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 guide Giuseppe was exceptional and had a great way of conveying the history and geology of the area. The honey farm was interesting. The winery was good but the lunch was mediocre, the service was a little slow. All in all it was a good experience and I would recommend the tour.

Dress in layers for the cooler temperatures at Etna. Throughly enjoyed experience at Gambino Winery. Recommend this excursion.

Martino was an excellent driver and guide. We 2 couples were picked up from our hotel in a very comfortable luxury vehicle. Then we were driven up Mt Etna, stopping occasionally to view lava rock, craters, and evidence of towns that had once existed but had been covered by ash and lava. Then we stopped at a rest stop to use facilities (for pay) and get a snack along with hundreds of others. There was a long slow line to pay an extra €5 fee to see the large craters, which was not included in our trip price. Then we drove to a honey farm, joining hundreds of other people. At the farm were tasting samplings and a gift shop. I noticed most tourists there were using ONE TOOTHPICK for each sample brought to their mouth, which grossed me right out. After this we joined hundreds of other people at the Gambino winery, where we sat in a large room with about 40 tables of other small parties nearby. Think cafeteria. At our price point we certainly didn’t expect to feel herded with others at the stopping points along the way or to need to pay extra to see craters. In hindsight our party thought we could’ve easily driven ourselves up the mountain and could’ve had a more pleasurable experience at a smaller boutique winery for far less than we paid for this tour. We can’t recommend this tour.

What a great trip. Giovanni was on time and was a great guide. He spoke quite good English and was very knowledgeable with the facts and best locations for viewing in the area. An experienced driver, and made us feel welcome and safe. Highly recommended

This was a very relaxing, informative and fun experience. Our driver/guide Martino was AMAZING. He went above and beyond to make us feel good. He was incredibly gracious. We saw the majestic mt etna and had an amazing lunch with wonderful Wine at a local winery on the slopes of Mt etna. I HIGHLY recommend this tour. It is well worth the price. Thanks Martino for making this special.
