Yes. Many guests choose an itinerary with Mount Etna in the morning and Taormina in the afternoon, with free time to walk through the old town, visit the Greek Theatre, or enjoy the beach. The exact timing is flexible and customized for your group.
Is a guide included in the price?
No, the Etna Taxi Van service includes private transportation only. Mountain guides, hiking tours, cable car tickets, and 4×4 jeeps are not included but can be booked separately through local partners.
How high does the minivan take us on Etna?
Our Mercedes Van will take you comfortably to Rifugio Sapienza at around 1900 m above sea level. From there, you can choose to go higher on Etna using the cable car and 4×4 jeeps or join a guided hike, paying directly on site.
