This tour was... - This tour was breathtaking. Being able to see Etna up close (without having to do any hiking) was incredible. Salvo was the best guide, showing us local spots and allowing us to try local honeys, olive oils, chocolates, and snacks. This is a must do when in Sicily!

A Perfect Day on Mount Etna - Our day on Mount Etna was an unforgettable experience and one of the best parts of our trip to Sicily. Walking around the Silvestri Craters and taking in the incredible volcanic scenery was something truly unique. We also loved stopping at a local honey farm, where we sampled delicious honey and other traditional Sicilian products while learning more about the area’s history and traditions. The winery visit was the highlight of the tour. The setting among the Etna vineyards was stunning, and the wine tasting paired with a fantastic lunch made for a truly memorable experience. Every dish complemented the wines perfectly, and the hospitality was exceptional. Everything was well organized, with just the right amount of time at each stop. It was a relaxing day filled with amazing scenery, great food, excellent wines, and authentic Sicilian hospitality. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sicily.

Absolute must do! - This is such a wonderful tour! Our guide, Salvo, was excellent - so friendly, accommodating, funny, and simply a delight. He shared interesting pieces of history with us, played photographer, and gave us tips and recommendations for the region. We did a few other tours during this trip but this was by far our favorite!!

The stop at the traditional honey farm was a wonderful surprise. We tasted delicious local honey and other authentic Sicilian specialties while learning about the area’s unique traditions from passionate local experts. The highlight of the day was our visit to the winery.

Everything was thoughtfully prepared, creating an elegant yet authentic atmosphere. The entire day was perfectly organized, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy every stop without feeling rushed.

An unforgettable experience in Sicily - We had an absolutely unforgettable experience. Our driver and companion Salvo was amazing, elegant, friendly, and always attentive, he made the whole day even more special. We had so much fun throughout the experience, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and great energy. Walking on the lava of Mount Etna was truly unique and something we will never forget. The wine tasting at a beautiful winery was another highlight, with delicious food perfectly paired with local wines. We also visited a traditional farm producing over 20 types of honey a truly authentic and fascinating place that gave us a deeper insight into Sicilian traditions. We were a private group of 8 (myself and 7 friends) and we can honestly say this was one of the best experiences of our entire trip to Sicily. Highly recommended!

Great day at Mt. Etna & Gambino winery - Great experience with Salvo. Took us to several stops to experience local honey, olive oils and wines in addition to Mt. Etna visit. Gambino winery was wonderful. Delicious wines and food, and great service. Salvo was great about communicating with us in advance and arrived early for pick up. Patient and let us take our time at stops.

Between Etna’s lava fields and the authentic flavors of Sicily - Between Etna’s lava fields and the authentic flavors of Sicily This experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Sicily. Walking on the lava fields of Mount Etna was absolutely incredible a breathtaking landscape that felt both powerful and surreal, making us truly appreciate the beauty of the volcano. After this unforgettable walk, we arrived at the beautiful winery of the actor’s restaurant on Etna, a place full of charm, elegance, and authentic Sicilian character. The wine tasting was simply outstanding: every glass reflected the unique volcanic territory with rich aromas and exceptional flavors. The wines were perfectly paired with traditional Sicilian dishes made with fresh local ingredients and authentic recipes. Every tasting felt like discovering the true soul of Sicily. The atmosphere inside the winery, together with the warmth and professionalism of the staff, made the entire experience even more memorable. A perfect combination of nature, wine, tradition, and Sicilian hospitality. Truly unforgettable.

Just a wine tasting in a restaurant - There was no “lunch in the cellar”, lunch was in their restaurant alongside birthday parties, baptism celebrations, all very nice, but the restaurant and staff were very busy. They quickly ran through the script for wines we were tasting then darted off, no tour of the premises or any discussion of their process.
