Omar was a great guide and was very accommodating. He was kind and knowledgeable. The wine tasting and lunch was very good, but could have been better! My Etna was windy and cold. Dress warm!

What a special day we had with Alberto. We are a family of five with three teenagers and Alberto answered all our questions and made it so fun and interesting for all of us. He had such a positive outlook and had us so excited to learn about Etna. The lunch was amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you!
