 We just returned from a cruise that included a stop in Taormina.  8 of us had hired Mario for the full day.  Mario   was waiting for us as our tender approached the dock.  We were driven   in a very comfortable van to Mt. Etna where we hiked and took numerous   photos of the amazing Silvestri craters.  Mario provided cold beverages and pastries along with a passionate narrative of the area.

  Our group next elected to take the funicular up Mt. Etna.  Mario quickly purchased our tickets, allowing us to bypass the long line.  The views from the top were phenomenal.  
  We were next driven to Taormina where we saw the Greek theater, various   monuments, walked the streets, and had a delicious lunch.  
  Mario is very professional.  All of our   emails were promptly answered during the several months prior to our   arrival in Taormina.  He is very knowledgeable and passionate about his   love of Sicily as was reflected in his narrative during the day.
  We highly recommend Mario, and would choose him again for our next visit!
