No messing about with stop off to "taste or buy" produce, first stop small hike to the cave, then main hike to a crater and stunning views, then a wonderful lunch (one pasta dish, bottled water, and coffee) all included in the price, then stop off at the Gorge which was totally amazing! Thank you so so much for a fantastic experience 💗

Best and most relaxed Sicily tour

this was a great small group tour. Just 4 of us in the tour. Michele was our driver and tour guide. He was very informative and knowledgeable on our drive from Catania to Taormina. The time at the stops is on your own. Had plenty of time to explore and enjoy the local culture

Alex had a great deal of knowledge on volcanoes and Sicily he shared. It was have been great to dive more into the wider history of the islands and diversify the information. Gambino winery was excellent and they were generous with food and wine, but ren minutes to have an espresso outside after a meal and enjoy the grounds would have been appreciated. Lastly, please include the inclusions on the trip in the booking like F&B as we all packed snacks and share an itinerary with timings once we are all on board

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.

Perfect day in magestic Sicilian nature.

Perfect! Thank you so much Marialaura, for sharing your passion for mother Etna with us. You took care of each team member's safety and comfort, explained in Italian and English. You created the perfect atmosphere for a very relaxing, interesting day in nature. Thank you for ur special surprise. Your excellent driving skills and patience are truly impressive and appreciated. We felt very safe with you at the wheel. We could sit back and enjoy the trip. Having 6 people in the group was so nice, because it allows for a more relaxing and shared experience. We are so glad that we chose the Italian option (because the English option was already booked out). There were no problems to understand,, share and enjoy. The cultural exchange was great. The 5 start rating says "good". Our experience was perfect. Thank you Marialaura, for expanding our knowledge, and great memories and impressions that we will share with friends. George

Mt Etna and Wine tasting tour from Catania

Yvette_K, May 2026

A hike up Mt Etna a volcano in Catania Italy to remember!!

Hubby and I did the My Etna and wine tasting tour, and added going up further up the volcano. What an experience! I work in Disney World and I know a great guide and without a doubt Alessandro was off the charts. He was so knowledgeable about everything, hospitable beyond belief and navigated our group of 8 with finesse.I quickly made friendships that I hope will last a lifetime; I mean we were on a volcano together can’t say that about just anyone.The walk up was a bit of a struggle but this is when I really saw the unity, we helped each other through it, I was asked by a few are you ok? I saw women with their arms around others to help them stay the course and our guide Alessandro kept an eye on us all while offering support and encouragement, to help us meet our goals. Afterwards we had our wine tasting paired with a few appetizers and we as a group collectively got to know each other on a more intimate level, relaxed and with that monumental task behind us, we laughed and shared our thoughts. What a wonderful experience, I can’t say enough. I hope to come back again and maybe meet up with my new found friends❣️ Many thanks to my newest friend Alessandro.

A must do tour

Luca was great!! He was very knowledgeable about Mt Etna and made sure to answer any and all questions. We went when it was still snowy and it was still very fun. They provided boots for those of us that forgot to pack them, which was appreciated. The winery was fantastic and offered so much food. The pairings were excellent.

Great Day in October

Wow what an amazing day. Small groups are the best and our driver Martino made it even better. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. His knowledge of the region was very informative. If you like to get a taste of different towns in a day this excursion is for you. The architecture of the region is beautiful. We visited a number of churches in the towns that gives you a nice snapshot of the area history. The time is not rushed and we feel we had time to see what we wanted. Views are amazing and this time of year the crowds are very manageable. Again a shout out to Martino who made it an amazing day. We highly recommend this tour.
