An absolute must-do when you are planning trip to Sicily! - If you're planning a trip to Sicily, the "Etna Tribe" excursion to Etna and Taormina is an absolute must-do, and I can't recommend it enough. Our guide, Andrea, made the experience unforgettable. His extensive knowledge, friendly demeanor, and genuine passion for the region added so much value to our trip. Not only did he expertly guide us through the stunning landscapes of Mount Etna and the charming town of Taormina, but he also shared invaluable tips on must-see spots and must-try eateries in Catania. Andrea went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible, making this excursion truly worth every penny. If you're in Sicily, don't miss this incredible adventure. I’ve already recommended it to all my friends, and I’m sure you’ll love it too!

Fabulous Etna Experience! - What a great day! From pick up to drop off, our guide Claudio was friendly, informative and helpful. We followed his advice and took the quad bike tour around Etna, experiencing the vast and many different landscapes of the area. It was such good fun and a great way to explore. The local food sampling finished off a superb day. Would highly recommend this trip!

Brilliant Etna Excursion and sampling with a small group! - A great half day tour (although was slightly longer than half day with the inclusion of the food/drink sampling session). Eduardo made this into a 5* review - his friendly and informative character was a highlight. He was clear and patient with the small group and a safe driver! We went into some lava caves (equipment included), before arriving at base point - where we had the option of the cable car & bus to the summit (for an extra price). The description of this was very clear and for me - the experience was well worth the extra cost!

Great experience overall- just note includes travel to 1900m and you pay more for the next bit of ascent. - Really fun day out- our guide Pepe was friendly and informative. Description in the listing is pretty accurate for what you get. The cave visit is really brief but you still get to see some cool geological features. Be aware that this tour booking only involves being driven to a kind of base camp area at around 1900m. In order to go any higher you have to pay 50-70 EUR depending on whether you want to cycle/ ATV or get a bus ride. Going up the slopes of Mt Etna is really cool and I'm glad we did this- we were fortunate to see and hear some volcanic activity and enjoyed the beautiful views. The last part of the tour was a tasting experience in a gorgeous little winery and the nibbles were really delicious.

Mount Etna Tour - The Mount Etna tour was once in a lifetime experience! We were able to see her up close and while she was smoking. The cable car ride option is highly recommended to see her close up. Guiseppe our tour guide was very kind and knowledgeable about Etna and Taormina. It was a very enjoyable tour and ended with delicious wine and food tasting!
