From Catania: Etna Small-Group Tour with Sicilian Tasting

Nous avons fait l’excursion avec Santi qui est un guide vraiment passionné drôle et très gentil, on a vraiment ressenti qu’il adorait son métier et c’était génial ! Le transport de Catane jusqu’à l’Etna est très apprécié Toutes les explications sur le volcan étaient géniales et nous avons même eu la chance d’avoir de super belles photos prises par Santi !! Je vous recommande cette excursion, on en gardera un super souvenir :)

We had a wonderful experience from start to finish! Santi was an excellent guide, very friendly, professional and easy to communicate with. He explained everything clearly and showed us pictures while telling us about Mount Etna, its history and previous eruptions. We learned a lot! The transportation from Catania was excellent. We went up to around 2,000 meters above sea level, explored the volcanic craters and the surrounding landscape, and even had a little adventure walking down a steep slope and seeing volcanic rocks created by eruptions. Afterwards, we visited a local winery and had a tasting included in the price. We tried red and white wines, liqueurs, olive oil, pistachio cream and other local products. Everything was very well organized and we were really happy with the experience. For the price, this tour is absolutely worth it. We highly recommend it! 🌋

The tour was absolutely wonderful. Our guide was very friendly, funny, and entertaining, and he was also great at taking photos. It was really interesting to learn more about the area, as his stories were both informative and engaging. We also really enjoyed the tasting. The location was beautiful, the food was exceptionally delicious, and the explanations made the whole experience even more special. Highly recommended! A fantastic experience from start to finish.

Santi was an extraordinary guide. With his many years of experience, he was incredibly knowledgeable about volcanoes and shared so many interesting facts with us. The trip was very educational, Santi’s explanations engaging and easy to learn from. We genuinely enjoyed it and actually learned a lot. The wine tasting and lunch were also wonderful. All in all, it was a fantastic program, and we had a really great time.

Tour bellissimo e bene organizzato. La possibilità di più punti di prelievo è veramente comodo. La guida molto brava a spiegare sia in italiano che in inglese, per coinvolgere tutti i partecipanti (3 italiani e 2 polacchi). Una volta scesi si inizia a scalare i vari crateri creatosi e nel mentre ci spiegava come si formavano e le storie dietro ai vari nomi. Camminata di 2 orette ben svolta anche con lo surf sulla sabbia per scendere! Una volta concluso il tour ci siamo fermati in una enoteca dove abbiamo potuto gustare i prodotti locali, molto buoni e anche degustazioni di vini.

Naszym przewodnikiem był Simone - bardzo miły i kontaktowy człowiek :) Opowiadał nam o wielu ciekawych rzeczach związanych z Etną i chętnie odpowiadał na nasze pytania. Był również fotografem dla całej grupy i zrobił nam świetne zdjęcia :) Fakt, że wejście na Etnę odbywa się rano również jest dobrze przemyślany - byliśmy całkowicie sami, przed przyjazdem innych większych wycieczek, więc mogliśmy się nacieszyć widokiem Etny bez innych turystów w tle. Degustacja po wycieczce również była super - mogliśmy spróbować lokalnych win, serów, oliwek, słodyczy oraz likierów. Bardzo polecam!

We had an outstanding experience. Everything was very well organized from start to finish, and the small group size made the experience much more personal and enjoyable. Our guide, Simone, was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, passionate about Etna, and explained the volcano’s geology, history, and recent activity in a way that was both informative and engaging. The Sicilian tasting was an excellent addition to the tour. We travel frequently, and this was one of the best guided tours we’ve taken. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sicily who wants to experience Etna with an expert guide.
