It was a nice tour. The drive was a bit long (3 hours each way) but very pleasant and you could observe the beautiful landscape of Sicily. Etna and Taormina each had 2 hours to explore the place. All in all well organized, our tour guide was very nice and told us a lot about Sicily and gave us some tips for Palermo.

Top. We were contacted the day before to be picked up and the pick up was very easy at our AirBnb. We went to Etna in barely 3 hours from Palermo with a break for lunch. Visit of Etna (we paid 58€/pers to go up to the top) in 2 hours. We took the van back to go to Taormina, a very pretty town with a very nice view. We had 2 hours free for lunch and sightseeing. Then return to Palermo at 6.45/7 p.m. I really recommend and we had a very friendly driver who told us lots of history about Sicily and its surroundings.

Little feedback. Pick-up at our hotel at 06:00 a.m. and grouping with the other participants for a coach departure at 06:45 a.m. We arrived in Sapienza at 10:00 a.m., the road is more than 3 hours long. Arrive on site 2 hours free, we opt for the cable car (30 euros per person) which takes you to 2500 meters, the view is breathtaking. You can choose to climb the rest on foot or a jeep will take you there for an additional 30 euros . Return to the coach at 12:30 p.m. for the departure to Traormine, 1 hour by road. Little time on site, too short to enjoy it and return to Palermo at 8:30 p.m. after 3:30 a.m. by bus. All in all the experience is worth the detour, the simple fact of going up on Etna justifies the price of the excursion. I strongly recommend, but be aware that the day will be very long and a lot of transport in reality.
