Great day with Filippo - Had a wonderful day on our tour with Fillipo and guide Sonia. We went to Mt. Etna and walked around the Silvestri craters. Then to Taormina where we had free time to walk the main street Corso Umberto and look at many shops. We ate a delicious cannoli and Gelato. Just breathe taking view from Piazza 9th of Aprile. Had a lovely lunch there at a local resturant suggested by Fillipo. Then got to see the beautiful view of the Strait of Messina and the amazing Duomo of Messina.Â

Wonderful tour! - This was an amazing tour! We drove to Mt. Etna and walked around and into a dormant volcanic crater, then went to Taormina and had a nice lunch and visited (not included in the tour) the Teatro Antico (buy tickets in advance so you don't have to stand in a long line) , and then into Messina for the most delicious cannoli. Lillo was a very good driver, so knowledgeable, pleasant to communicate with, and had lots of history to share with us! I highly recommend!

Wonderful Day - Beautiful experience. First of all we went up on Etna to see the lava flows and walk up on the craters.
Obviously it's a lot of things to see and we had to run, but Filippo (our awesome driver) gave us the perfect timing to do everything. After Etna we went to Taormina, we visited the town...he drove us along the coastline and we tested finally the famous sicilian granita.
On the way back he found the time to show us the highlights of Messina too.
We're glad to met Filippo, without him we couldn't have such a beautiful experience. Highly recommend !
