We used Mario Astone
in Messina. Her gave us a wonderful day in Messina, Taormina and
Castelmola. I understand from other postings that he also does a tour
that takes you up to the craters at Mt. Etna.
I arranged a tour for the other part of my group with Etna Experience.
They ddid a private tour just the 4 of them with with a licensed
driver/guide who specialized in volcanos. They went to the volcano and
also visited the gorge, and inside a lava cave. Also included was lunch
and wine at the Gambino winery. I can vouch that the wine is really
good since they brought us back a few bottles. They made it back to the
ship on time and both groups had perfect days with the things they
wanted to see.
