 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.
