Overview

Mobile ticket
Discover the beauty of Mount Etna on a private tour with pickup from your accommodation aboard a luxury Mercedes V-Class minivan and English-speaking driver.
Reach Rifugio Sapienza at 2,000 meters, where you’ll explore the Silvestri Craters with a light, scenic walk. For those who want to go higher, the cable car up to 2,900m is optional (extra €80 pp) and offers breathtaking views—but no pressure, the experience is incredible either way.
Then stop at Oro d’Etna to taste local honey and see the dramatic 1992 lava flow.
The tour continues at a local winery, where you’ll enjoy a wine tasting and light lunch overlooking the volcano.
Throughout the day, —your driver and proud Sicilian—will share stories, culture, and his deep love for the land. Unlike crowded group tours, this private journey is all about you: your time, your rhythm, your Sicily. Expect comfort, connection, and unforgettable soul.

5.00This was a wonderful trip—Etna is magnificent and the wine and food were fantastic. But what really made the experience was our new Sicilian friend, Sergio. I say friend, because that is how my wife and I felt about him after a splendid day. Sergio has extensive knowledge of just about every aspect of Sicily. He knows the history, the culture, the food, the drink, the geography, the geology, the horticulture, and so much more. His energy, his passion, and his enthusiasm for Sicily make the experience so much better than I can explain here. We began our day ascending Mt. Etna by (luxury) van. Words do not describe—it is majestic and fascinating and beautiful. Sergio then took us to a honey shop, where we got tastings of honey, olives, olive oil, and wine. Next was on to a large vineyard, where we enjoyed a multi-course lunch and another tasting. Saving the best for last, Sergio then took us to a lovely small vineyard, for a much more intimate and personalized tasting. The wines were fantastic, and the experience was top notch. As an added extra, Sergio took us to a ceramic shop at our request, and even showed us his hometown. Our best day in Taormina! My only regret was that we didn’t have Sergio plan the rest of our trip as well. We didn’t wonderful things, but none of it compared to our delightful day in Sergio’s care!!
The best of Mt Etna and it's wineries

5.00This was a wonderful excursion! Our guide Sergio was the best ! He was very knowledgeable about Cecilia, Mt Etna all the floral and fauna surrounding the towns...and gave us a wealth of information and experiences to take home with us. Excellent, attentive driver, with a clean, classy Mercedes Van. A true, honest passionate Cecilian you'd welcome in your home for dinner.
We had a great time...

5.00While on our honeymoon, Sergio guided us to Mt. Etna and two wineries (one more well known, the other one more secluded). He had fantastic energy and was incredibly informative on the tour. I can't recommend Sergio enough and will recommend they NEED to book this tour if visiting Taormina or nearby towns.
