Travelling by comfortable coach through Sicily's stunning landscapes, you will reach an altitude of approximately 1,900 metres on the slopes of Mount Etna. There will be time to admire the unique volcanic scenery, take memorable photographs or relax at one of the local cafés. Those wishing to explore further may choose an optional cable car ride, or a cable car and 4x4 vehicle experience to reach higher altitudes (available at an additional cost). These activities are subject to weather conditions and volcanic activity.
In the afternoon, continue to Taormina, often referred to as the "Pearl of the Mediterranean". This picturesque town is famous for its charming streets, Mediterranean gardens, elegant historic buildings and breathtaking views overlooking both the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna.

Reviews
Very interesting places, a unique collection of mummies. A wonderful guide, who tells stories not only interestingly but also with passion.
The trip was very well organized. The guide provided a wealth of interesting information about Etna. He took excellent care of the group throughout and guided them efficiently along the trail. The trip was not only interesting but also safe and enjoyable. It`s a shame that, for safety reasons, you can`t climb to the very top of Etna. I highly recommend it!
