Catania: Mount Etna Sunset Trekking with Wine Tasting

2.Mount Etna Sunset Trekking with Wine Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 140 reviews · 6 hours · from $81Top rated

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.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 89 reviews · 8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $310

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…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 50 reviews · from $111

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,…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 29 reviews · 5 hours · from $73

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.”
