Massimo was the most amazing guide for our day on Etna! His knowledge and live for the. Volcano (he lives on it) is without compare. The tour was completely catered to what I wanted on that day. This was surely the best excursion I have ever booked and would recommend this to anyone that wants to experience Europe’s most active volcano up close. The boat ride and swim with Antonio and Riccardo was a great way to finish the afternoon and Massimo was waiting for the return trip to the hotel. All in all a perfect day!
Omar was a fabulous guide . He was thoughtful in planning a tour to accommodate my limited ability. I was able to look into the volcanic crater thanks to his assistance . The surrounding area is magnificent. Omar also gratified my desire to experience a true almond Granita while visiting Taormina. He is a great driver and lovely company
Corrado was a fantastic guide. His knowledge of Mt. Etna really enhanced our experience. He guided us through tunnels, explained the lava flows, showed us dormant craters, and shared personal stories of his adventures skiing on the Mt. Etna. We enjoyed spending the day with him and recommend him to anyone looking for a fun and educational experience exploring Mt. Etna. The boat trip took us along the beautiful coastline of Taormina and into the grottos carved into the cliffs. It was a great experience. The water was so blue, and if it were just a little warmer, I couldn't have resisted the opportunity to swim. Corrado picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. This tour was a highlight of our Sicilian vacation. Thanks, Corrado!!
My boyfriend and I traveled to Taormina and couldn’t have chosen a better tour guide to show us the volcanos than Corrado. He was so informative and passionate about the volcano. The boat tour was the perfect way to end the trip, we got to jump in the water and enjoy the beautiful views.
Our guide Corrado was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant. He tailored the tour to our interests and abilities. He arrived early in a clean car with fresh water for us and he was well prepared with jackets for the mountain and seat covers after the boat ride. The wine and honey tasting was a great way to break up the morning and the arrancini lunch was fantastic! I would highly recommend this tour! Wear your swimsuit under hiking clothes because there is no where to change on the boat ride and the water was so inviting!
We spent the morning on Mt Etna with Corrado, who was excellent. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the volcano and the surrounding area and showed us various parts of the mountain that enhanced our trip and visit to Mt Etna. We walked away with a richer understanding of Mt Etna and its importance to the region because of Corrado.
Mt. Etna was incredible! We were able to do some climbing after getting settled in the hall. We weren't prepared for the significant drop in temperatures. Fortunately, our guide had extra coats. (The volcano erupted days afterwards. So it may not be available to tour currently.) We then visited a wine/olive oil/honey tasting that we really enjoyed.
We had an excellent experience with Alessandro! We enjoyed the entire day, and he was wonderful with our 12 and 13 year olds as well. This tour made Sicily one of the best stops of our cruise! We added the boat tour option and that was also a highlight with the beautiful sites.
This is our second time in Sicily and this tour represents all the beauty of the island. The mountains and the sea. Our guide Francesco was kind and never rushed us. The arancini were tasty. Thank you for the unforgettable day.
Prestilli was such a pleasure to work with! Jessica made it so easy and was very responsive. Our experience was totally customized to our needs. The guide we were assigned Maurizio was a total expert and became a perfect addition to the trip!
