Great trip to Etna
1960miles, September 2026
One of the best tours we have been on and there have been many over the years. Diego our guide was brilliant, Etna and the gorge were spectacular and the lunch at the vineyard was very nice indeed.

Amazing Mt. Etna tour
alex_d, August 2026
Great experience, highly recommend! Our tour guide, Diego, was wonderful. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable, gave us great explanations to all questions (including many from very curios kids) and was very patient with our kids (who did not behave well from time to time). Tour was very balanced with hiking/walking, sightseeing, guidance and lunch, not overwhelming at all and manageable for all ages.

Roberto was a fantastic...
Peter_B, July 2026
Roberto was a fantastic guide - very knowledgeable, very good English and very good sense of humour!! He really helped make to most of what was a very wet and murky day.
Learned a lot about the volcano which the Sicilians clearly love - all very excited as it had just become quite active.
Great wine with lunch.
The gorge was a bit of an anti-climax. Not really worth the effort.
Great day out despite the weather
