The Best Day of Our Vacation in Sicily - We had a fantastic experience indeed with Etna Experience. Their communication was among the best we’ve ever had (clear, prompt, and reassuring), which we especially appreciated while traveling in another country. When our original tour was canceled, they quickly arranged an alternative that turned out to be even better. Our guide Danilo was excellent—knowledgeable, thoughtful, and very attentive to the group’s needs. The mix of hiking, exploring a lava cave, enjoying local food and wine, and visiting Taormina made for a perfect day. It was also great value for the money, and we recommended it to friends who booked a tour as well. Highly recommended.

10/10 - Beautiful experience in the company of Mirko, a young, passionate and competent guy who made us guide. It is not every day that you see and walk in a volcanic area and see with your own eyes the effects that an eruption can create on the environment circumstances. Mirko also as an expert guide not only made us walk the paths to admire the passage but described and told us what we saw. After the walk on Mount Etna we went to eat in an area winery that produces a characteristic wine of July and here too I can only confirm the nice words. Finally after lunch we went to Taormina, a lovely place on which I think it is useless to write other words since it will be centuries in which poets and writers describe the beauties. To conclude, therefore, experience confirmed not only for the places but also for the Mirko guide and the tour operator who took care of the organization (including of course transport).

The best all-round tour you can get! - Just arrived back at my hotel after doing the Etna, wine and Taormina tour. Picked up promptly by Miaco (?Hope this is correct spelling). This guy is full of knowledge about everything to do with this tour, as well as other things! He is so easy to chat with and is a top-all-round-decent guy. Took us to the base camp where we swapped our trainers for hiking boots (included in the cost), and then set off to explore a lava cave, three of to one of the many craters on this mountain! After a great hike up this crater, we came back down and back to base camp for a very good sampling of red and white wines, with our lunch (again, lunch included in the price). Decent lunch it was as well. Then off to Taormina, where we spent the next 2 hours exploring on our own. Miaco gave us a good map of the town with top sites listed, as well as good write up explanations on all the top sites! After visiting here, it’s roughly an hours ride back to Catania and our drop off point. I had nothing but top quality communication from my initial email asking about the tour and dates, to been dropped back of in town! My personal opinion, I highly recommend these guys for your tours! Would love to use them again, but I’m going home tomorrow. Etnea Experience, please keep up the good work you guys do.

Surprising and shocking. - Taormina is charming and the excursion to Etna surprising. Excellent guide Valentina Amore, very clear and complete explanations of both the city and the Volcano. We were very happy and requested for the next day another excursion to Syracuse also with Valentina. Super recommended. You're not gonna regret it.

Refused to pick us up from our hotel - Good tour. However the tour provider refused to pick us up from our hotel and they forced us to take an expensive €50 taxi to a pick up point 30 minutes away from Catania in Acireale. Having paid extra for this tour to specifically be picked up from our hotel we feel hard done by and scammed as a result. We paid for a service which we did not get. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone.
