Reviewed October 27, 2011

This tour was wonderful, a highlight of our trip to Taormina. The guide, Greta, made the trip very exceptional with her narration, wit and kindness to all the patrons. We learned so much more about Sicily and how much she loves her home, and were grateful recipients of her shared stories. And when we met her fox friend at the... More

“Easy way to see Etna from a close distance”

Reviewed October 22, 2011

person found this review helpful

We took "Etna Round" tour, using a discount when booking in advance through SAT web site. We did not have much time in Taormina, and we definitely wanted to see Etna, and tour Siracusa. For Siracusa, we did it by ourselves going by train, to have plenty of time to walk the places we wanted. To see Etna from a... More

“Overpriced and underperforming”

Reviewed October 12, 2011

I opted for the "Alcantara round Etna" tour- 87 Euro per person. It was certainly helpful that SAT picked us up from our hotel, but for the price, the service was very disappointing.. After about 45 minutes collecting and waiting for other participants at different collection points around Taormina we set off for Alcantara. Here, we were asked to pay... More

“Generally excellent - one or two reservations”

Reviewed October 5, 2011

people found this review helpful

I completely agree with MalcH about the Agrigento/Piazza Armerina and Panarea/Stromboli tours. Both excellent and worth the money for the hassle-free experience. Agrigento is stunning and the mosaics at the Villa Romano del Casale fascinating. Stromboli erupting was the highlight. We also went to Siracusa, which was slightly disappointing as explained below. My main reservation with the tours is regarding... More

We have made a trip with SAT from Taormina to Palermo. First thing, the motorways cafés in which the bus stopped were really bad (I had to throw away a brioche because it tasted really awful). I suspect that they have an agreement with such places. The guide that was given us in Palermo was impolite and hasty. In Palermo... More
