Beautiful day in Sicily seeing Etna and Taormina - We started the day with a drive to Mt Etna. The thought of checking out an active volcano was quite thrilling so we had to visit! We went to the Silvestri crater. We didn't go any higher, there was some super steep climbs but it was too much for us! We were able to get some great photos. We then went to Taormina, a place we never would have thought to visit, but are so glad we did. We absolutely loved the village, alleys, shops and restaurants. We visited the Greek Theater there as well, which was an extra cost btw, not a big deal but just a heads up. There were absolutely beautiful panoramic views from the top of the hill where the theater is. We wanted to try cannolis from Sicily and our guide Bahar called in an order to a bakery and gifted them to us. They were absolutely delicious, I wish we got more! I definitely want to come back to Sicily and spend more time here! Our guide Bahar was a super sweet college student, very knowledgeable, and a delight to spend the day with. My kids loved her! We had a comfortable air-conditioned van that was more than enough room for our family of 8 and they also had cold waters and drinks for us. Thumbs up, we recommend!

Tour in Messina, excellent!! - We had the pleasure of doing an unforgettable tour with Alessandro that made the experience even more special, in addition to being extremely professional and punctual, he turned out to be a really nice and welcoming person, able to tell us interesting anecdotes about every stage of our trip.
The tour started in Messina, where we could explore the highlights of the city with convenient car transfers. We then proceeded to Savoca, a charming village that fascinated us with its history and breathtaking views. Finally, we arrived in Taormina, where the view of Mount Etna and the sea left us speechless.
A really pleasant experience that I recommend to everyone! If you want a stress-free tour, but rich in history, culture and fun, this is the best way to explore the area. Special thanks to our Alessandro, who made the difference!
