“Fabio was an amazing tour guide. He answered all of our questions, was personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. You can tell he really cares about the area and all that Mt Etna brings to the people who live around it. He also had a great play list for our ride. Even though it was a chilly day and we didn't really get to see the sunset, it was still very fun. I would go through this company again, and I would also request Fabio!”

Very polite, very safe driving, no stress, not talkative, always attentive to all of us. Profi 👍🏻. As Intermezzo, we sang during the driving back 😅 it was fun ☺️”
Small-group Egadi islands day trip from Trapani to Favignana and Levanzo, with multiple snorkeling stops, Roman history talk, drinks included.
“Nico was an amazing tour guide! He was very informative about the island. He was very respective and made sure everyone was having a good time. The clear blue/aqua water was amazing and seeing the fish swim was awesome. The only thing I would suggest would have more snorkels for the masks and more noodles because the current was strong and I would have loved to swim to Lovers Cove but the current was very strong coming back! Thank you for the great day Nico!”
Mt Etna hike and lava cave plus Taormina village time from Catania. Small group, cave gear and tastings included, cable car extra.
“Exhilarating trip up mountain Etna. We chose the e-bike option as this was quite unique. We had a lovely lunch with wine tasting followed by a Taormina visit. Here we had 2 hours which was just about enough time to gain a taster for the town. We recommend visiting the Amphitheater- lovely views. Our tour guide Salvo, was amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Great tour!”
