Perfect pace, perfect guide, perfect day:))
Great, gentle pace with plenty of information by Fabrizio, our guide for the day. Highly recommend for people who want to experience going up the slopes of Etna but without heavy trekking. Thank you very much.. Sophia and Domenico from Perth, Western Australia

Amazing!
This was a fantastic tour! Our guide Daphne def had a passion for the volcano and the intricate workings of it! We weren’t too sure about the tour at first - but it was amazing - we learned a lot! Our guide showed us videos of the recent lava flow - would be so cool to see it live!

Had a great time!
The boat was bigger than I expected, check-in was very informal, just showed a guy at the marina our phone ticket and walked right on the boat. The ride was pleasant, not too rocky, I didn't get sea sick. The "captain" spoke English with a bit of an accent but understandable, we had 4 groups of people, totalling 12 people on the boat. Stopped along the grottos, he described all the points of interest to us, on between playing catchy / pop music. At the end we tied up to a buouy in the Isla Bella deap area and were giving plenty of time to jump off the boat, swim around and relax on the shaded boat benches. They shared cups of prosecco (juice for youngsters) and cookies. Overall, we had a marvelous time, very affordable and low key fun time!

Wonderfully immersive experience into the truly fantastic wines of Etna
A truly memorable experience visiting 3 wonderful and smaller vineyards that emphasize maximum quality! You will eat and drink to your hearts desires. Etna wines are truly something to be experienced by all. The staff at all 3 vineyards were truly welcoming and our driver and companion Marco was truly the best of the best! He brought this experience to another level with his knowledge and true Sicilian spirit and hospitality that made us feel at home and among true friends!

Must do!
Was a fantastic experience. Our tour guide was Giuseppe, he was fantastic and kind ,great playlist and booked us a great restaurant for lunch! It was a great experience even with 12 people on the boat it didn't feel too crowded as people at the front and we layed in the back of the boat as well.

Perfectly balanced day
This was a fantastic tour! I loved that it included swimming with the hot walk in Taormina. Very nice balance of activities and offered different views of the landscape! Mariagrazia was an excellent hostess and took us to get cannolis. Try the chocolate one if you can!

Amazing Mt. Etna tour
Great experience, highly recommend! Our tour guide, Diego, was wonderful. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable, gave us great explanations to all questions (including many from very curios kids) and was very patient with our kids (who did not behave well from time to time). Tour was very balanced with hiking/walking, sightseeing, guidance and lunch, not overwhelming at all and manageable for all ages.

A Fantastic Mount Etna & Alcantara Adventure
We had a fantastic experience on this tour. We went at the beginning of August, so it was very hot, but overall the hiking and cave exploration were manageable and well worth the effort. The perfect ending was cooling our feet in the icy waters of the Alcantara River after the hike.
Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable with clear and engaging explanations throughout the tour.
The food was also great!
We highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting the area!

Magic Etna walk and Taormina visit
Pick up went very smoothly. About an hour before a pick up our tour guide/driver sent us a reminder of everything we need to bring.
Usefull tip: altho web page allowes you to be picked up at via Etnea drivers cannot go there by car so pick something close like McDonalds 200 m from there.
On the begining of out trip our guide Alessandro walked us through todays plan and possible options and throuought the whole way tried to explain us as many things as he could so that we have better experience when we arrive at Etna.
As a group we decided to go on Etna volcano first and as we got there and while one part off our group went for a cable car/bus/walk option to the 3000 m, we opted for a trekking through volcanic craters with our tour guide. I would definitly recommand it. Our gudie made sure we are following him, and tried to modify the trekking due to our wishes and possibilities. He was also very patient and helpfull during tons of photos taken and showed us everything he coul think of.
After visiting Etna (took us about 3 h due to the crowds) we went for a lunch/wine tasting option. I also recommand it if you are keen on experiencing Etna through specific engridients, products and wine sorts specific to that region.
We finished our trip by going in Taormina. The place itself is nice and full of luxury brand stores but was very different contrast to Etna and its green and black plains.
Overall I would definitly recommand this trip. We had an amazing time thanks to our guide Alessandro.

A jewel of an expedition — not to be missed!
Nando was an amazing tour guide with tremendous passion for Etna and the region. We not only got to walk some of the craters on Etna and go into an old lava tube - Nando made an extra stop on the way home so we could look back at the volcano to see the lava flowing. Amazing!!

Go see these places with Mariarita of Discover Messina!
We loved this day outing! Our guide Mariarita was exceptional and shared information and made recommendations as we drove for various places to check out in the area. Gorgeous views of Mt Etna in Castelmola! Her guided walking tour in Taormina and at the theater was also enjoyable and engaging. She clearly likes what she does! Our driver, Lorenzo, navigated the crazy roads with ease. Heartily recommend this tour and Mariarita in particular.

Amazing experience
We had a wonderful experience on our Mount Etna tour, and much of that was thanks to our guide, Simone. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history, geology, and culture of the region. The scenery was breathtaking, and Simone ensured we had plenty of opportunities to take in the views and capture memorable photos. He was attentive, patient, and happy to answer questions. After Etna, we made a stop and had a tasting of many different local products, which was also amazing. If you're planning a visit to Mount Etna, we highly recommend this tour. Our guide’s expertise and enthusiasm made our visit truly special and unforgettable. Thank you, Simone, for an amazing experience!
