Quero agradecer ao guia Mario pelo excelente passeio que nos proporcionou. Somos brasileiros, e ele falou conosco em espanhol, entendemos tudo que ele comunicou. Me enviou whatsapp no dia do passeio para nos dizer em qual saída do porto que ele estava nos esperando, cumpriu os horários e respondeu com clareza às perguntas que lhe fizemos. Do Monte Etna fomos a Taormina, onde tivemos tempo livre. Foi excelente! Obrigada

Mario was an outstanding guide. He made sure the tour was suitable for myself and my two teens! We hit all the highlights and had an incredible time. Lots of great little stops to ensure we got the full experience in Sicily. We would definitely hook him again.
