First stop: Monti Sartorius or the craters formed in 2002 on the north-east side of Etna), our naturalistic guide will introduce you to the fascinating world of volcanic phenomena.
Second stage: You will explore a cave of volcanic origin (for example the "Grotta dei Ladroni" or the "Grotta Cassone") equipped with the necessary equipment (helmets and torches). During the winter the visit to the cave is not carried out in the event of significant snowfall or ice at the entrance which would make entry dangerous.
Third stage: If weather conditions permit, you will be able to make a typical Sicilian snack based on 'hot table'. Otherwise, lunch will take place indoors at a lovely mountain farm.
Fourth stage: In the afternoon you will reach Taormina where, independently, you can visit its elegant course that separates the medieval gates of the city, Porta Catania and Messina.

Great tour. Got to see Mt. Etna and Taormina. The Mt. Etna guide was very knowledgeable. Lunch was provided and delicious.

The views from Mt. Etna we’re amazing. Taormina was gorgeous as well. It was a great way to see Sicily.

Pickup/drop off was very handy and very prompt. Dario was very courteous and patient. It was a small hike, not very strenuous. There were areas where I wished I had requested trekking shoes for the kids (8yrs old) because rocks kept getting in their sneakers and they would have helped when hiking down slopes. It was cooler (up in the mountain) than I thought for a July day but the light jackets helped, if I could do it again, I would have them wear light pants that we could quickly switch out when walking around Taormina (Etna +Taormina tour) because it was extremely hot in Taormina. I wish we had 3 hrs in Taormina vs 2, it would have given us a chance for lunch and a bit more time to roam around. The tour does provide a quick picnic lunch with small Sicilian delicacies of stuffed bread and wine before heading back down the mountain and to Taormina, but we would have liked time to try out one of the restaurants. Oh, no bathrooms (besides the outdoors) until our arrival in Taormina (3pm). It was easy for my son, but not so much for my daughter who dislikes having to squat in the bushes. Overall we had a great time. Thank you!
