We absolutely loved this tour! The owner, Pasquale made us feel like we were the only people in the world that mattered, bending over backwards to be sure everything was perfect from the moment our tour began. He even came to visit us at lunch and gifted us a bottle of wine to make up for a very minor mix up, which he was far more upset about than we were! Omar, our tour guide- (turned lifelong friend) made our day so much fun and special. His love and knowledge of Sicily was contagious. He took us to a secret cave and then onto Mt. Etna which was amazing! Pro-tip: be sure to wear good shoes with some traction and don’t wear anything fancy you don’t want getting dusty. The views are 100% worth the climb, which isn’t hard when you take you’re time. I saw kids and 80 year olds walking the trails. It feels like you’re walking on the surface of the moon! Etna was spewing lava the whole time we were in Sicily but the tour was still possible because we were far from the eruption. If you’re a Godfather fan, you will love the town of Savona. It’s a beautiful walkable little town with Bar Vitelli and the church as center stage. We stopped for cannolis and espressos. Omar took videos and pictures anytime we asked…and sometimes when we didn’t haha. We had a beautiful food and wine tasting overlooking this beautiful town with the sweetest Italian owner who didn’t speak any English but easily conveyed her love of food and our company. We had our first taste of lemon granita and OMG it was amazing!! Everything was delicious and the view was unbeatable. Along the way we were able to stop to taste and buy good quality honey and olive oil (soooo cheap!) You can tailor your trip as able since we had some extra time Omar took us to a beautiful beach with black volcanic sand where we basked in the sun while eating gelato and falling in love with Sicily. Honestly one of the very best days we spent in Sicily. We saw so much we wouldn’t have seen without this tour. Omar and Pasquale, we love you both and we will be back…you’ve been warned 🤣🤣Barney_S

It was overcast when we started up to Mt Etna and arrived in time for a few photos at some of the craters but couldn't go further because of fog and rain moving in. Guide was great (a geology student so we talked a lot about the different lava flows.) When we needed an extra step for the van, the guide borrowed a large rock from the mountain that gave helped one of our travelers who had bad knees to climb into van. Lunch was authentic. And we loved seeing the church, square and Bar Vinito where Godfather was filmed.DayTrip30211302347

A really fun day with a very knowledgeable and witty guide, Omar. The weather on Etna was against us but we had a thoroughly enjoyable day regardless with many laughs. Savoca is a must for Godfather fans. We hope to go back to Etna with Omar again one day.

Bruno our tour guide was lovely, informative, funny, charming and a very good and careful driver. Etna was amazing and we learned a lot from Bruno, then on to Alcantara Gorge where we could spend what time we wanted there. At no time did we feel rushed or pressured. Then on for food and to Savoca,, again told a lot about the village and where the film was made. Lovely food at a lovely traditional Sicilian restaurant overlooking Savoca - amazing scenery. Everyone was lovely and friendly and did honey and wine tasting too. Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone going to Taormina. Thank you Bruno.
