“Alex was a great guide to our first excursion on Etna. He was super polite, funny, welcoming, and very knowledgeable about Etna. The tour was well balanced between the informative and historical elements and the fun outdoor hiking. He answered all manner of questions beyond Etna and organized some fun photo shoots for us along the way. The wine tasting was at Gambino Winery and was also a great end to the day.

“We have enjoyed all 5 of the Viator excursions that we’ve taken over the last 2 weeks but THIS one was our absolute favorite! Maurizio was very knowledgeable about Mt. Etna’s history and geology. He really made the day special by personalizing our tour. He shared his love of Sicily, its people, its traditions and its culture. The lunch and wine-tasting were both DELICIOUS and scenic. We were fortunate and so blessed to have Maurizio as our guide-this was an experience we will always remember!”
Taste seven Etna wines, honey, olive oil, and a Sicilian lunch while visiting Zafferana and two wineries from Catania.
“Glad we had a great driver (Salvo) to get us through the narrow, winding streets of badly parked cars even if it might be paint scrapingly close! The honey & oil after a trek up the mountain in the minivan was welcome.........easy to go crazy buying stuff ;p The vineyards were beautiful and wish we had more time to explore the first (La Gelsomina) but Guiseppe was very informative on how they operate and their new West Sicily partnership. Lunch was delicious and needed given we were trying 7 wines (3 before we arrived there). The tour was more full with time outside amongst the vines. I knew I'd be…”
