Etna tour with colleagues - I took part in an organized tour on top of Etna with a nice group of work colleagues from all over the world. You arrive by bus at 2000 meters to the Sapienza Refuge and then continue either by cable car or with off-road Jeeps, a forced option in this case since the cable car was under maintenance. The tour offered beautiful views also thanks to the perfect clear weather, but objectively the jeep tour is very uncomfortable, much better the cable car if it had been available. After the tour up to 2700 we visited some natural caves carved by lava, and then had a super lunch with wine tasting at a local winery. I found the guides very prepared, kind and helpful, tour recommended!

12/10 would do again - We went on the tour as the only two English people in a group of German people. Enzo (the guide) made sure to translate all his incredible local knowledge into both English and German for the group. Enzo was so welcoming and friendly and knew a crazy amount of local knowledge, he was passionate and always had a fact about anything we saw or did on the tour. He even threw in a quick detour to the Cyclops stones and a brief explanation of their significance. You can choose to do Etna on this tour to 2000km or take a cable car and tour up to 3000km (this was an extra €78 per person as it's not covered by this excursion). We chose to stay at 2000km and it was fantastic! We did 2 crators, one solo and one with Enzo, listening to his local facts and interesting tid bits. We then headed for the enoteca and this was possibly the highlight for us. The wine and the food was incredible. There was SO MUCH FOOD, all of it local and delicious and the lady who served us was so lovely and explained all the food and wines- the people at this enoteca clearly have a passion for their work! You then head to try some liquors which are all lovely- definitely try the Etna Fire! You can then purchase the wines, condiments and liquors at the end. We also did a cave tour which was really cool (it's an old lava tube from Etna) and Enzo regaled us with facts the whole way there and back to our accomodation. 12/10 recommend and great value for money

Breathtaking Mt. Aetna and Wine with a Great Guide! - This is a great trip that was a lot of fun with a fabulous guide, Simone. He was a very energetic, knowledgeable, and attentive guide who made this trip a lot of fun. We were picked up and dropped off right at our Air B and B which made it easy for us. The ride up to Mount Aetna is so beautiful and Simone was full of stories and information. The views from the parking area at the top are breathtaking. While there is an option to hike around with the guide, we choose the Quad bike tour for an extra 135 Euros for the two of us which was out on the lava fields and down some paved roads. There is also a cable car to the top for an extra charge as well. I would recommend that you plan to spend the extra money on one of these options. The lunch and wine tasting was excellent with high quality food and excellent wine. We were a bit concerned initially as we were grouped together with a large work tour from Romania so there were 2 vans with 14 colleagues and us. Both the 2nd guide Giuseppe, and our guide Simone did a great job of helping us to feel comfortable with this larger group, and the work group were very kind in having conversations in English with us. It was a truly remarkable day and we can highly recommend it.

Wonderful Etna tour. - My Wife and I have been on many tours and this Etna Tour is right up there with the best of them. Our guide, Florence, was excellent, ensuring that everyone remained involved and safe. After the Etna experience the visit to the vineyard completed a wonderful experience. We would definitely recommend this tour.

A November day at Mt Etna - The pick up location and timing was exactly as stated. It ended up being only my husband and I so it was like private tour. We chose to do the hike around the mountain instead of the ATV or cable car. Our guide gave us lots of information about the mountain and the history. I felt the wine tasting was a bit rushed. We loved the wine and food but if you really want to appreciate it I think a separate tour would be better- if you have the time.
