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.

Our guide Alfio was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly, providing great insights about local foods and traditions. We had so much food to eat that we got to take extra with us to savour later. His recommendations for the rest of our stay were truly appreciated.

Our tour guide Gianni was wonderful and so very sweet and kind! Just a gem! He was extremely helpful with physical limitations, and was a true gentleman with not only helping me walk down the steep terrain of Etna, but also helping someone who fell in our group as well. Would highly recommend him!

A hike of a semi-active volcano
Our guide, Danilo, was entertaining and very knowledgeable about volcanism. He filled us in on the history of the volcano and the various eruptions over the past. After being picked up at my hotel, it was about a 60 minute drive to where the hike began. The first activity of the day was a hike of approximately 90 minutes up to an altitude of 2000 meters(6,600 feet). The walk can be challenging as the first half is uphill, and the oxygen content of the air is reduced at the higher elevation. The group stopped frequently so Danilo good show us the various lava flows as well as some of the vegetation that is growing in the area. He has some wonderful pictures and videos that he has taken during active eruption. I am sure he will show them to you. The second activity was to visit a lava tube. Walking was difficult over the volcanic rocks and the ceiling is a little low in some places. A flashlight is provided and it is a nice experience. The third, and final activity of the day, was a stop at an overlook of a valley. Unfortunately, for us, it was pretty cloudy that day, but the clouds parted occasionally, and we could see the view. The tour is held rain or shine so be prepared and wear layers of clothing. It was in the low 50s Fahrenheit the day that I went. On the volcano, the weather conditions kept changing; the wind would pick up and clouds would come and go. I also want to thank Antonio, who was the driver of our SUV, for getting us up and down the mountain safely.

Great tour with Martino
I can't say enough about this tour. Martino, our tour guide, promptly arrived at our pick up point with water in the van. Driving in Sicily is really the wild west but Martino was continually asking if we were happy with his driving, which we were 100% of the time. He was very knowledgeable about Mt Etna and made several stops to show us special views and point out a buried village. He got us behind the scens at the winery with the owner. Martino was quick to pick up on our interests and pointed out a few details not on the itinerary. This was a great tour with am outstanding tour guide.

An unforgettable Etna experience with an exceptional guide!
The Lady Etna tour was a fantastic way to experience both the natural beauty and history of Mount Etna, combined with a wonderful visit to the local Gambino Winery.
Alex was one of the best guides we’ve ever come across. His passion, enthusiasm, and knowledge of Etna really brought the experience to life, and he made the tour both informative and engaging.
The food and wine tasting at Gambino Winery was another highlight — fantastic local food, excellent wines, and a lovely atmosphere. The small-group format made the experience feel personal and relaxed.
Everything was extremely well organised, including a punctual pick-up and plenty of interesting information throughout the day.
Highly recommended — a perfect combination of Etna, history, food, wine, and an outstanding guide!

Stunning Etna landscape and a very informative tour
Loved the Etna sunset tour! We started with tasting local wine and food, and then moved on to Etna. Our guide Francesco shared a lot of interesting facts all along the way. I loved the pace of the tour! There wasn't too much rushing. Of course, there was a need to finish the tour before the sun went down, but no picture went untaken and no question went unanswered because of it. And the Etna landscape is stunning! Highly recommend!

Best way to see Etna and learn about its history
Antonio made our day on Etna a truly memorable experience. Yes, it’s important to see the lava flows across the mountain and get a chance to hike through them. But from a granita stop, to a winery visit, to stops along the road to learn the smallest of details, we learned so much throughout the tour.
He clearly loves what he does and that makes the best kind of guide. Throughout the tour, he was stopping to take pictures to send to us - plus did a drone shot in one area.
Logistics were a breeze too. Despite booking last minute, he made sure we had clear instructions on how to meet our driver (Taormina isn’t conducive to easy navigation) and everything was taken care of each step of the way including protective equipment.
I’d recommend this to almost anyone visiting. There were some kids and older travelers. This tour isn’t too grueling, but even if you want to do a hike to the top separately, thus is a good way to learn about the mountain before submitting and take in experiences from that are integral to Etna.

Martino made the experience!
I was a little concerned before the tour because the day-of ended up being quite hot and we had our 5-month old baby. Martino was our driver and he made it a 10/10 experience. He dropped us off in areas where we could minimize too much time in the direct heat and was very mindful of helping us feel comfortable and have what we needed. He really went above and beyond. Outside of that, the tour was great. Martino was a great driver, the car was clean and he gave us great information at each stop so we knew what to look for. He also was personable and enjoyable to spend the day with while we were driving. This is a great tour if you’re looking for a knowledgeable driver who will give you great information and then you do the actual exploring on your own and meet him back when you’re ready for the next stop. A great way to see these beautiful cities!!

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.

We had an exceptional day with Roberto who went above and beyond to provide insights about Etna, the region and Sicilian culture/life. He was so knowledgeable and clearly loves spending time on Etna so his passion really come through. The winery we went to (Emilio Sciacca) was also stunning and we had a really delicious lunch (still one of my favorite pasta alla normas of the trip!). None of the experience felt rushed and Roberto was doubling as a great photographer so we have awesome memories as well. Highly recommend booking this and definitely would request Roberto if you can!

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.
