Review of Etna sunset trekking from Catania, with craters, lava tunnels, Sicilian wine, local snacks, and expert guides.

“This was a last minute booking that turned out to be the best thing we did during our short stay in Catania. It was absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend booking this if you’re curious about Mount Etna and this history that surrounds it. Our guide, Renato, was the cherry on top. He made our experience truly special and magical. We left feeling like we made a true friend and if we ever find ourselves back in Catania we will be sure to try and book with Renato again.”
Hike the Via Francigena from Siena through Tuscan hills, then taste local wines and explore medieval Monteriggioni.

“This hike was long and a little strenuous at times, but we'll worth it. Our guide, Alessia was super nice and explained so much along the way. The final stop at Monteriggioni was great and we had plenty of time to explore on our own.”
Review of Anchorage’s Matanuska Glacier hike, including glacier gear, scenic drive, honey tasting, costs, fitness needs, and practical tips.

“The glacier was AMAZING! The crew at glacier that guides you were super nice and basically rockstars. I will say, the drive there is pretty tough. It’s a lot of winding, beat up bumpy roads, and if your driver hits those turns going too fast then slams on the breaks like we had, bring some Dramamine…but she was very nice! The shop for the local honey and wine tasting is a cool little place. Not a true tasting but worth the stop! We didn’t get to try the wine, but the honey was really good and the woman making the coffee was very sweet. This glacier hike is a once…”
Hike Geumjeongsan with a local guide, then enjoy village-made makgeolli, Korean dishes, mountain views, and a small-group Busan experience.

“HugYou was an amazing guide. I had really great conversations with him and the other person on the hike. The views of the city were really great and the rice wine and food we had in the village after was some of the best I had on my trip. Highly recommend this if you want to do something that gets you out of the city.”
Hike Geumjeongsan with a local guide, enjoy Busan views, and share makgeolli and village food at a mountain hideaway.

“If there was 10 stars this tour would get it. A great hike - no rush with beautiful scenery. Starts off going through East gate of a fortress wall and ends with a delicious lunch with makgeolli. Guided by a super friendly guide who relates well with all. Great day out in Busan.”
Review of Siracusa’s Etna trek and winery tour, with lava caves, volcanic views, Sicilian tasting, small groups, and practical tips.

“Corrado was absolutely amazing! Sicily had a heavy rainstorm the day before our tour and a lot of the roads were washed out. We coordinated the tour even with the current rain and potential poor weather and it turned out to be an awesome bright day on Mount Etna! We got to see lava flows, go inside a lava cave, walk on the Silvestri crater, and see so much of the surrounding area. We also got to enjoy lovely treats in the honey town of Zafferana, and at the Enoteca dell'Etna where we tried wine, delicious local treats like arancini, and liquors with our sommelier Giuseppe, who was incredibly informative,…”
Hike Santorini at sunset, see the Caldera by night, taste four local wines, and enjoy a traditional Greek dinner with hotel transfers.

“A great tour, felt like a perfect small group and we were regularly checked in with as to how we were getting along! Very informative and interesting throughout. An engaging tour guide who both led and harboured conversation. Delicious meal and wines to finish off too, with a range of fantastic dishes to share.”
Trade Sintra’s crowds for a sunset Jeep ride, cliffside hike, Portuguese petiscos, wine, and a secret Atlantic beach.

“Brilliant tour hosted by Bruno! We travelled through Sintra, stopping at a number of palaces which Bruno told us all about. We then drove to the coast in his brilliant red Jeep. A really fun experience! The hike down to the beach was brilliant, not too hard and well worth it! The beach was stunning, great snacks, beautiful views and fantastic company. We also had Salvador on our trip, he’s on a placement from Uni and learning the tour guide ropes. Between them we had a brilliant and highly memorable trip. I’d highly recommend this tour - it’s a great way to see Sintra and the coast!”
Review of Etna trekking and wine tasting from Catania, with lava caves, crater walks, Sicilian lunch, wine, transport, and practical tips.

“We were picked up by our tour guide promptly and the journey was good and our guide (Dan) was very informative. The tour was great and wine tasting/taster food was great. Only issue we had was that our friend left his glasses in the van. The company acknowledged they had them and I asked they post these back to the UK and heard nothing since.”
