We visited Sicily for approx a month in January. We decided not to drive ourselves and used a company called Taormina Transfer. They are extremely flexible and will do as little as transfer you from Catania airport to Taormina or arrange a trip all around Sicily with day tours like they did for us. Always on time and very pleasant. Maria and Massimo were great and nothing was too much trouble. We highly recommend them.

I am a wheelchair user. Our hotel reception booked N.C.C. to take myself and sister to Mount Etna. Antonino arrived on time and put wheelchair into boot and assisted me into car. He was extremely kind during the trip and it was a pleasure to meet him.

Thanks to this tour you will have the opportunity to experience unique emotions, mixed with amazement and fear, for the breathtaking scenery and views but also the devastating and merciless power of the volcano that with its lava flows sweeps everything and changes the ambiance for centuries. But the volcano is also a big good brother for local people, giving them the fruits of the fertile land that you can taste first at the honey farm and then at the winery, thus immersing yourself in the aromas and flavors typical of this wonderful land full of contrasts.

First off, I booked this tour December 30th at about 8:30pm via Viator fir Dec 31st tour. The operator emailed me right away to clarify things that made the tour go smoothly. When we arrived in Catania at 5:40 early in the morning, our driver Danilo was was waiting for us already. We had an early start, meaning our time was not wasted at all. When we reached in Taormina, I asked Danilo to check if we can add done of the Godfather places to check and he called his boss right away and was confirmed we can do it. I was happy and appreciated the flexibility. We were able to check the places that I wanted to go. Just a reminder, our driver is not a licensed tourist guide but he tells us where to go and drop us off and pick us up like “door to door”. I would suggest to google the best places to visit and tell the driver what you most like to visit and read all about it. You will appreciate more if you know the story behind that particular area. This tour works perfectly for us. Thank you Danilo for doing above and beyond of what you are doing. Cheers!

We decided to go visit Mt Etna and it was one of the highlights of our trips to Sicily. The booking of the excursion itself was easily done with the help of Andrea who provided us with all the requested information. On the day itself we met our guide Janet who first brought us to collect the necessary gear and then took us to commence our adventure on Mt Etna. Janet is a passionate geologist/vulcanologist who showed us some very interesting things during the walk, and helped us understand the different stages of eruptions as well as the different types of lava and the ways they present itself. A packed lunch and water was provided for us by Etna Experience. The whole day we saw stunning views at different altitudes, combinations of colors in the sorrounding forrest and the famous cave "Grotta dei Lamponi". It was a very informative and fun experience, I would recommend it to anyone visiting Sicily.
