What are people saying about Catania

Stacey_S, Oct 2026

We had eight people in...

We had eight people in our group which made it a nice small number so we were able to see everything well. We drove about an hour up to Mount Etna. Our van was an eight passenger van, so it was smaller than your typical tour bus. We were able to see many of Mt. Etna's sights including a lava tube. Paolo, our guide, was the reason I gave this tour a five. He was so knowledgeable and so much fun.

Our guide Alfio was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly, providing great insights about local foods and traditions. We had so much food to eat that we got to take extra with us to savour later. His recommendations for the rest of our stay were truly appreciated.

Kay_Y, Sept 2026

Good instruction of...

Good instruction of meeting point. Our group is 14 ppl, riding with a new, clean Mercedes 20 ppl van. Our driver, Giuesp is a wonderful skillful driver. Tour guild is Chris, he speaks fluent English, giving a detailed information before us getting off the van. One hour at Castelmola, 2.25 hours at Taormina, good enough for sightseeing and have a light meal. I would recommend ppl choose this tour instead of cruise excursion. One thing, it would be great if it can have 15 minutes more for Taromina.

Our tour guide Gianni was wonderful and so very sweet and kind! Just a gem! He was extremely helpful with physical limitations, and was a true gentleman with not only helping me walk down the steep terrain of Etna, but also helping someone who fell in our group as well. Would highly recommend him!

Etna Morning Trip

Wayne_W, Sept 2026

A hike of a semi-active volcano

Our guide, Danilo, was entertaining and very knowledgeable about volcanism. He filled us in on the history of the volcano and the various eruptions over the past. After being picked up at my hotel, it was about a 60 minute drive to where the hike began. The first activity of the day was a hike of approximately 90 minutes up to an altitude of 2000 meters(6,600 feet). The walk can be challenging as the first half is uphill, and the oxygen content of the air is reduced at the higher elevation. The group stopped frequently so Danilo good show us the various lava flows as well as some of the vegetation that is growing in the area. He has some wonderful pictures and videos that he has taken during active eruption. I am sure he will show them to you. The second activity was to visit a lava tube. Walking was difficult over the volcanic rocks and the ceiling is a little low in some places. A flashlight is provided and it is a nice experience. The third, and final activity of the day, was a stop at an overlook of a valley. Unfortunately, for us, it was pretty cloudy that day, but the clouds parted occasionally, and we could see the view. The tour is held rain or shine so be prepared and wear layers of clothing. It was in the low 50s Fahrenheit the day that I went. On the volcano, the weather conditions kept changing; the wind would pick up and clouds would come and go. I also want to thank Antonio, who was the driver of our SUV, for getting us up and down the mountain safely.

Etna Tour and Lunch in a Winery with Wine Tasting

Vincent_T, Sept 2026

Great tour with Martino

I can't say enough about this tour. Martino, our tour guide, promptly arrived at our pick up point with water in the van. Driving in Sicily is really the wild west but Martino was continually asking if we were happy with his driving, which we were 100% of the time. He was very knowledgeable about Mt Etna and made several stops to show us special views and point out a buried village. He got us behind the scens at the winery with the owner. Martino was quick to pick up on our interests and pointed out a few details not on the itinerary. This was a great tour with am outstanding tour guide.

Etna and Wine an experience between nature and aromas with taste.

Karen_B, Sept 2026

An unforgettable Etna experience with an exceptional guide!

The Lady Etna tour was a fantastic way to experience both the natural beauty and history of Mount Etna, combined with a wonderful visit to the local Gambino Winery. Alex was one of the best guides we’ve ever come across. His passion, enthusiasm, and knowledge of Etna really brought the experience to life, and he made the tour both informative and engaging. The food and wine tasting at Gambino Winery was another highlight — fantastic local food, excellent wines, and a lovely atmosphere. The small-group format made the experience feel personal and relaxed. Everything was extremely well organised, including a punctual pick-up and plenty of interesting information throughout the day. Highly recommended — a perfect combination of Etna, history, food, wine, and an outstanding guide!

Mt. Etna Sunset Experience - Breathtaking Adventure from Catania

maybetiger, Sept 2026

Stunning Etna landscape and a very informative tour

Loved the Etna sunset tour! We started with tasting local wine and food, and then moved on to Etna. Our guide Francesco shared a lot of interesting facts all along the way. I loved the pace of the tour! There wasn't too much rushing. Of course, there was a need to finish the tour before the sun went down, but no picture went untaken and no question went unanswered because of it. And the Etna landscape is stunning! Highly recommend!

Etna Jeep OffRoad Tour: Lava Flows,Etna Wines,Lunch at 6,561 ft

Chris_W, Aug 2026

Best way to see Etna and learn about its history

Antonio made our day on Etna a truly memorable experience. Yes, it’s important to see the lava flows across the mountain and get a chance to hike through them. But from a granita stop, to a winery visit, to stops along the road to learn the smallest of details, we learned so much throughout the tour. He clearly loves what he does and that makes the best kind of guide. Throughout the tour, he was stopping to take pictures to send to us - plus did a drone shot in one area. Logistics were a breeze too. Despite booking last minute, he made sure we had clear instructions on how to meet our driver (Taormina isn’t conducive to easy navigation) and everything was taken care of each step of the way including protective equipment. I’d recommend this to almost anyone visiting. There were some kids and older travelers. This tour isn’t too grueling, but even if you want to do a hike to the top separately, thus is a good way to learn about the mountain before submitting and take in experiences from that are integral to Etna.

Friendly driver in a new, clean, comfortable vehicle.

Early morning transfer from taormina to Catania. Our driver arrived 10 minutes early and patiently waited for us to check out and get ready to go. He was super friendly and the van was new, clean, and comfortable. We arrived safely and on time. Highly recommend this transfer.
