Exceptional tour - This was an exceptional tour with Daniel. He gave us informative facts on way to Mount Etna and led us and directed us regarding tickets. Mount Etna was very impressive to see. Also cold on the top. We then stopped for a honey and wine tasting before going to Taormina. We had an excellent meal there as well as views and time for some shopping. Daniels English was very good and easy to understand. This was the best tour my wife and I had on our 2 week visit to Italy

Fabulous view and an even more fabulous driver! - I wish I could remember the name of our driver, he was absolutely fabulous and really made this tour special for my family. Not only did he know all the best spots to get views from, he also was kind and funny. I'm a little unstable and a natural born clutz. He sensed my nervousness at walking around the crater and he accompanied me all around.
Some of the views and locations really look like they come from another world. Getting the opportunity to see these up close and personal with no time constraint was completely worthwhile. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who likes to take their time and really enjoy the scenery.

Great tour service in Catania !! - Great guide!! Great service! I highly recommend this tour!! We started in Milan and then travelled to Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples, and Capri. We did tours in those cities with other companies and this company on this tour provided better service and a better time!!

Everything was great - We had a wonderful time with Daniel. He took us from our place in Catania. We had a ride to Etna for an hour, where we went for a walk around some old craters. Then proceeded to a small farm where we tasted some local products - wine, honey, olives, olive oil. Next we went to Taormina for lunch near the sea shore - nice food and lovely views. After Daniel left us in the city centre of Taormina where we could sightsee the town.
Everything was as described and we got to see some of the most important places around. Thank you!

Best experience ever!! - For me and my family it was not the first time in Siciliy but THIS time was different, we had the BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!! We've been very lucky to meet Simone (the company owner) and Pippo, two great drivers and very nice people.
Pippo gave us a warm welcome at the airport, drived us directly to the front door of our hotel and even waited till the porter took all our suitcases inside. He really took care of us !
Then we had a spectacular private tour of Taormina and Mount Etna with Simone. It was not a simple tour around these great areas (even if it could have been enough) but it's been also a real history lesson! Simone is truly an amazing tour guide and enchanted us with many stories and anecdotes about the history of Sicily and of Italy as a whole. Thank you guys!
5 STARS!
