Valerie_T, Aug 2026

Semi-private tour from our cruise port to Toramina and Castelmola.

We were picked up at our cruise port. Communication from our driver, Michael, through What's App was easy. He drove us past Mt. Etna to Toarina where there were beautiful views and high end shops. Then we went to a less touristy spot and had a bite to eat with a great view of the volcano. We were entertained by Michael's stories and appreciated his knowledge of the area. We returned to our cruise on time before departure.

The Godfather Movie Tour

John_P, Aug 2026

This tour is the offer you can't refuse!

It was as good as advertised and even better. Carmelo was and is the best tour guide. He taught me a few things about the Godfather, and I thought I knew it all! We met the owner of the mansion Michael hid out at in Sicily and he made the tour that much better. Barone was beyond welcoming, he made our day. I would strongly recommend the private tour. We saw everything as promised and got to go to Taormina for lunch as well. We got back to our boat perfectly on time! I can't recommend this tour enough. Ask for Carmelo! The pictures we have were largely staged by the 85 years young, Barone. 6 STARS FOR THIS TOUR!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Etna and Alcantara Gorges Excursion with lunch

Tristan_A, Aug 2026

It was amazing! We loved...

It was amazing! We loved our driver and guide, Salvatore and Mario. The experience itself was a ton of fun and our hosts were very accommodating and kind. Mario has encyclopedic knowledge of the flora and history of Etna and was excited to share with all of us. The meal in the pine forest alongside other tourists and locals was very charming and delicious. Highly recommend water shoes for the gorges, and be sure to turn to the right once you reach the bottom of the stairs for the main attraction!

The experience we ended...

The experience we ended up doing was good, we did it on a four wheel drive. Just be aware that the options that are given are 65euros a person extra. I thought the tour I had chosen would be a medium level but we were told medium to difficult and had to rent shoes and jackets. All I n all we ended having a nice time and Salvo our tour guide who picked us up was very knowledgeable and gave us very interesting facts about Etna and the city of Catania. Would recommend

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.

Florence_L, Jul 2026

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!

Sergio is the absolute best! He is wonderfully fun, knowledgeable, experienced, safe, and just all around a perfect person to show you about the place he loves, Sicily. We wish we had booked more tours with him. He is spectacular and we were all talking about if he did any other tour we would want him with us. Don’t think, book Sergio!!

Siracusa - Ortigia & Noto Tour

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.
