Rent a car with driver for a tour in Sicily or without the driver? The immediate answer that leaves no room for interpretation is "Rental of a car with driver"
We have talked about it on other occasions, on the reasons that lead us to suggest this solution to you. It's a solution that takes the stress out of driving in an unfamiliar region. And what about city traffic and the lack of parking in our cities? The risk is to find yourself driving around for hours looking for a parking space. And spend the days of vacation in a stressful search for a parking space. You must also add the insurance cost to the car rental cost. Very high, because, due to car thefts, Sicily has the highest costs in Italy!
Here the car rental that seemed low cost suddenly becomes high to which the stress of driving is added and you end up spending more.
Without a doubt, we suggest renting a car with driver because it is more relaxing and safer. Knowledge of the area is essential to discover those places that are often not indicated in tourist brochures and our drivers are real tourist guides. We will accompany you in the discovery of this splendid region, already preparing you during the journey on the places you are going to visit to be ready to fully enjoy the spectacle that nature offers us. From the sea to the mountains we will take you to ancient fishing villages and other perched villages with the ancient fortifications still intact. These wonders are distributed throughout the Sicilian territory and our drivers know them perfectly.
Our tours for those who rent a car with driver.
While on the one hand we are open to any initiative and desire, for those coming on holiday to Sicily, we have a series of proposals that cover the entire region.
Etna tour
We begin to describe the most requested tour, the Etna tour or trip to Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe. We pick up our guests directly at the hotel and head directly to one of the refuges on the slopes of the volcano from where we will continue with the cars equipped for the dirt roads due to the continuous volcanic eruptions. The stage towards the Silvestri mountains, born from ancient volcanic eruptions of which huge extinct craters remain for a unique show in the world!
From the Silvestri craters to the active craters of Etna for an excursion to the craters of the top of the volcano
We are getting closer and closer to the apical area of the volcano and very close to the five main eruptive craters. In 1911, the North-East Crater was born on the northern flank of the Central Crater. Subsequently, the Voragine (in 1945) and the Bocca Nuova (in 1968) were formed inside the Central Crater. In 1971, the Southeast Crater formed on the southeastern flank of the Central Crater, which remained active until 2007. Then the New Southeast Crater also began to grow, resting on the eastern flank of the "old" Crater Southeast. A history made up of continuous eruptions that continuously modify the morphology of the volcano. We ourselves will never get tired of so much wonder and every time it's like visiting a new place.
The Etna tour continues with a food and wine itinerary to discover Etna products
Tired but satisfied, the tour on Etna continues to discover the food and wine present on the slopes of the volcano. Nicolosi, Zafferana Etna, Piedimonte Etna to discover the best honey in Europe, tastings of extra virgin olive oil from the "Nocellara Etnea" cultivar and porcini mushrooms from the Etna undergrowth. We return to the hotel in the evening, tomorrow another unmissable tour awaits us.
Tour of Catania and the coast of the Cyclops: Acitrezza and Aci Castello
The driver, as for the other tours, will pick you up at the hotel and head towards the eastern coast of Sicily until you reach Catania. But first a stop to admire the stacks of the fishing village of Acitrezza (three high islands in the shape of a column); according to local legend, these large stones are the ones thrown at Ulysses in the Odyssey. The island is called by the locals "Islands of the Cyclops" (isola dei Ciclopi, or Isole dei Ciclopi). and subsequently to Aci Castello from where you can admire the Ionian coast from a unique context in the world.
Continue to Catania. The historic center is wonderful and full of monuments. We leave Catania to return, but first we visit "a piscaria", as the people of Catania call it, a very characteristic fish market where you can capture the true soul of the people of Catania.
