From start to finish the experience was amazing. The communiation was excellent, keeping us informed at all times. Flavia was our driver and tour guide, she was excellent and attentive, telling us stories about Sicily and 'Mama Etna' whilst driving between the vineyards. The vineyard experience was brilliant, interesting and so impormative. The settings were beautiful, like something out of a movie. The vineyard owner brought out a little cake for my friend as they found out it was my birthday.

I read great reviews of Etna Experience before contacting them. They far surpassed my expectations. I contacted them about a bespoke wine tour, as there were specific wineries I wanted to visit. I dealt mostly with Helena, who was very responsive to emails and just amazing! Our driver to the wineries, Giovanni, was fantastic. He told us so much about Sicily - things you cannot learn from a guidebook. He was so lovely. We also booked transfers from Catania to Taormina and Taormina to Messina. Our driver was great and gave us wonderful tips. Everything happened on time, which we appreciated. We had such an incredible experience with everyone on the Etna Experience team. They really care that you have a great experience.

Excellent staff and tour. Federica and Helena were efficient, patient and attentive. Mirko, our guide and driver, was both knowledgeable and a safe driver. Very important in Sicily. Many thanks for an enjoyable day.

Beautiful day visiting two wineries. We only got a tour of the first vineyard - the second location was only lunch. Lunch and our wait staff was absolutely amazing. Way more driving then we expected and we did not see mount Etna but overall great day out in Sicily.

A great tour to see a few wineries and learn more about Sicily! Claudio was an amazing guide for our tour. He picked us up near our hotel, even a few minutes earlier than expected. During the longer drives between locations, he shared stories and history about Sicily and the towns we were driving through. We went to two wineries and another place that produces honey, oils, and wine. All 3 locations were great, with excellent wine and local products. Lunch at the second winery was delicious as well. The staff at each place were very knowledgeable and eager to talk about their vineyards and different wines. And throughout the day, Claudio was checking in the make sure we were having a great time. Overall, this tour is an excellent way to visit a few wineries on Mt. Etna!

Amazing tour! We had a an awesome experience with our guide Andrea. He was friendly, knowledgeable and great to talk to. The stops we made and experiences we had were all great. The wine and food was delicious and we all learnt a lot. The views were incredible and this trip was well worth it. We will be back one day!

Giovanni was a great guide. Enjoyed the two vineyard visits very much, particularly the second which was very professional. The winemaker was enthusiastic and passionate about his product. The lunch was fine but pretty ordinary pasta. Not the highlight.

A fantastic day spent exploring the slopes of Etna and sampling some of the regional wine and food. My partner and I were the only two on the tour and our guide Giuseppe was brilliant. Suitable shoes and socks are provided, as they likely won’t be in your holiday packing. The slopes are really awe inspiring and you get a powerful impression of nature’s power up close! Giuseppe explained all the features we passed by and had some great knowledge of the local plant life also. The vineyard we visited was also incredible and the owner was a kind and generous host. The wine itself was delicious, and some light lunch was also put on and tasted great. Giuseppe took us to a perfect spot for a final photo to end the day before transporting back to Catania. Definitely can recommend this experience especially as it balances those interested in exploring the immense volcano as well as the wonderful local produce.

I had an absolutely amazing time. Dario was an amazing guide and incredibly knowledgeable regarding Mount Etna and its ecology. The views were stunningly beautiful and that doesn't even begin to cover the wine and the food! I would highly recommend this to any wine and food lover, especially to people who want to see a bit of the area then receive a phenomenal experience. I couldn't recommend this possibly any higher!

The tour was beautiful! Janet took us on a lovely excursion hike through Mt. Etna’s stunning landscapes. Her passion and experience in geology made the hiki even more fascinating, packed with all the inner workings of volcanos and how they impact the surroundings. The wine tour afterwards was lovely as well. Really friendly, knowledgeable wine makers with a clear passion for their wines (and delish food pairings). Grazie mille a tutti!
