The ultimate Mount Etna tour-highly recommended!
We booked this tour to Mount Etna and this was spectacular from start to finish! Gianni our tour guide pick us up right on time in a comfortable vehicle and drove us up to some of the most breathtaking lava fields and extinct craters. Gianni made our entere group fell completely safe, providing excellent safety gear, checking on everyone’s pace and navigating the volcanic terrain effortlessly. Gianni was incredible passionate, sharing great stories about how local life and agriculture adapt to the volcano! Gianni and the other guide brought us into a stunning volcanic lava cave where they explained about the cave history and legends of the region! Very interesting and fascinating! They are very knowledgeable and wonderful tour guides!
The tour ended with a visit to the Gambino winery where we tested the Gambino wines all then with a great quality and good taste! Very recommended!
Gianni was above an beyond to make this a magical day over the clouds!

Highly recommended
This was a nice introduction to traditional foods of Catania. Julia was a lovely guide who provided information about the food as well as Catania. She took us to several places, some of which we returned to a few days later. It was a relaxed walk around the city, sampling different types of foods. A very friendly group to spend a few hours with, tasting traditional foods and chatting. Food tours are a great way to be introduced to a city. Recommended.

Fantastic
Very easy to book the experience, our plans changed and I had to add a person and that was done easily through WhatsApp chat. The tour was fascinating,very well organised, it took about an hour in a van from our b&b(where we got collected) we had a lovely tasting experience, then cave education and then nice and relaxed walk up to mount Etna. Really nice and educational and we will have wonderful pictures and memories forever

Amazing Etna Trek
Danilo was a great guide! He was kinda and social and gave us some really cool information, you can tell he loves what he does. The trek was beautiful because we had unusually clear weather so I felt very lucky! Make sure you dress in layers because it can be cool and also warm since you are climbing a mountain. I was picked up and dropped off from my hotel as well. 10/10 Recommend

We had eight people in...
We had eight people in our group which made it a nice small number so we were able to see everything well. We drove about an hour up to Mount Etna. Our van was an eight passenger van, so it was smaller than your typical tour bus. We were able to see many of Mt. Etna's sights including a lava tube. Paolo, our guide, was the reason I gave this tour a five. He was so knowledgeable and so much fun.

A great Etna adventure!
We really enjoyed our tour of mt. etna and the surrounding areas. It was great getting out of the city and going for a hike in nature. Our guide was very kind and knowledgeable. The lunch stop felt authentic and had lots of delicious options. We recommend bringing comfortable walking shoes for the hike portion as well as water shoes for the gorge to be able to comfortably explore all stops on the tour.

Getting a local guide is the way to go
We met Elena, our guide, at the port after our tender dropped us off. Elena was very personable and friendly, and was totally open to how we wanted to customize the tour. She had a great suggestion for heading up to Castelmona first, where she took us to a great pub/bar with some “interesting” decorations. She explained about the various parts of the area, and then later we drove down to Taormina, where we went to a great Arancino spot, which was amazing. We never would have found it or the other sites without Elena’s first hand knowledge of the area. We were very happy with Elena and was glad to hear she was ok after Mt. Etna erupted the day our ship left port.

Do not even hesitate to...
Do not even hesitate to take this tour- it was AMAZING !
Alessandro definitely takes pride he what he does and it shows. From our initial booking, with me sending him a barrage of texts with questions ( via WhatsApp ) he ALWAYS responded in a timely fashion. In addition coordinating our pick up times and drop off with the ships schedule was effortless. The tour itself was so informational and his knowledge down to every last detail was fantastic. Got to see and do a lot of things on this magnificent tour !

Etna guided tour
Did an Etna guided tour with small walk, visited a cave and then relaxed at the family farm for lunch. Luca our guide was great - very knowledgeable with interesting stories and was even a crack photographer! Great day had by all of us in an amazing part of Italy.

Friendly driver in a new, clean, comfortable vehicle.
Early morning transfer from taormina to Catania. Our driver arrived 10 minutes early and patiently waited for us to check out and get ready to go. He was super friendly and the van was new, clean, and comfortable. We arrived safely and on time. Highly recommend this transfer.

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!

Fabulous trip!!! Grazie Martino!
Our driver Martino was simply the best. We were fortunate enough to only be two of us on our tour. Martino was so friendly. We exchanged stories and interesting facts, discussed movies that we all like, he even got his mother to give me her recipe for ricotta cheese! It was like we spent the day with a friend not just a tour guide!
