We thoroughly enjoyed our Etna Summit and Alcantara Tour. Both sites were truly beautiful to experience and the winery lunch was delicious.

Absolutely brilliant tour! My friend (the 2 Jills!) and I were on this part walking tour and lunch/wine tasting in the middle of October. Our guide Guiseppe was first class! He was very knowledgeable and made the whole day great fun! I would have no hesitation at all in recommending this trip. It is maybe not the cheapest Etna trip on offer, but you get what you pay for and this was worth the money for sure!

We had a wonderful time touring Etna with this company. Our guide, Daniele, was friendly and knowledgeable. The mountain was amazing and our guide for that portion was also great! Our lunch was delicious and the Gorge was beautiful. Overall, an excellent day!
