    Words can’t fully describe how beautiful and special this tour was. The tour took me and my family around 7 hours from 8:00 to 15:00. During the tour we could sneak a peek at the rich history of Etna and Catania. We learned about the vulcano through visiting different beautiful locations, climbing inside a cave etc. The tour guide Ludovico was simply awesome he spoke great English and was very affectionate and professional in answering all our questions. He let us spend some time in a souvenir store where local artisan honey,olive oil and other things could be purchased. He also organized a full wine tasting of local wines in the amazing Murgo winery with a guided tour of the winery. I would strongly recommend it to everyone visiting Catania as it is a once in a life time experience truly worth seeing.

    We got the opportunity to enjoy the sunset during one of the most active period for Mrs./lady Etna. We couldnt imagine to visit Sicily without exploring this part of island, which creates its unique nature. We are glad our guide was Monica-the one of great couple ;) Monika took us to local shop with honey, wine and many other products, where she showed us the bees and explained things about the Etna landscape and specific growing processes. I need to state, that from the minute she picked us up in Catania , she didnt stop sharing information about Etna and whole Sicily It is really great to have a guide, who has a lot of knowledge and is not afraid to share.After few stops with spectacular views( i will not spoil it by saying what we saw,you need to see in person;)) we stopped for a coffee and snack and made little walks to lava caves and lower vulcanos..as there were some recent erruptions, the age of separate lava flows was quite visible. Its a lot of things we didnt know before the tour and now we feel almost like experts;) We saw an amazing sun set, had a great company and did not need to worry about weather or transfer. I can only recommend this tour and mainly this company Thank you, Monika;))

    A fantastic day, Etna is a fascinating place and with the knowledge of our guide Ludovico who is incredibly knowledgable of this area gave us all the information we needed to understand how this volcano has changed and effected the landscape and surrounding villages and changed the lives of local people. Including a view inside a cave, a visit to a redundant crater and remainder of a small mountain/valley to show the destruction from the lava flow. The wine tour and tasting was brilliant and of course very tasty. Great tasting plates to accompany the fantastic wines we tried. Then a tour of the process for the end result. Fascinating to see and makes you realise the work involved when you get open a good bottle of wine! Can’t recommend this tour enough without the knowledge of this local company you won’t get the full understanding of ‘Etna’ and her power.
