Review of Etna Est’s six-hour Mount Etna trip from Catania, with crater walks, lava cave, tasting, hotel pickup, and sunset views.

It was so helpful that this tour offered a collection option, as we are staying at a hotel on the edge of town and it is a real pain to get into the city centre.

Review of Etna and Wine Tasting from Taormina, with crater hikes, lava tunnels, Sicilian lunch, wine, pricing, tips, and honest advice.

“I did this trip with my wife and two sons and we all enjoyed it a lot. Our guide Alex was very knowledgeable and very passionate about volcanoes and gave us loads of information on the way to Etna including his past experiences of eruptions. The hike on Etna was very enjoyable, quite steep in places but we were given a hiking stick to use. Our guide took care of our safety at all times. Interesting walk though the lava tunnel also. Really enjoyed the winery visit. Plenty of food and plenty of wine so arrived back at our hotel very happy.”

The wine tasting: amazing. It was a real meal with full explanation about the region and wines and so much good food! I definitely recommend this tour if you need a tour but don't want a big group.”
