Etna Morning Trip

Jodie_W, Jul 2026

Danilo Knows Etna!!

Our guide, Danilo, made this experience so special! He was friendly, humorous, and highly knowledgeable about Etna and also Sicily in general. It was immediately clear that he was a great guide to have for this excursion. We felt safe on the walking portion of of Etna, inside the cave, and in the vehicle. Danilo shared photos and videos with us to enhance the experience. He spoke about the historical side and scientific side of Etna in ways that were engaging and easy to understand. We learned so much and this was truly a highlight of our trip to Catania!

Torimino and castlemola with views of Mt Etna

Toramina was our first stop and had a nice cup of cappuccino before the stores opened and made it through town to the theater 14euros and under 18 was free. Highly recommend the cannolis they fill in the booth. Our Driver did a stop before for nice pic of Mt Etna and did a nice job explaining the area. Went onto Castlemola for lunch and beautiful views.

Alexandru Is A Volcano Expert

If you want to have a tour with someone who is passionate beyond belief about volcanoes then Alexandru is your guide. He has an incredible knowledge that I have never experienced towards volcanoes. He told us he travels to volcanoes on every one of his vacations. That is the type of passion he has for them. The winery is also fantastic from the views to the wine to the amazing food pairings.

Volcanoes, Cascades and Pasta

Perfectly organised day. Experienced so much but it went so fast. The staff were friendly and relaxed. It was fun and ended with a beautiful swim in the cascades. There was quite a bit of walking which may be difficult for anyone with mobility issues. (Wear good socks due to small volcano stones which sneak into socks and can be annoying).

Great option for a low impact and fun Etna experience

Fun tour with local information, wine tasting and a short walk up an old crater. Pick up and drop off from hotel was very convenient. Our driver Alex and guide Alessandro were great. When a storm rolled in Alessandro guided is off the crater and got us off Etna quickly and safely. Highly recommend

Judith_K, May 2026

I really enjoyed the Etna...

I really enjoyed the Etna tour today. It was a very pleasant and easy-going experience from start to finish. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and well organized. Our guide, Alessandro, was friendly, knowledgeable and handled the very mixed group (different ages, nationalities and fitness levels) really well. We officially started with a tasting before walking around the Etna craters and later explored a lava cave while learning about volcanic rock flows. But honestly, the tour already started in the car ride up to Etna. Alessandro shared lots of interesting information about the villages, the landscape, local food, and the volcano itself throughout the drive. Overall, a very enjoyable and informative tour that I would definitely recommend.

Etna and Winery

We traveled about half way up Etna from Taormina with our friends. We explored calderas and lava caves(inactive). After this, we were taken to Gambino winery. Luca, our tour guide, was very informative, engaging, and took care of us. The tour lasted approximately 8 hours. Overall a great experience with Luca, I highly recommend! .

Etna Tour and Lunch in a Winery with Wine Tasting

Martino for the win!!

Our Etna Tour and Winery Lunch was hands-down one of the highlights of our entire trip to Sicily! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations—but the real star of the day was our guide, Martino. Martino was incredible—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about Sicily, Mount Etna, and the local culture. He didn’t just guide us…he brought the entire experience to life. Every stop felt thoughtful and personalized, and he made sure we were comfortable, entertained, and learning something new along the way. Exploring Mount Etna was surreal, and Martino’s insights made it even more fascinating. And then the winery…wow. The setting was stunning, the food was delicious, and the wine tasting was perfection. It felt like such an authentic Sicilian experience—relaxed, beautiful, and full of flavor. If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate—book it. And if you’re lucky enough to get Martino as your guide, you’re in for an amazing day you won’t forget!
