From beginning to end it was an amazing experience. We were picked up by the chef, visited the local market to pick up our lunch ingredients. Once we got to the ocean front kitchen it was evident this was going to be an amazing experience. We made everything from scratch and then enjoyed a family style Italian dinner of what we prepared. Friends were made and emails ex changed to possible get together again. Chef Mimmo and his family treated us like family and it was an experience of a lifetime. Don’t miss it. E.B. Virginia USA

Etna by Jeep: Exploring Craters and Lava Caves and Etna Wines

Laura_W, Dec 2025

Outstanding Tour! Fun, educational & delicious.

Alessandro was an amazing tour guide who knows so much about Mt Etna, but presents it in a way that kept our 10 & 13 yo boys engaged the whole time while we all learned. We loved seeing the lava flows, a lava vein cave and pole trekking on Mt Etna. The weather wasn’t the best the day of our trip but we were able to still do everything, miss most of the rain, find the sun and a little snow. Trekking on Mt Etna is like being in a magical other realm and my 10 yo really had a blast. The Sicilian products were also delicious and lunch at the Refugio was amazing. You shouldn’t miss the tour with Alessandro or Mt Etna during your time in Sicily, it’s a must do!

An Excellent Half Day Excursion

Our guide Saro was very knowledgeable and funny. The hiking part is not very difficult. The tour goes a little more than halfway up the summit but there are multiple craters throughout the mountain and we could stand at the edge of them. Also the views were beautiful. If you don’t have your own hiking boots, borrow theirs.

Great Wine Tour!

What a great day exploring the Sicilian My Etna countryside! Our driver Marco was great! We first stopped at La Gelsomina, which we had already been to on a previous tour, but it was still great. We were able to try different wines than tasted on the previous visit. Next we visited a small winery, Antichi Vini do Sicilia, where we toured the small wine making shop and then went upstairs to learn about the different wines and had a lovely lunch outside overlooking the sea. We sampled 4 different wines including a dessert almond wine. We also enjoyed the delicious antipasto, eggplant Parmesan pasta, and dessert. Lastly, we visited Nero winery which had lovely views of Mt Etna and enjoyed a small antipasto platter and samples 3 lovely wines. It was interesting to learn about grapes grown in the region that I have never heard of before. Great tour and a must do for wine lovers!

Palmento Costanzo Wine Tasting Experience

This was a fabulous small group trip to Palmento Costanzo Winery on the foothills of Mount Etna.... made all the more memorable by the friendliness of our six travelling companions and driver / guide Giovanni, who was very knowledgeable and provided us with a safe and enjoyable ride up and back. The trip was excellent value, with three separate wines to sample (one each of red, white and rose) along with some Sicilian speciality snacks. We then headed to a nearby farmhouse for lunch and unlimited wine, which was also included in the price. The tour duration was approximately seven hours in total and we would definitely recommend this trip.

With panoramic views of Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea, it’s not surprising that Taormina has been a popular vacation spot for centuries. This seaside village with cobblestone streets is the perfect starting point for visiting volcanic craters, exploring ancient Greek ruins, and sailing to the nearby islands of Panarea and Stromboli. Taormina tours highlight everything from history (Sicily is the birthplace of the Mafia) to cannoli—which you can learn how to make with the help of a local chef.
