Ätna und Weinprobetour von Taormina - privat oder gemeinsam

This tour and our guide was excellent. We enjoyed the drive up the mountain volcano. The cable car further up was a nice experience. Later the lunch and wine tasting was very well done. We would highly recommend this tour.

Claudio was an excellent well informed and avid guide. Informative and fun, the sunset view was beautiful. It was nice to meet new people and share experiences from everyones trips and from the guides experiences too! Thank you for a memorable time.

10/10, very interesting tour and really nice guide

This was one of the highlights of our Sicily trip. Our guide, Ita, was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, organized, and enthusiastic throughout the entire day. One of the funniest moments happened right at the start. Despite being American, I have an Italian last name, so somehow I ended up assigned to the Italian-speaking guide. Once everyone realized I spoke English with a California accent, we all had a good laugh. Ita handled it perfectly, and it became a running joke throughout the excursion. We chose the private tour option for our family of three, and it was absolutely worth the extra cost. Traveling with our 15-year-old son, we appreciated having a more personalized experience and the flexibility that comes with a private guide. We were picked up directly at our hotel in a Jeep and enjoyed the scenic 45-minute drive to Mount Etna. Our son did great on the hike and thoroughly enjoyed the adventure. Having the guide’s full attention allowed us to ask questions, move at our own pace, and make the day feel less like a tour and more like a family adventure. The hike itself is no joke and should not be underestimated. We climbed to approximately 7,000 feet above sea level, and you definitely feel the elevation when you’re coming straight from the coast. We were told we reached roughly 65% of the way up Mount Etna before strong winds made it unsafe to continue higher. While we didn’t make the summit, the views were absolutely spectacular and more than worth the effort. A word of advice: rent the hiking boots if they’re offered. The volcanic terrain consists of loose ash, steep slopes, and rocky boulder fields. Regular tennis shoes simply would not have been adequate for many sections of the hike. The boots made a huge difference in both comfort and safety. After the hike, we enjoyed an incredible traditional Sicilian lunch paired with local wines. The wine tasting featured several excellent whites, Etna reds, and even a rosé. The food seemed endless. We were served a generous salami and cheese board, eggplant parmigiana, Italian cauliflower, caponata, arancine, and numerous other Sicilian specialties. Everything was delicious, and there was so much food that our family couldn’t come close to finishing it all. Between the unique volcanic landscape, the outstanding food and wine, and Ita’s excellent guiding, this excursion exceeded our expectations. If you’re considering a Mount Etna tour, come prepared for a real hike, rent the boots, bring your appetite, and enjoy one of the most memorable experiences Sicily has to offer.

Experience was even better than we could have imagined Claudio was so accommodating, kind, thoughtful and extremely knowledgeable He and his girlfriend are so passionate about Mt Etna and we learned so much The wine tasting was fabulous, wines were excellent and we were served so much food and all of it was delicious We thoroughly enjoyed every minute and would highly recommend this tour Thank you Claudio!

Absolutely amazing! Alessandro output guide was so pleasant and professional! Want sure what to expect but it was awesome!

Excellent tour. Guide was excellent volcanologist and passionate about the mountain. Highly recommended it.

Fantastic day with Salvo on tour of Mt Etna. Did the optional quad bike safari and it was great - views were spectacular. Food/wine tasting was well organised. Overall a really enjoyable day.

Great experience overall. Everything worked out as promised (pick-up etc) and the tour on Aetna and Taormina was a very memorable experience crowned by beautiful weather. Florence was the perfect tour guide: pleasant, knowlegable, caring and with the right dose of attention. Highly recommend.

Our experience was phenomenal. Our guide Salvo R. was incredible he is very knowledgeable about Mt. Etna and brought our tour alive. We learned so much from him and our grateful for guidance. Salvo R. really enjoys his work and it shows in his treatment of those in his tour. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone lucky enough to come to Taormina. It definitely is a tour to consider.
