Self tour by local taxi. We were approached on arrival by taxi driver and we wanted to go to Taormina. We paid $30per person for 7 of us to take us both ways and wait 3 hours. Being on deck 4 we were straight off the ship and on our way. We then added another stop at Savoca where they filmed the Godfather so total was $45 per person. Taormina was lovely, it had amazing street food and ...

Found my wife's next Furla and enjoyed the people, food and views. A Can't Miss if you have never been there. Etna was covered in clouds that day, but we need to have another reason to go back. Great sail away here as well as Malta. ...
Guide was nice but her accent was so heavy that she was difficult to understand over the headphones. Another tour that would have been perfect if we had more free time. ...
