A day etched in memory lane. - Loved the experience. Etna turned out to be much more than what I was expecting. Taormina is beautiful and enjoyed the golden sunset there. The Guide was very jovial and did amazing job at engaging people of varied nationalities.

Besides the volcano there is more! - A truly exciting and rich experience, well above my expectations.
Certainly also thanks to our guide Simone who exudes passion for the craft and for his land in every word.
Etna beautiful. Even with a natural thermal shock compared to Catania, rental equipment is available to deal with the snow. Cable car and snowcat to get to the top, also feasible with children (I one of 4 years and one of 16 months), if well covered and well accustomed to this type of excursions.
Level tasting with the possibility to order local products and have them shipped comfortably to your home.
Finally trip to Taormina, a real pearl in the heart of Sicily. It is definitely worth a visit, then over the Christmas period it was even more special.
Tour to be booked with your eyes closed. Bellissimo. And congratulations again to Simone

Perfect + highly prepared guide - Excellent experience. Daria, our guide, was fantastic in everything: as a driver, as a bilingual guide, a kind of "wikipedia" of Etna and Sicily. The tour starts from Catania, along the way the guide prepares the group for the experience by telling the story and characteristics of Etna. You arrive at the refuge and go trekking (easy but equipped with appropriate clothing and footwear) around the Silvestri craters and then move on to a small hut where you are guided in a series of tastings of local products. The guide gets back in the car and introduces to the next visit, a lava cave into which you enter equipped with helmets and batteries and go for a more than 200 meters: a suggestive experience and, once again, well told and accompanied. The second part of the day takes place in Taormina: the guide will leave you free for a couple of hours and then return to Catania. Very good Etnatribe, fantastic Daria, we will try other excursions as soon as we return to this part of Sicily.

Enzo was a fun and jovial... - Enzo was a fun and jovial guide. He told us stories about the mountain and the towns and lots of history of the lava flow and the protected park around Etna. He was calm in crazy traffic and made me feel very comfortable and safe. I really enjoyed this tour!

Fabulous trip! - This is one of the best day trips that I have even done. Our guide was Guiseppe and he was amazing: organized, fun, and super informative.
The hike of Mt. Etna was incredible! Amazing views! Unbelievable photos! Honestly, the Mt. Etna portion was so incredible that the latter visit to Taormina was like a bonus. Book this tour! You'll love it!

MUST DO TOUR!! - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
I solo traveled for the weekend and was looking to find a way to go to Etna and Taormina. Not only did this tour get me to these locations, but I felt like I got a truly personal experience out of going with this specific tour. Our tour guide, Eduardo, was fantastic. He was super knowledgeable and funny, and made the day incredible. The tour included everything from seeing lava tube cavas, a guided hike up Mt. Etna, a tasting of Sicilian food and wine, and free time in Taormina. To top it off, the tour provided pick-up from my hotel and was even able to drop me off at the airport at the end, free of charge. I cannot imagine how any other tour would even be comparable to the day I had.
