If you are staying in Taormina and want to see more of Sicily I thoroughly recommend SAT Group Tours. My wife and I went on two tours, the first on 4th September to Agrigento and Piazza Armerina and the second on 5th September to Etna. We thoroughly enjoyed both and on each Alfredo, the tour guide, kept us entertained and... more

We didn't quite expect the trip to to see the eruptions at Stromboli to take all day, but with sunset at 9 o'clock in the evening, then it was understandable that we wouldn't be back until gone midnight.

Luckly, I immediately found the key for doing it. My hotel... more

I thought that both of the tour guides we had weren't very good at translating into english - their italian and... more

We went on the SAT tour of Mount Etna - booking in their office, 73 the Corso, in Taormina, the day before is fine. It was excellent. They take you up in a "jeep" taking about 20 people, on large wheels, which lurches up the dust tracks to the top. You can then walk to craters, and get a great... more
