Fantastic day trip of Sicily and highlight of our two week vacation! We took the 5am ferry from Malta to Sicily and were picked up within 5 minutes of arrival (then took the 9:30pm ferry back to Malta that evening). Our guide and driver, Giovanni, was just fantastic - personable, knowledgeable and very accommodating. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. In addition to the scheduled stops (all of which are fantastic), we also strolled by the beach in Pozzallo, stopped at a couple cafes and found a fantastic bread shop in the small town outside of Mt. Etna - best focaccio I've ever had. The views from Mt. Etna are stunning, and Syracuse and Taormina are fantastic cities to explore. Our only complaint is that we didn't spend more time in Sicily!
