Alessio picked us up from the hotel in a comfortable van. We headed to Mount Etna to explore the craters and a lava tube. After lunch it was on to Taormina to explore on our own. Alessio even helped arrange transportation to the airport the next day. We would definitely recommend him!

this was an incredible tour! Alessio was a well-informed, extremely polite, and made the trip exciting and also educational. I learned a lot about both Mt. Etna and the town of Taormina, while also seeing craters, cool caves, and beautiful views of Isola Bella and the town of Taormina. I HIGHLY recommend this tour and thank you Alessio for the wonderful day. It made my trip.

fantastic

the trip was amazing. I traveled alone, and was well taken care of by both the guide and the others in the group, who otherwise was a fantastic family of 7 from Romania. The trip to Etna was super, we got lots of exciting and informative information on the way there with several small stops to look at the scenery and places where the lava has taken both houses and roads. the guide was alive, full of information, nice and helpful, we stopped and ate lunch at a great place, everything was great. Taormina- Lovely I really recommend this tour and this guide, one I will certainly use again.
