Resplan
Vi kommer att nå södra sidan av Etna och nå en höjd av 2000 meter, där det kommer att vara möjligt att gå på de nu utdöda silvestri-kratrarna och beundra den hisnande utsikten som den höjden erbjuder, det finns också barer, restauranger och souvenirbutiker att ta med du ett minne av berget
Valle del Bove är en stor bassäng belägen på den östra sidan av vulkanbyggnaden Etna, inom det skyddade området av Etnaparken. Bildandet av denna depression spåras tillbaka till 64 000 år sedan på grund av kollapsen av eruptivet centra för Trifoglietto I och Trifoglietto II, föregångare till Etna. Sänkningen av de två kratrarna bildade en kaldera som var 1 kilometer djup och 5 kilometer bred.
Zafferana Etnea kallas även honungens stad, det är ingen slump att vi kan besöka Oro d'Etna, det bästa företaget som producerar honung i området, och det kommer att vara möjligt att få en gratisprovning av honung, typiska produkter, olivolja olja och vin.
Slutligen når vi Gambino Vini, en av de mest kända vingårdarna i Etnaområdet, deras fina viner kommer att få din upplevelse på Etna att avslutas sött genom att låta dig smaka deras bästa viner, kombinera dem med god mat, typiska lokala produkter och vid km 0.

We had a great day with our guide Roberto. We were just two people and had a large, comfortable van all to ourselves. Roberto was easy to understand and informative without being intrusive. He gave us options on what we wanted to do on Etna e.g., different levels of hikes or go to the top via the cable car or off-road bus. Etna is beautiful and very interesting. There are hikes for all levels of interest, ability and adventurousness. We ended our day at Gambino winery which was terrific. The grounds are very pretty and the wines excellent. We expected the included snacks at Gambino to be just a charcuterie board but it turned out to be a very substantial charcuterie board, plus an entree, plus dessert, all of which was a nice surprise as the wine tasting pours are much more generous then we ever recall getting at another vineyard, bordering on full glasses, so it was good to have a bit more substantial lunch.
Overall, the one-day excursion around Mt. Etna was excellent. We visited a couple of sites around Mt. Etna, including the Silvestri Craters and a winery. Manuel, our driver, interacted with us in a very balanced and comfortable way — neither too much nor too little — which allowed us to enjoy a relaxed and private atmosphere. He was also flexible with the itinerary. Due to availability issues at Gambino Winery, he took us to an alternative winery where we enjoyed a more intimate setting and a delicious lunch. The excursion started at 8:30 a.m. and finished around 3:00 p.m. in Catania. Driving around Catania can be challenging for travelers, so we highly recommend this private tour.
The transfer to the south side of Etna was fine we saw the shops and Gabrielle assisted with our chair lift tickets . We had no guided tour of Silverstri craters At the south side, it wad however not explained about the bus nor the 2 km walk beyond that , you should update the tour description to make that clearer. We always knew we had to pay for the chair lift but we did not even know about the bus which was a highlight we ended up paying more for , just make it clearer so people u deter and what is on offer There was little to no commentary on the history of Etna which was disappointing and what little commentary was provided eg 1991 eruption was provided competing with music that was to loud The schedule was to include Valle De Bove which did not occur We declined the admission to Oro d’erna The lunch at Gambino was great - five stars for this part Eratic driving on the way back also made me quite nauseous after lunch The other thing that was not explained is tour description mentioned an optional visit to Taormina but nothing on those optional logistics was mentioned and should have been given the winery seemed quite close to Taormina Overall a rating of 3
We had a fantastic time and visited some great sights! It was a personalised experience rather than a group tour, which was great also. Thank you for the super experience!
The olive oil & honey from Mt Etna are INCREDIBLE because of incredibly fertile volcanic soil & the region's unique climate, which provide perfect conditions for olive trees & diverse flowers that feed the the bees. This combo produces crazy distinct & intense flavors for oils and honeys and omg it was just wow. This tour gives you a taste of all of it. What a joy it was. Thank you Manuel for a wonderful day!!
We had a wonderful day with our guide, Sandra. She was very knowledgeable and enthustiasric! We got to see Etna, try amazing wine, and more. Our feeling was that we got to see a lot during the day without feeling stressed, and with a comfortable ride.
Our tour guide Gabriele was very knowledgeable and pleasant. He was very accommodating to 2 slow moving seniors. He provided a great tour of Mt Etna. Our tasting and lunch at Gambino Vini was very good, most enjoyable. We would use Gabriele for tours in the future.
Wonderful day seeing Mt. Etna. Wine tasting was great. Good wine and lots of tasty food. Manual was a great guide throughout the day. Highly recommend.
This was a highlight of our Sicily trip. Gabriele (our driver and personal tour guide) couldn't have been more amazing. We were taken up to Mount Etna via a lovely honey farm and some great viewpoints! Gabriele knew everyone and everywhere to go. He got us good discounts, past queues of tour groups quickly and gave us lots of information in a relaxed manner. The winery was excellent (too much wine!) and Gabriele waited while we indulged. Our only complaint was that we couldn't spend more time with him on our trip (he was also available for Montalbano tours). 100% recommend this experience.
We had an amazing day with Manuel! He picked us up close to our hotel and we headed off for Mount Etna! Along the way we stopped at a honey farm where we were able to taste different flavors of honey. Also, We were given an education about the bees! A quick note: this was the most economical place to purchase the honey. We continued our journey, stopping along the way in a quaint town, where we visited that beautiful cathedral. Then we headed to Mount Etna! The views were breathtaking! Manual took pictures of our group at all of our stops, he was very very kind. We stopped at a restaurant on the mountain and we enjoyed chocolate tastings and some of creamier alcoholic drinks that are sold all over Sicily. Both were delicious. It was nice to be able to sample the products. We then went off the beaten path to enjoy a stunning area in a private serene place. He taught us all about the chestnut trees, the volcano, and the history of the area. We ended our tour at the famous Gambino winery. I can’t say enough good about this place. It was beautiful and the wines were outstanding. We had a pairing with many different foods and many different wines! You will not leave hungry! Each table was appointed, an educator about the wines and the food -which were all local to the area. The 2015 Etna wines were our favorite! He delivered us back to our hotel! Safely (you will know what that means when you get here-lol). Manuel made this a very special day for our vacation here in Sicily with our friends.
