The guided tour of Mount Etna was excellent. Our guide was professional, knowledgeable and friendly and clever enough to have had spare coats in her car: we needed these. It was perishing cold up there. Taormina was fine; without her company. We just wandered about this beautiful town. Her guidance would have enriched our experience.

Appreciated the pickup at our rental apartment. We loved Etna, but didn’t really get the stop at the roadside vendor. Would have liked a little more time at the crater, to explore the surrounding gift shops. All in all it was a decent tour.

More strenuous hiking than noted in descriptions. Take hiking shoes. There was no lunch stop so we had to take most of our time in Taormina to eat. Our guide for Mt. Etna was impatient and snippy when we asked to be able to buy water because the very long stop we had in the morning to wait on her didn’t have water to purchase. We found the reviews and description completely misleading.

Rating is based off of description vs. reality. We got picked up at 0830 (vs 0900) without prior coordination so we just weren’t 100% ready. Better early than late I guess. Our guide was more of a driver, tho he did explain a few things. There were no hard hats provided for the “lava tub” and we had to use our own cell phone flashlights. We didn’t stop for any pizza, but instead, were given a restaurant recommendation is Taormina. And we stopped at a bee honey farm, where there was no mention of that in the description. Booking through a 3rd party (Viator) may be partly to blame for expectation vs reality, but there were some disappointing aspects while others were a pleasant surprise.

Isa did a wonderful job of describing all aspects of flora fauna and volcano features and characteristics. It was a great tour.

Isabella did a fantastic job! She is well informed, drove safely, and even conjured up a beautiful rainbow rising from the hillside, spectacular! Thank you Isabella for wonderful day.

We had the best local tour with Alessio, giving the authentic vibe of Sicily’s vibe and Mt. Etna. Thank you Alessio for being so approachable, kind and knowledgeable.

Our day tour of Mount Etna and Taormina was very enjoyable and efficiently organised. It was made even more fascinating due to our tour guide, Isabella. Isabella was so very knowledgeable about the geological aspects of volcanoes and specifically the history of the multiple eruptions over decades. Isabella was very informative also about the plants and flowers we saw. Our visit to the Greek theatre and the public gardens in Taormina was interesting. We would highly recommend this day tour, even though we didn't get to the summit due to the poor weather, it was still truly memorable.

Excellent tour! We learned so much and laughed throughout the day! Thank you Alessio for a wonderful tour! The Partesano Family
