We provide shore excursions with your own personal guide and driver. Some suggestions from Palermo include: the city's local sights or Cefalù or the great Olive Oil experience. Suggestions from Messina include: popular day trips to Taormina or Mount Etna.

4 Wheeling 4 WHEELING
The most popular and amazing experience in Sicily is the 4x4 Jeep Excursion.  We provide two different jeep experiences:

 1.  The most popular is the ride to  Mount Etna, Europe's highest active volcano.  This departs from Catania or Taormina. We usually include a great lunch of typical Sicilian dishes at a farmhouse located on the slopes of Etna.

 2.  In our opinion, the Nebrodi Natural Park Jeep Excursion is the best!  This is because you can explore the lakes, the mountains and other amazing places and enjoy a picnic lunch. This 4x4 experience is available with departures from Catania, Messina or Taormina.
