My wife and I used Etnaexperience.com for our day trip to Mt Etna. Olga Paolo were all professional enthusiastic and most helpful If you are taking a trip talk to them first they were great anso the picnic supplied was excellent and more than plentiful more

It seems some tourists are not aware they are 9000 ft up a volcano. This is not the place for shorts and sandals; wear long pants, jackets, scarfs, earmuffs....anything to keep warm! The funicular and the jeep ride are not the most scenic but the experience at the top is unforgettable. Ridiculously cold and windy with the clouds reducing visibility... more

having read reviews from trip advisor 3 friends and myself booked with Sicily life for the etna experience trip. We had a fab day with Antonio as our guide. He spoke good English and was really well informed. He picked us up from the hotel at 9am and off we set for Mt Etna. We stopped for wine tasting on... more

We were on a Globus tour and had a free day in Taormina. We wanted to visit the hometown of 3 of my husband’s 4 grandparents with a stop at Mt. Etna on the return to our hotel. After a lot of research and posting a request for suggestions for private tour companies on tripadvisor’s Sicily forum, we received 3... more

Sicily (Messina) was another port of call on our Carnival Cruise. To be honest we weren't really looking forward to this stop. Mt Etna really didn't appeal to me, but I had to do something with the family. Booking with Sicily Life ended up being the smartest thing we did. Our after cruise assesment is that the Mt Etna/Taormina trip... more

I have no choice but to write a review on Trip Advisor. Trip Advisor is my number one choice when researching upcoming vacations. As a result of past reviews on Trip Advisor and an incredible day with Sicily Life (Sebastiano in paraticular), we now have a number one choice for tour companies in Sicily. From the moment Sebastiano met us... more

We were on Carnival's Freedom ship this July and were in Messina on July 4th. About 1 month or so before the trip, I booked with Michele Gallo and Sicilytravel.net. I had asked for a tour a bit different than the average one that usually takes you to where the cable cars are and then you're on your own. Michele... more

August 2008. Arrived at Refugio Sapienza just after 9. Make sure you allow plenty of time to get there - the mountain road can take longer than you think (it took us an hour and twenty from Taormina). The long trek was leaving at 10.30 which we didn't expect but it gave us plenty of time to look around at... more

Kudos to Sicily Life for providing my group of 12 (ages 15-54) with a very special day touring Mt. Etna, the Sicilian countryside, and Taormina. On a 12-day Carnival Freedom cruise as well a pre-cruise independent stay in Rome, we had arranged for private excursions/transport/tour guides in Rome, Amalfi/Pompeii, Sicily, Barcelona, and Pisa/Florence. It was a tour-intensive trip with many... more
