  • 5A great experience

    Easy to book with clear instructions of where to meet. Giuseppe was very knowledgeable and friendly and we learned a lot. Interesting visit to a lava tube cave. Unfortunately we had bad weather and Etna was shrouded in fog and rain, so we were unable to hike. Instead we had an interesting talk about volcanic activity and the fauna/ flora. The wine tasting and lunch was an exceptional experience and we loved every minute of it.

  • 4Etna and wine tasting

    The tour was overall ok. I had written to them before leaving for our trip to Sicily and asked if hiking shoes were needed and their response was that you can use your sneakers , but you can rent hiking shoes with them. I took this as hiking shoes were optional ( sneakers were fine per the tour response ) after we got to Etna the tour guide insisted that hiking shoes were needed to continue on the tour and that they were available to rent. Since we didn’t come prepared we decided to stay at the parking area that had other trails that you could walk with sneakers and we just waited for the rest of the group to return from their crater hike. Be prepared to climb down into the caves and be able to climb out. I did like the small group of 8 so you could follow and hear our guide explain what we were seeing. The wine tasting was excellent, paired with food . This tasting in set in a restaurant. There no are vineyards to visit . This is a good introduction to both Mt. Etna and wine tasting .

  • 5Go See Momma Etna!

    This tour is a must do in Catania. Our tour guide was Bruna and I had an amazing time. Bruna knew exactly what to do at Etna, provided a lot of helpful context, and the lunch was a great opportunity to relax after hiking. A couple things I’d keep in mind: Dress for a hike, the cable car up starts at around 50 euro and going all the way up is closer 85 euro. We did the 50 euro option and hiked down because the peak didn’t have the best conditions.

  • 5Unforgettable day

    Alessandro was brilliant, attentive and even after a little glitch in the morning through no fault of his own, was professional and attentive. His passion for volcanology and looking after people clearly showed and he was an excellent guide. The food and wine were unbelievable, as well as the setting. It was just a fantastic day all round, with people from all over the world. We started as strangers and ended as friends. Thank you for an unforgettable day.

  • 5Mt Etna tour from Catania

    This was an excellent tour of Mt Etna with our guide Itala who was very nice and knowledgeable. The landscape was amazing and we are glad we did the short hike around the craters. I recommend renting the trekking shoes or bringing your own. The lunch was excellent with the perfect amount of food. The wine pairings were also perfect for the dishes. Overall I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for the perfect mix of Etna and wine.

About Catania

Catania, on Sicily's east coast, is a black lava-stone city beneath Mount Etna, with a noisy fish market, Baroque squares and a long seafront.

Catania lies at the foot of Mount Etna, the active volcano whose lava reached the city in 1669, and an earthquake in 1693 flattened it. Rebuilt in the eighteenth century in the Baroque style, it uses black lava stone for walls and paving, set against white limestone. The Piazza del Duomo has an elephant of lava stone carrying an obelisk, the cathedral of Sant'Agata, and a fountain.

Top-ranked sights in Catania: Piazza Duomo, Via Crociferi (Via dei Crociferi) , Gambino Winery (Vini Gambino).
