Our tour guide Michael was amazing. He provided lots of information about Messina and Sicily. We loved the stop to get olive oil & wine. Mt Etna was wonderful as well as the city of Taormina. Then we got to stop and see the clock tower & church in Messina. A terrific day!

Absolute bad experience with this excursion. First of all, they park quite far from disembarking area. Have to walk a lot. But it is nothing in compare with what they have done! We have booked a PRIVATE tour, and paid for this, once we got to the meeting point, they advised that we will be waiting for other group! Finally there were 11 people all together. Tour guide called the boss and some one has said that driver was sick and they organised the a group tour. I have never received any apology or refund neither from the company, no from Viator. They should be responsible for such things as well. But the best punishment - never use Viator again. There are plenty other companies who provide this service. BTW, a guide was not a brilliant one, not much information.

We were on a cruise ship for the day and booked this tour since it was our fist time in Sicily. We had a great time. Mt. Etna was something to see. It's a beautiful drive.
We then went to Taormina, and had a wonderful time walking through the village and shopping. It was a great day, and would love to go back to Taormina. Our guide was great. She had suggestions for gelato and restaurants.
Another reviewer said she was disappointed the guide did not stay with them in Taormina. We liked having the time to ourselves to enjoy lunch and shopping. I don't know why you'd want a guide with you for that. The town is very easy to navigate.
We enjoyed our tour and recommend them. We were back in plenty of time to board the ship.
