Overview

Thanks to this tour you will have the opportunity to experience unique emotions, mixed with amazement and fear, for the breathtaking scenery and views but also the devastating and merciless power of the volcano that with its lava flows sweeps everything and changes the ambiance for centuries. But the volcano is also a big good brother for local people, giving them the fruits of the fertile land that you can taste first at the honey farm and then at the winery, thus immersing yourself in the aromas and flavors typical of this wonderful land full of contrasts.

The tour was very good. We encountered a lot of traffic, which probably cost us 45 - 60 minutes of time, yet, as a result, when we were at Mt. Etna part, we only went to the lowest portion of the volcano and felt rushed. As such, a few yards away was a lift to the upper portions of the volcano, which certainly would have been much more desirable. Nevertheless, when we reached the Gambino Winery, the experience was much better than we could have expected. The food and wines were superb. Our driver was very good, at one point stopping on the road to eat some fresh, wild blue berries.

This was an amazing Tour & highly recommend. Had a private driver for my family of four who picked us up at our Hotel in Taormina. Driver was incredible who made multiply stops along way prior to getting to Mt Etna to walk t our pleasure. We then headed to stop at small honey farm that included wine tasting & other pickings. After we went to Gambino Winery which was Beautiful & had a lunch with wine tastings. It was more like typical Italian Pickings which were great but included plenty of wine. Definitely a Must Tour To Do. La Vacanza Travel, Hands down is a Top Notch Company. I have used in Aruba, Costa Rica & Now Sicily. Don’t Hesitate.
