Very educational and fun. It was good to have the choice of different options for hiking once we arrived at the base camp. I also love it that you can take a piece of lava home dor a souvenir. This is a " must do" when visiting Taormina.

It was an incredible experience, nothing we had experienced before. Carmelo was an outstanding guide. Very personable and informative. Attentive to each of our needs and safety.

Pepe, our trained naturalist guide, was very informative. He arrived on time at our hotel and picked up 4 additional passengers forr our tour. Pepe is very caring, funny and very knowlegable about a wide variety of topics involving Sicily and Mt Etna. As Seniors, we were a bit surprised about the physical stamina needed on the mountain. We opted for the "Cable & 4x4 minibus" tour...78Euro per person...to go to 2900meters on the mountain. Very interesting, exciting and fun...but also a challenge because of altitude. Other options include a lower elevation walk with guide, or an ATV 4wheeler group tour. Extra jackets can be rented on the mountain for 5Euro each. Other warm gear can be purchased. For us it was very windy and cold. Check the weather before you go. HIGHLY recommend this tour which includes a stop for local food and wine products.

Simone was an amazing host and even though the weather was atrocious and we didn't have the proper wet weather clothes so couldn't go trekking (other members of the group did) he kept it all very lively with good facts and music in the minibus on the way back. We also had a mix of nationalities in the group but he made sure every one was included. Taster session was good with lots of different olive oil, jams and drinks to try.

Simone was an excellent guide and kept us entertained despite the bad weather He was very helpful with lots of information related to and unrelated to the tour

Mt. Etna itself was cool to go to but the actual tour (driving there and the wine tasting) was boring.

Lindsey_H

Guiseppe picked us up right on time at the meeting point and we were joined by 5 others. He told us all about the sites on the drive to Mt Etna! The Mt Etna tours once you get to the base of the volcano do cost extra unless you choose you just hike around on your own from the base. We chose the Gondola ride up where another tour guide met us. It was 78 euro per person. Guiseppe then took us into Ragalna (a small town close by) to a winery where we tasted 4 different wines and had a FULL food tasting, alll of it so delicious! That was an additional 45 euro per person. We were picked up at 9:15am and dropped back off by 5:15pm so it was more of a full day experience.

While we enjoyed spending the day on magnificent Mount Etna, this tour left me feeling unimpressed and maybe even shorted. This is because the tour I was on didn't exactly include 2 out of 6 things that it advertises: - The tour lists "Trek along the Parco dell’Etna trails with an alpine guide" which was not offered to our group (2 families X 4 people). Once we arrived to Rifugio Sapienza our guide only offered the option of taking the cable car up at additional cost of 78 euros per person or hanging out by yourself at Rifugio Sapienza. In other words taking us treking or any other organized activity that didn't include additional cost wasn't offered. Mind you, this stop lasts 2 hours. - The tour also lists "Relax at an organic farm and enjoy samples of wine and other produce" and the guide mentioned it in the briefing too. However, once we got back together after the stop at Rifugio Sapienza, our guide said that we will have a tasting at the shop in Rifugio Sapienza instead because "the farm requires you to book for lunch and noone in the group wants to have lunch". This left us all confused as lunch part was never mentioned, in the tour advert or during the tour up until that time and as it often happens with families with children we have all made different lunch arrangements, not knowing that will have an effect on the content of our tour. Being averse to awkward situations, we just went along with a tasting in a back of a shop which wasn’t ready for a while as it was clearly a surprise for them too. Our group was combined with another group which made for a very cramped experience, definitely not meeting the promise of “Relax at an organic farm”. I wonder if people that wrote all the great reviews got a different experience for some reason but I don’t think that this tour is worth the cost. Maybe at half the cost for the guide-narrated drive from Taormina to Rifugio Sapienza (some 1.5 hours).

We didn’t do the longer climb or the trip to the top but it was still just as interesting doing the lower crater

Very good guide/ chauffeur! Taking good care of us and choose the trail so we could enjoy it most possibly.
