Etna Morning Trip

Mt. Etna is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and shouldn’t be missed when visiting Sicily, but reaching the active volcano—and getting around once there—are tough without a 4WD-equipped vehicle. On this full-day tour, get access to rugged locations standard cars can’t reach, and embark on a short hike through craters and lava flows. Top it off with a Sicilian lunch and visit to Alcantara Gorge.

Christine_K, Aug 2026

Great experience with knowledgeable guide

We were a 3 generation family. Ages 15, 18, 40s and late 70s. Fantastic tour with Daniele, a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. The climb to the crater was fairly strenuous for thosrewho were not fit. Climbing down into the lava cave was a great experience. Loved the views of the lava flow and the Daniele really explained the geology clearly and simply. Would definately recommend this tour.

Catania Sicilian Street Food Tour: Small Group by Do Eat Better

Rachael_S, Aug 2026

The Street is Where It’s At! 😎

Our Catania Street Food Small Group Tour with Do It Better was an absolute delight and one of the highlights of our time in Sicily. Our guide, Julia, was simply lovely – warm, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable – and she made the whole experience feel relaxed, personal and so much fun. We sampled some wonderful Sicilian treats, from a delicious ham and cheese pastry to a fantastic fish cone, where the anchovies were especially delicious. Of course, no visit to Sicily would be complete without cannoli, and we enjoyed both chocolate and pistachio – absolutely divine! We finished with refreshing gelato: toasted almond for one of us and lemon for the other. Julia also explained the traditional simplicity of the dessert made using sugar, water and fruit or nuts. Everything was delicious, but it was Julia’s passion, knowledge and lovely personality that made the tour truly special. We came away not only very full and happy, but feeling that we had experienced a little piece of the real Catania. Highly recommended!

Wonderful day at Etna!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience exploring Mount Etna and the lava caves. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, making the entire experience extremely enjoyable. She shared an abundance of information about Etna’s volcanic history, geology, and the surrounding area, while also making sure we felt comfortable and safe throughout the tour. Visiting the lava caves was a real highlight—such a unique and unforgettable experience. I only hit made head once…thankfully we were provided helmets! Our guide’s passion, enthusiasm and expertise truly made the day special. We learned so much, took in some incredible landscapes, and had amazing experience from start to finish!

Etna and Alcantara Gorges Excursion with lunch

TUDOR_N, Aug 2026

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!

Don’t miss Taormina and Castelmola!

We LOVED this tour!! Taormina is gorgeous and our guide Corrado was awesome! He gave us just enough info without boring us with facts and history. Plus he took us to the most amazing and oldest cannoli shop in the town! We then headed up to Castelmola which was a spectacular mountain top town and had lunch at a very interesting and very delicious restaurant! It was a fantastic day! I highly recommend this tour!

Toramina was our first stop and had a nice cup of cappuccino before the stores opened and made it through town to the theater 14euros and under 18 was free. Highly recommend the cannolis they fill in the booth. Our Driver did a stop before for nice pic of Mt Etna and did a nice job explaining the area. Went onto Castlemola for lunch and beautiful views.

Great time, fun experience. Our driver Carmelo was great straight from pickup in Catania. He is very knowledgeable of the entire area on the ride out and pointing areas out to us. When we met up with another tour guide Peter, both Carmelo and Peter knew everything and anything about the towns we visited and the Godfather movie. Enjoyed all the sites visited and even our stop for a great lunch at a local pizza place in town.

A great adventure

This was an excellent tour, the tour guide and his wife were excellent. On the way up Mt Etna began smoking. The tour guide was extremely informative. We stopped at a winery where we saw a little movie of how the wine was made many years ago in the 1865. They also had cherries, lemons and other fruits on the farm. We saw a round Rainbow called an Angels rainbow which is very rare. We ate at the only restaurant on Mt Etna. My salad was excellent, but people complained about the food, which was all carbohydrates.

Etna Tour and Lunch in a Winery with Wine Tasting

Susan_F, Jun 2026

Great Experience, filled with surprises!

We had an unforgettable day exploring Mount Etna and visiting the Gambino Winery. Our guide, Martino, was exceptional—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about his land, its history, and the unique culture of the Etna region. His enthusiasm made every stop more meaningful, from the volcanic landscapes to the vineyards thriving in Etna’s fertile volcanic soil. The stop at the honey farm was a great experience, arriving just before the tour groups, making us feel like it was a private tour! The winery visit was a highlight, with excellent wines, delicious local food, and fascinating insights into the winemaking traditions of the area. Martino came through again, he took us to a private part of the vineyard that was quiet and very romantic. On our way back, we stopped at the Chestnut of One Hundred Horses, and then proceeded on our way, only to be surprised again by a gift of delicious Italian cookies.! If you’re looking for an authentic Sicilian experience, I highly recommend this tour, and Martino. Thank you, Martino for sharing your passion and making our visit so memorable!

Mt Etna hike and Gambino Winery Tour

From start to finish this was a brilliant day. Our guide Lucas was so knowledgeable and friendly - making us laugh a lot and made us feel very comfortable. He had a huge amount of information on Mt Etna and clearly has a passion for the region and it's people. The wine tasting at Gambino is a must do activity, I've never done such a fantastic tasting with such high quality food. Lovely staff and the perfect end to a great day

Judith_K, May 2026

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.

David_G, Oct 2025

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.
