Great Experience, filled with surprises! - We had an unforgettable day exploring Mount Etna and visiting the Gambino Winery. Our guide, Martino, was exceptional—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about his land, its history, and the unique culture of the Etna region. His enthusiasm made every stop more meaningful, from the volcanic landscapes to the vineyards thriving in Etna’s fertile volcanic soil. The stop at the honey farm was a great experience, arriving just before the tour groups, making us feel like it was a private tour! The winery visit was a highlight, with excellent wines, delicious local food, and fascinating insights into the winemaking traditions of the area. Martino came through again, he took us to a private part of the vineyard that was quiet and very romantic. On our way back, we stopped at the Chestnut of One Hundred Horses, and then proceeded on our way, only to be surprised again by a gift of delicious Italian cookies.! If you’re looking for an authentic Sicilian experience, I highly recommend this tour, and Martino. Thank you, Martino for sharing your passion and making our visit so memorable!

Etna tour and wine tasting, totally top! - Etna tour with wine tasting was fantastic. Early morning pick up by guide. He told us all kinds of facts about Mount Etna and its surroundings along the way. The tour around Etna was educational, fun and very interesting. Then on to a lower wine tasting. There we had a delicious lunch while enjoying 7 different wines (all from wines grown on Mount Etna). Top day really worth the money!

Martino for the win!! - Our Etna Tour and Winery Lunch was hands-down one of the highlights of our entire trip to Sicily! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations—but the real star of the day was our guide, Martino. Martino was incredible—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about Sicily, Mount Etna, and the local culture. He didn’t just guide us…he brought the entire experience to life. Every stop felt thoughtful and personalized, and he made sure we were comfortable, entertained, and learning something new along the way. Exploring Mount Etna was surreal, and Martino’s insights made it even more fascinating. And then the winery…wow. The setting was stunning, the food was delicious, and the wine tasting was perfection. It felt like such an authentic Sicilian experience—relaxed, beautiful, and full of flavor. If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate—book it. And if you’re lucky enough to get Martino as your guide, you’re in for an amazing day you won’t forget!

The winery was good but the lunch was mediocre, the service was a little slow. All in all it was a good experience and I would recommend the tour.
