Brooke_R, Aug 2026

Iryna is sumprema

Iryna was a superb tour guide. Very knowledgable, friendly and accommodating. Our group of 12 spent the afternoon learning about the history of Catania while also enjoying some delicious Sicilian staples. The tour ended in time for us to make it back to our cruise ship with time to spare.

Mt. Etna Sunset Experience - Breathtaking Adventure from Catania

Giselly_P, Aug 2026

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

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!

Etna Morning Tour from Catania

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.

Etna Morning Trip

Leah_H, Aug 2026

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!

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.

Torimino and castlemola with views of Mt Etna

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.

JOHN_M, Jul 2026

Good times

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.

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.

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

Etna Tour and Lunch in a Winery with Wine Tasting

Stacey_S, Mar 2026

Martino for the win!!

Our Etna Tour and Winery Lunch was hands-down one of the highlights of our entire trip to Sicily! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations—but the real star of the day was our guide, Martino. Martino was incredible—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about Sicily, Mount Etna, and the local culture. He didn’t just guide us…he brought the entire experience to life. Every stop felt thoughtful and personalized, and he made sure we were comfortable, entertained, and learning something new along the way. Exploring Mount Etna was surreal, and Martino’s insights made it even more fascinating. And then the winery…wow. The setting was stunning, the food was delicious, and the wine tasting was perfection. It felt like such an authentic Sicilian experience—relaxed, beautiful, and full of flavor. If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate—book it. And if you’re lucky enough to get Martino as your guide, you’re in for an amazing day you won’t forget!

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.
