We visited Sicily for approx a month in January. We decided not to drive ourselves and used a company called Taormina Transfer. They are extremely flexible and will do as little as transfer you from Catania airport to Taormina or arrange a trip all around Sicily with day tours like they did for us. Always on time and very pleasant. Maria and Massimo were great and nothing was too much trouble. We highly recommend them.

The trip had few stages, each of them was perfect. Sebastiano was a great guide, he picked us up from our hotel on time, he was full of passion showing us this great Etna and answering our questions. The weather was perfect. We were surprised how green the area of Etna is! She was talking to us, we heard few thunders. Very interesting tour, next time probably we will discover Etna by foot. It is very big area, full of trees.

This was a great tour. Perfect timing; private tour; we saw a lot of different things. Nothing to complain about. They pick us up at the hotel so that was just perfect. Maybe it could be more clear that we don’t go up the main crater but maybe I read bad the information.
