Great excursion with an even better tour guide. Francesco was brilliant, and made the trip very enjoyable. He is also an excellent photo taker and knows the best spots!

It was rainy and the weather was not very good but the Guide was very nice and we had a very nice afternoon with the group.

Florence is the absolute best guide you could ever have. She is super nice, informative and helpful with everything. The wine/honey/olive oil tasting part is super fun, everything is very delicious and the prices to potentially buy the things you have tried are very much reasonable. The small hike on the craters (if you don't opt for the quad/ATV ride) is incredibly nice - the view, especially if the weather is clear (which it was for us) is incredible. Good to note that the wind can be quite strong up there but other than that, it is absolutely stunning. We were lucky to catch the sunset at the perfect timing to even take some pictures and get lost in the mesmerizing view it offered. Then we went down inside a small crater which was also super fun. The cave tour as a final stop was very interesting as it is basically a cave carved by the lava river and you can see the levels of how it was naturally created. Overall, this tour is a 100/10, our group was super fun, the views are amazing, you get to know a lot of interesting information about both Etna and the area, Florence the guide is incredibly nice and knowledgeable, the cave and the tasting is excellent. Couldn't recommend this more!

Guide was very informative. Learned loads about volcanos. Really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it.

The tour was really amazing and with the info provided by the very knowledgeable guide there was also a lot to learn. When I booked the tour I was a bit worried about the tasting that comes with it, but that part was great to, with a very friendly tasting guide and great products which lead to us buying a bunch of them.

The wine tasting was amazing. You get to taste a lot of Sicilian appetisers and the wine was fantastic. However the tour on the Etna was disappointing. The guide told that there was a possibility to go on ATV, but it would cost an extra €50 pp. We didn’t want to pay that much extra, so we went with our tour guide to a lava cave. The cave was actually pretty small and you only walk a few meters inside the cave. After that we went to the craters and the guide told some little details about it, but mostly gave us free time to enjoy it by ourselves. That was not a big deal, but when we walked away he gave a tour on the craters to the Italian speaking guests. I would have liked to get also more information about the craters and the volcano. Moreover, we stayed as the east side of the mountain and the sunset is on the west side of the mountain, so it was not really a sunset tour since the sun went down on the other side and we only saw clouds. In conclusion, while reading the description of the tour I expected more, but the wine tasting was worthwhile.

Throughout the planning process, the tour group was very accommodating in providing pickup location and directions with visuals. The guide was very punctual, however keep in mind pickup of individuals could take about an hour in itself as individuals are very spread out around Catania. Our tour guide, Aldo, was extremely friendly, kind and knowledgeable. It was about an hour ride from the last pickup to the summit of Etna. We first stopped at a local winery to have a sit down tasting, we tried a white wine, a red wine, an assortment of jams, and pastes. Then were brought to another room in the giftshop to taste an assortment of liquors and honeys. From there It was a scenic ride provided with explanations of the volcano, 30 minutes to the “tourist area.” From here you have a two hour break to shop, and eat. With little to no view of the sunset from this location. It was a little deceiving because they then offered for you to take an atv with a group, this ride will give you the most spectacular views of the sunset. For 50 euros a person you could join a tour group, they provide helmets, jackets, and an explanation of driving the atv. I highly recommend adding this to your excursion as it transformed the trip for us. Just disappointed in the tour itself to the “tourist area” where the only options were to stay, shop and eat, you do see a cave, or to spend the extra money to go on an atv. I wish I was given more information on this as the cable cars and other things on etna were closed at night. The two hour atv trek was safe, fun and beautiful to see. Highly recommend.
