Nando - Best guide and amazing tour - Amazing tour. We tried to work with the weather and it ended up amazing. Our guide, Nando, made the experience way more worth it. He is so knowledgeable, fun, and a fantastic guide. If we ever come back for other areas, we want Nando. Nonetheless, the volcano, the tasting, and the cave was such a special experience. They run smaller tours so you have the chance to ask questions, and really immerse yourselves into it the tour. As an employee for an international touring company, these guys are top top top notch, specifically Nando. Very lucky to have had the weather, and guide we did. Will come back to do it again.

A unique trip for fun loving guys - The tour was exceptional. Especially our english speakjng guide Stefano who was very helpful and extremely knowledgable about the tour. He is a math teacher but seemed to be a real volcanologist. Wine & honey testing were the part of this memorable tour. Entire trip was designed for fun with unique experience.

Awesome Experience! - Salvo was an amazing guide with so much knowledge and we felt so looked after. We took the extra trip to the next level height of Mt Etna with the cable car which was an awesome experience and afterwards a delightful time in his little village with wine and product tasting while having lunch for the afternoon. Thank you Salvo !

Magical - The experience was magical from start to finish. It was really well organised with collection times, then our guide Salvator was so knowledgeable about Etna and all the surrounding nature and urban areas. He was also great at dealing with the different unpredictable weathers! The second part of the day includes wine tasting, olive oil tasting, and jam tasting - it was absolutely wonderful. I joined as a solo traveller and met some lovely people - I’d encourage anyone to do this!

Amazing tour with guide Claudio - Great experience would highly recommend this tour! Our guide Claudio was amazing- very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. He went above and beyond even lending his gloves when we got cold on Mount Etna. The wine and food tastings were also fantastic.

Claudio the great - Our guide Claudio was excellent! He knew every answer right down to even why there were so many lady bugs on the mountain; on top of so many other facts. The wine tasting was great and all in all a great tour of Mount Etna.

We chose not to take the... - We chose not to take the cable car to 3000m. Instead we had a very informative trek around the base and up to view a crater. I found the ash very slippery to walk on but our guide was so kind encouraging and helpful. Cloud cover was minimal and the views were amazing.

Perfect! - Fun and knowledgeable guide. The information was very transparent with multiple options for activities once on Mount Etna. Great communication beforehand, small group and wonderful wine and food tasting on the way back.

Mt Etna with Pepe - Giuseppe Barbagallo was the best guide. He was knowledgeable, he was kind and funny. He answered all our questions and he took us to an amazing winery. We highly recommend a tour with Pepe

Up Mt. Etna - It was a great experience seeing Mt. Etna & our tour guide was very good. The flavors part was just okay (some wine crackers & dips). The road up & back was very winding & you could easily get sick.
