Should I join a photography tour or explore Taormina on my own?

For iconic locations like the Greek Theatre and Isola Bella, a self-guided walk is flexible and free. But for Etna's craters and caves, a guided tour is essential—you'll get expert knowledge and access to restricted areas. The Etna: Exclusive 4x4 Excursion to Craters and Volcanic Caves is a great choice for photographers wanting unique volcanic.
