Amazing tour to Etna and winery - This was an AMAZING tour. Simone was a great guide, with super positive energy and very informative all the time. Everything was well organised, on time and fun! When you get to Etna you have 3 choices (and everyone in the group can pick whatever they like more): go up with cable car (70 euro), go up with electric bike (80 euro) or go around on ATVs (130 euro per ATV, up to 2 people per vehicle). All options are with a guide. I went with the e-bike and it was super fun. You need to be in moderate shape though, it's not the easiest. No matter the option, the views are breathtaking. Then after Etna you get to a local winery for food and wine tasting and oh my, how good it is! Totally worth it over the "regular" Etna tour.

Wonderful Experience - We had a wonderful experience on the Mt Etna tour. Our guide, Simone, was knowledgeable, personable, and easy to talk with for the entire day. He made it easy to get to know the other guests on the tour, and by the end, it felt like we had made several new friends. My wife and I choose to rent the electric assist bikes to bike to the top of Etna. It was a great experience, but we are both in very good shape, and still found it challenging at times, in case that's helpful. That said, I would do it again in a heartbeat. You can also choose to simply stay at the arrival area and walk around (there are several craters there), or ride the cableway to the top. The cableway or bikes were both around $80 euros additional per person. The wine tasting and provided food are extensive, you will leave full. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Catania. Well worth it!

Unique and stunning. - The entire experience was amazing. Simone was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. We had incredible weather and even witnessed Etna emitting smoke rings! The food and wine were delicious and copious. I can’t rate the trip highly enough. We loved it!

Best tour of the week - My family has been touring for 7 days. This tour was the BEST of all of them. Simone was entertaining and super fun. We paid extra to ride the cable car higher on the volcano. It was totally worth it, but not necessary. Simone took others on a hike that chose not to continue up. There were people hiking everywhere with great views all around. Like others have said, the wine/food tasting is the highlight and a great end to the hike. I highly recommend this tour.

Very good experience - We had a very good experience with this tour. April is a very good time to take this tour, as the waiting lines to go to the mountain or winery were not long. Guissepe was an amazing tour guide, friendly, funny and very helpful. Full sicilian experience !

Amazing - This was a great tour. We learned a lot about the volcano and had some time to trek the craters. The wine tasting that followed was an amazing experience as we enjoyed some of the harvest from Etna. Grazie!

Perfect day trip - Perfect organization, punctual pick-up. Our guide Pepe was extremely friendly and competent. We not only learned a lot about Etna, but also about the history of Sicily. Pepe had an answer to every question. The wine tasting with a sampling of Sicilian specialties in the enoteca dell'etna also deserves 5 out of 5 stars. Perfect service there too! Once again, a big compliment and THANK YOU to Pepe for the wonderful trip. Sabine and Martina

A great day not to be misaed - Etna was amazing, at 3000 meters the wind was blowing, it was like being on another planet. We highly recommend going to the top. The wine and lunch was excellent and abundant, eat as little as possible before the arriving for the feast. The food and wine pairing is very good and their are liquors to taste at the end. Francisco, our guide, knew everything and would share as much as you wanted, we talked with him about many things Sicily.
