An early start to get up to Mt Etna ahead of the crowds. Guisseppe gave a very informative commentary on the journey and outlined the options for going further up the mountain. My wife and I took the cable car and 4x4 option which worked well except our guide at the top only spoke Italian so we did not get much information from him. Our adult daughter did the quad bike option and loved it. Finishing up with a wine tasting combined with excellent food selections was a wonderful way to finish the day.

Salvo was very informative and we learnt so much from him
The experience of being on Etna was amazing and the visit to the lava cave was fascinating
The wine and food at the vineyard was delicious and our tip is do not eat before the trip
Top trip and Salvo made the day

We had an amazing tour experience with Salvatore - visiting his hometown and seeing how the local communities around Etna live was a memorable personal touch that brought the tour to life. Highly recommend!

Right from the word "go" we had a wonderful experience with Simone. A true gentleman at such a young age. Kept on giving us information on Mount Etna's past and future, then arriving at the main event and number one experience we agreed for the cable car to the craters and return.
Even with so many people itching for a sight of the craters, Simone was able to advance us in the cue.
The not too strenuous climb got us to the top with the aid of Simone's knowledge.
What a great experience.
Next came the vineyard wine and local food experience.
This was out of this world!
It was fantastic, each wine (4) was dissected and all 4 complemented by local foods. It seemed to come on without stopping. Truly marvellous.

An amazing experience exploring Mt Etna! All the guides were very informative and helpful and the views from the top were incredible. We enjoyed a fantastic wine tasting and Sicilian lunch afterwards.

It was an absolutely perfect day. Our guide, Simone, was incredible. He was funny, knowledgeable and a natural storyteller. He made our trip unforgettable. We added on the cable car and 4x4 truck option to close to the summit and he came along and shared so much extra information beyond the vulcanologist. Then the winery was so magical with more food and wine than you could imagine. Absolutely worth the trip and if you can choose your guide, ask for Simone!

Tommaso was a great guide, very informative and passionate about his work. We were nervous to take an 8 hour long tour the first day of vacation after just arriving after a long trip but it was perfect! It went by so fast and we all had so much fun!! Grazie mille Tommaso!!!

We are so happy that we decided to go on this tour! Our guide, Lorenzo, was incredibly funny, kind, and knowledgeable about Etna. Visiting the craters was an experience we will never forget. Moreover, the wine tasting was incredible and accompanied by a lunch with 5 (!) different courses: olive oil tasting, different sausages and salami, arranchini and other hot food, cheeses from the island, and a dessert. The wines were incredible, and all from the local winery.
After the meal, we tried different locally made liqueurs and had a small tour of how the wine used to be made. Finally, we had coffee and a chance to buy the wines we tasted (but in a relaxed way, without any pressure to do so), before we were dropped off in Catania.
More than worth the money! Make sure to ask for Lorenzo as a guide.

My husband and I did this tour on our honeymoon and absolutely loved it! Andrea was our guide and he was truly the best - he even went out of his way to make my husband and I a dinner reservation at a fantastic restaurant! Highly recommend this tour.
