    Fantastic trip with Giuseppe who was very welcoming and knowledgeable! The volcano and lava cave were very interesting and Giuseppe provided lots of information. The vineyard was great and they were very generous with both wine and the local food items to taste. All in all a fantastic way to spend a day!

    Perfect day ať all. We have been picked up with Pepe and drive one hour to reach cable station bellow Etna first peak, where we deciced to pay extra 68€/person to use cable car and 4x4 bus to reach 2750 m (guided tour as well) and see one small Etna crater. This is to be sad that no permission to go upper is prohibited due to safety reason. Also do not underestimated temperature and take some wind jacket and outdoor shoes . After that we enjoy nice and tasty degustation at Palmento Arena. Very recommended. And Pepe was a really nice and friendly Guide.
