Do not hesitate and just book this trip. Absolutely outstanding in all areas. Our tour guide, Giuseppe, picked us up right on time and we headed up the mountain. He spoke with knowledge and passion about Mount Etna. When we arrived we did the crater tunnel first then headed to our trek route. My husband at this point decided to go up to the top point and Giuseppe arranged this. Me and the other couple then trekked around the lower craters, including the Silvestri. There was ample time to get a coffee and meander amongst the shops. We then headed to the wine tasting. Unbelievable service. I though we would get a few crostini...be prepared, it more like a full meal. Four different Etna wines to pair. The winery was called Enoteca and is a community space. Absolutely beautiful. We were then delivered back to our hotel for a sleep after....just book. You'll not have an amazing experience.
Our favorite day of our Sicily trip. Great guide, volcano visit options for different ability levels, delicious food and wine tasting experience, and a lovely group to spend the day with.
We did a private tour since there were 11 of us. It was an unforgettable experience as a hailstorm occurred while we were mid hike to Etna. We were soaking but it was part of the adventure. We knew weather could change while we were there so while we didn’t think the rain would be that bad, it was definitely memorable. Our wine tasting lunch was a great treat after. There were plenty of wine and food to keep us stuffed! Would recommend this experience!
Stefano the best guide super hike with him, super friendly,helpfull gave us the best insights and was there for everyones needs, get Stefano always, big up to him I rate 1000 stars
Great day out with an excellent and very helpful guide. Etna was amazing and 2 full free hours in Taormina was perfect.
Perfect experience with an excellent tour guide! I recommend to everyone
Great experience, very friendly guides, explain the history of the city and volcano very well, recommend greatly.
Excellent experience. We elected to walk to a recently formed volcanic crater over taking the cable car to Etna’s summit. Our guide was informed, dependable, and humorous, and the hike was manageable for a variety of skill and fitness levels. Large elevation gain to keep in mind, however. The wine tasting was delightful. We had lively conversation with other American tourists and enjoyed tasting a variety of reds, whites, and dessert liqueurs, accompanied by lunch fare over the course of about two hours.
Great day in a group of four, our guide Thomas was respectful and interesting.
I really enjoyed the experience and the knowledge with our tour operator Salvo R. He explained everything so well and we learned a lot about Mount Etna and the importance of it in Sicilian life. He made us feel welcome and comfortable during the hiking. I also loved the degustation of products like oil, and wine.
