Our guides knowledge was amazing, but we would have liked to do more hiking. The wine tasting was not impressive but the restaurant itself is set in a lovely area.

Our guide was exceptional!

Easy connection and simple to make the reservation. We were picked up in siracusa for the ride to Mt Etna. Salvator Mario entertained us with stories of the volcano. We learned a lot.

Waste of a day.

Messed us around for several hours before eventually cancelling the booking. Wasted half a day waiting around for a pick up that never came. Didn't get to experience the one thing we came to Sicily for. Complete disappointment.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

We deeply regret the inconvenience. Unfortunately, on that specific day the guide experienced an unexpected car issue, and we informed you as soon as we were made aware of the problem. The tour did take place later with the other participants, as communicated by our office, but we completely understand your frustration at not wanting to wait longer. Please accept our sincere apologies once again for the inconvenience. While unforeseen events can happen, we always do our best to minimize their impact on our guests’ experience. We regret that in this case you were not able to enjoy the activity you came for, and we hope you may give us another chance to welcome you in the future under better circumstances.

We thoroughly enjoyed our...
