    This was a fantastic tour! Our guide, Kevin, was very personable and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about Etna history and geology, as well as Sicilian culture. The tour was well paced, with several crater stops and a wonderful wine, oil, honey, olive, etc., tasting at mid-morning, and a three-course lunch at the last stop. I booked this tour to let my family, who was visiting from the US, experience Etna; in a 10-day tour of five Sicilian towns, this excursion was my sister’s favorite. Definitely worth the price!

    Enjoyed all five stages of the tour. Started at the base, drove up to the ORO d Etna honey winery, went to a lookout (great for pics), went down into a cave, and ended at the mountain top for exploration. We then proceeded to lunch on Etna. Great day, and hats off to our wonderful guide!!!
