 4 people in total on our tour, so it was super personal. We were given time at most of the locations to walk around on our own, and the driver/guide provided us with lots of information about each place we visited. Overall, a very comprehenisve tour!

We loved getting to see all the top sites, and some unexpected sites, in one tour. As the day began, we got to see a “puff” that became a cloud ring above the crater of Mt. Etna. We fist stopped in Syracuse and It was fascinating to see the garden (former prison) in the Syracuse archeological park and to hear the story of the Ear of Dionysius. The island of Ortygia was full of amazing piazzas, meandering ancient streets, and interesting shops. The lively market and spring of Aretusa were highlights. Our final destination - Noto - allowed us to see the golden limestone of the ornate buildings as the afternoon sun lit up the town. After a very full and rewarding day our trip home was graced by a colorful sunset as the shadows fell on Mt Etna. Giuseppe was a warm and gracious guide with a strong, clear voice so those with hearing challenges were able to take everything in. The small group size allowed us to engage in conversations with him and our friendly fellow travelers. We highly recommend Etna People for your visit to Taormina!

We went on the day trip on the Saturday, group of 3 friends. Guiseppe was awesome, so friendly, good driver and we had lots of fun, he also had a good knowledge of the history. I will recommend this trip to people, just note that it is a long day, if you also want to rather go and shop and drink an Aperol Spritz you just tell Guiseppe and he adapts to your needs. Ortiga is beautiful and Noto out of this world, I'm not so sure if you need to see the Greek historic temples, not in June, July or August though, scaff holding everywhere and temporary stages, lights etc. because there are Greek Tragedy plays during the summer but the history is great, it's hot though, and lots of tourists, just keep that in mind. Love Sicily

We had high hopes of the day. And they all came true. Giuseppe is a most excellent guide. We both thoroughly enjoyed our trip

This tour covers three of the top things to see in Sicily in one day. It also provides lunch at one of the top sandwich shops in Italy - featured on YouTube. Our guide/driver Giuseppe was helpful, friendly and informative. The office staff were very efficient texting us the Google map location for the pickup the day before with a picture as an added guide. There was sufficient time to explore at all three stops. We would highly recommend this tour if your are based in Taormina.
