An excellent tour of Mt Etna!! Our driver/guide, Tony, was fantastic. Clearly passionate about Etna and the surrounding area, he was extremely knowledgable and enthusiastic about the tour. He gave us excellent back ground information on the drive to Etna and was also very organised with all of the logistics. Also loved the stop at Alacantara Gorge at the end of the day. Highly recommend this tour!!
Great visit to Etna!

Small group tour of Mt Etna with winery!
Published on Sep, 2024
Absolutely wonderful small group tour of Mt. Enta and gorge. The day started out raining, but it eventually cleared up and we had a wonderful trip. Our guide Daniele was amazing! Lunch was at a natural winery with excellent views of Mt Etna. Hiking shoes and jackets were provided. Would highly recommend this tour!
