• 5Worthwhile

  We are 68 and in good health. The hike was only 1.5 hrs and not difficult. You don't go anywhere close to the summit/crater, staying in the low area. Daniele was our guide, who was extremely informative, humorous and kind. The tour was a total of 6 hrs，including lunch at a vineyard, which was quite good. I would have preferred if the hike was a bit longer.

• 5Mr Etna- The Friendly Volcano

  The Mt. Etna 1/2 day trip was awesome. Our guide Diego picked us up close to our hotel. He was very knowledgeable and the tour was very informative- I know a lot more about volcanoes than before. The hike itself was beautiful. Diego set a very reasonable pace, and gave options for those who may not want to do every hill. We got to go in a nearby cavewe and we finished the tour by sampling some wine at a nearby winery. An excellent tour!

• 5Great tour, AMAZING guide

  Daniele was an absolutely amazing guide. He’s incredibly smart and educated. We loved hearing about the different species/plants on etna. the tour ends with a sandwich which isn’t the best sandwich ever but does the job. I would recommend bringing a snack since the sandwich is at the end of the tour.

• 5LUCA made this an awesome tour!

  Luca did a great job driving us up to Etna and conducting our tour. He picked us up in a small bus just a short walk from our hotel, which made it very convenient for my friend and I. He is knowledgeable about the region including the volcano, the plants, the cuisine, and the history. His English was very easy to follow. The tour gave us fantastic views of the volcano and in no way did I ever feel unsafe or too close to the smoke. Lunch was great too. I highly recommend!

• 5Bella Mamma Etna!

  We did the half day tour around Etna with our guide Donati in mid September. Donati picked us up from our hotel in Naxos, which was really helpful and saved us having to get to Taormina early morning. We were then transported to a vineyard to collect trekking poles, jackets etc, all provided by the company as part of the trip. The trek itself is pretty benign and not difficult, however this allows you to take in the amazing scenery and Donati was exceptional as a guide. His knowledge, patience and humour shone through and he was happy to answer all our questions. The trek itself takes approx 1 hour. We then went through the lava cages which was an amazing experience, hearing of how they were formed and used to store food packed in ice. Lastly, we were taken back to the vineyard for local food and wine. The food, brioche rolls with local produce, were very tasty and the sommelier talked us through the wine pairings. The wine was high quality (we bought some bottles to take home from the gift shop!!) and rounded off the experience perfectly. Can highly recommend this tour, a very informative way to discover more about Etna and it's surroundings.

About Taormina

Taormina is a hilltop town on Sicily's east coast, with an ancient Greek theatre facing Mount Etna, a main street of palazzi and sea views over the Ionian.

Taormina clings to the slopes of Monte Tauro, about 200 metres above the Ionian Sea, with Mount Etna smoking to the south-west. Its ancient theatre, begun by the Greeks in the 3rd century BC and later rebuilt by the Romans, still hosts concerts and performances, and from the upper rows Etna and the coast fill the view. The main street, Corso Umberto, runs between two town gates, past churches, palazzi and small shops, to Piazza IX Aprile, a terrace over the sea.

Top-ranked sights in Taormina: Isola Bella, Corso Umberto I, Taormina Piazza Duomo.
