Great way to experience Mt. Etna and local products! - This private tour was one of the best I have experienced. Our tour guide, Massimo, was engaging, knowledgeable about the history of Mt. Etna and the local area, and skilled in his driving. He selected a wonderful winery for wine and food tasting that was in a picturesque setting. I appreciated that he took such care with our safety and comfort during our hike of Mt. Etna and even took a group photo for us. I would definitely take this tour again.

Great tour! - If you’ve never been to Sicily or the Mt Etna area, this is a must do tour. Omar our guide was great. We were picked up from our hotel in Taormina and drove up the mountain for one of the most amazing hikes I’ve ever done. The weather was a bit fridges and cold so we were not able to ride the cable car higher up. But we were able to hike around some of the lower craters and experience a lot of the same scenery that we would’ve seen higher up. Omar had some extra jackets, but make sure to bring good footwear and be prepared with cold weather clothing. We then made a stop and a cute little honey and olive oil shop. Delicious stuff. Then we made our way to La Gelsomina winery and were treated to a lovely antipasto platter and 4 glasses of wine. Jessica at the winery was great answering our questions and took us on a little walk through the property. Beautiful place! Highly recommend this tour!

Don’t miss this tour! - My friend and I had a fantastic time on this tour. Corrado was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history and geology of Mt Etna and took us an a wonderful hike of the lower crater and the lava caves. And he was an excellent driver allowing us to relax and enjoy the Sicilian landscape. Don’t miss this tour!

Perfetto! - This tour could not have been a better experience! The guides were experienced, professional, wise, and so kind and courteous. The Gambino Winery was fabulous and we appreciate the food along with the wine tasting to make this an epic experience. It was absolutely delectable! Lastly I want to say that, if I could clone the tour hosts for every tour, I 100% would. They were wonderful and made the experience a complete and total joy!

With his deep knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine love for the region, he turned our day into a truly unforgettable experience.

Mt. Etna and more - We spent the day with Guiliano and he was soo very good. Very nice and super informed. Our hike through Mt. Etna was like having a Geologist giving us the tour, just amazing! We enjoyed our wine tour at a local and natural wine maker and the wonderful lunch with a view. Could not have been happier would go again and would love to have Guliano again. Bravo!!!!

Perfect introduction to Mt. Etna walking trails and perfect Sicilian wine. - We could not have been more pleased with our trip choice and tour guide Giulian. We visited some really cool lava caves, walked some non strenuous trails on the side of the mountain and visited THE MOST charming winery ever. This was a couples Trip and Giuliano ensured that we were safe, happy comfortable and most of all well-informed. We left wanting so much more to visit and hear more of the history of the mountain.

Great day, great experience - Great experience doing a private tour. It was nice to have individualized attention and have the experience feel more personalized. Our driver Roberto was great, very knowledgeable and helped to make our trip special. Mount Etna is a site to be seen and I’m glad we got to experience this. Additionally, the winery/vineyard was very cute and gave a delicious meal

We were not prepared to... - We were not prepared to hike. Nothing in the description said we would hike to the top of the crater. I personally had om Clarke sandals (which are “comfortable walking shoes” but was not allowed to walk to the top because our guide was worried i might fall. He actually said - once we got there - that he hadn’t noticed I had sandals on, which i think he should have been more aware of considering the hiking that was to come. We also were not able to taste the honey, olive oil and olives because this stop was omitted. We were told that the vender had a personal issue so he wasn’t there. The guide was knowledge but we couldn’t really hear him. We have been on alot of other tours in Europe where the tour guides would wear headsets that would broadcast thru the cars audio system. Because of the hiccups with out tour, i would appreciate a partial refund of some sort because we really didn’t get what we paid for. Thank you
