This is a good way to visit both Etna and Taormina. You're essentially paying for round trip transposition. My guide Gabriele was friendly. I opted for the quad bike tour at Etna instead of the summit bus, it cost 65€ extra and was a good time. The wine/food tasting at the enoteca was also good. Then we had 2 full hours to explore Taormina on our own which was sufficient.

Moreno hosted our tour today and I could not fault the day. He had a genuine passion to show us the best of Sicily and his knowledgeable approach made the day memorable. He is a real asset to Etnatribe and coming from a customer facing industry, he was outstanding and I’d recommend this tour to anyone who visits Sicily.

Couldn’t fault anything. Carmelo was not only extremely knowledgeable and informative, but very careful to point out any health or other risks for potential activities we could try on Etna. He made organising our quad bike tour which was fantastic, easy. He painted a fabulous picture of the geography, history and people of Catania and Taormina. Our wine and food tasting at the Palmento Ragalna was excellent. Would highly recommend this tour to people of all ages. Carmello was an excellent guide.

It was a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide Mr. Pepe was outstanding. He organised everything we needed and guided us well. The testing of wine and olive oils were the bonus.

My husband and I with two American friends booked a tour with Etna Tribe to visit Etna and Taormina in April. Our guide was Andrea Sciacca who proved to be a most charming, amiable, and experienced individual. His knowledge of Catania and its surrounding area, along with the various cultures that influenced its history, and good command of English made our day truly satisfying and complete. Despite finding inclement weather on Etna, Andrea turned the day into a positive experience with a visit to the ENOTECA dell’Etna for an oil/wine/appetizers event before continuing to Taormina. I highly recommend Andrea Sciacca as a tour guide.

We spent the day with Francesco and he was amazing! We chose to simply hike instead of do the cable car and I think it was the right decision. Spectacular views tons of knowledge, overall, a great day. Forewarned when it says nine hours, it could be a bit longer depending on number of passengers to pick up and drop off. I would highly recommend if you want to see a lot in a short amount of time.
