Unforgettable Day - This is our second time in Sicily and this tour represents all the beauty of the island. The mountains and the sea.
Our guide Francesco was kind and never rushed us. The arancini were tasty. Thank you for the unforgettable day.

Don’t miss Mt. Etna and Alessandra as your guide! - Trip date- April 2024-Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Alessandra was prompt and communication was excellent. She shared lots of local knowledge about the area and even more about Mt. Etna! It was a perfect amount of time and a great way to see Mt. Etna and the Taormina coastline. Following the Etna tour we had lunch in a city park space that looked out to the sea. Lunch was great and made locally. Alessandra helped us with our order. We opted for local beer with our sandwiches for something different. From there we went to the marina to catch a boat. One other couple joined us there. Our captain was fabulous and a unique perspective of Taormina area from the sea. This is where we had our sparkling wine.

Excellent experience - We had an amazing experience and highly recommend! We had our tour with Elena and cannot say enough how wonderful she was. She was so informative and attentive. The private tour is well worth it. After our volcano tour we had an enjoyable boat ride which was had amazing views!

Great tour! - We booked this tour after our amazing experience with this company and we are really glad we did! My husband and I have loved Mt. Etna, our guide Bruno was amazing. He shared very interesting information about the Volcano and the area and was very attentive. Etna landscapes are unforgettable! In the afternoon we had a boat tour around Giardini Naxos and Taormina bay, which was very relaxing. The panorama was absolutely beautiful. This is our second tour with Prestelli Sicily Tours and we will for sure choose the company for our future trips to Sicily. We really recommend!

Perfect Mt Etna & Boat Tour Combo - My husband and I booked this tour on our honeymoon and we would highly recommend it. Mt Etna was absolutely breathtaking, something you can’t describe until you see it in person. It was an experience we’ll never forget. Alessandra was our guide and she was amazing! She taught us some great facts about Etna, took us to a cave and made our experience enjoyable. We also loved that this included a boat tour. It was fun being able to anchor the boat and swim for a little. This tour was the perfect amount of time to experience both Etna and the ocean. I also want to say Prestelli Tours was very helpful, communicative and quick to respond when we had to switch our date last minute due to weather. Thank you Presstelli and Alessandra for such a great experience!

Ask For Elena - I’ve traveled far and wide and Elena was by far the greatest guide I’ve ever had. I would give her six stars if I could.

Don't miss this tour! - Fantastic day from start to finish with Luigi on the Volcano to Sea tour. A great tour of Mt Etna craters with Luigi providing a ton of information....he knew everything about the area. Stopped to view some of the caves created by past eruptions, then a stop for honey, wine, olive oils and arancini at a great cafe.
On to Giardini Naxos for an wonderful boat ride in Taormina Bay. Close up view of Isola Bella, grottos, swam, drank prosecco....could not ask for more. Luigi was a fantastic guide....thanks so much for a great day!!

Must-do Experience! - This was an excellent excursion! Going from the top of Mt. Etna then down to the sea for a cruise made for a very fun day. We even made stops in small downs around Etna to have a Sicilian lunch and check out some Etna specialities like honey, wine and olive oil. Our guide Maurizio was highly knowledgeable about the area because he grew up there. He took care of us from the moment he picked us up at the hotel until he dropped us off. It’s a long day, lasted around 8 hours, but very worth it. Highly recommend!
