Great day with a great guide - Mt. Etna is a real experience, I thought I knew a lot about volcanos, it turned out I was wrong.
It's amazing to see the power of Mother Earth.
On top of that we enjoyed a very high quality tastings of products from Etna area-wine, olive oil,honey, amaro and much more-all have the unique tates of the area.
Eduardo is the best guide one can hope for. Very knowledgable and even more important-he is very passionate about his work and wants very much to share it with you. The combination is infecting.
Thank you Eduardo.

Great experience. Tour guide Angelo bravo!! - Our tour guide, Angelo, provided us with historical, geological and anecdotal emotions. Very good, prepared, friendly and extremely available for any kind of information or need. Etna tribe provides pick-up service directly to your doorstep both round trip and return, even for those not staying in the hotels indicated among the different options. We visited Mount Etna, a cave, stop in the city of Zafferana with a tasting at the honey museum and Taormina. All excellent! I highly recommend it!!

Our guide was very good,... - Our guide was very good, he gave us lots of informations about Mt Etna. Even though the weather didn’t cooperate, we still had fun walking around the crater and into the larva tube. Taromina is a beautiful city, really worth the visit.

Totally recommend... - Totally recommend Francesco! He is very knowledgable, has a very good sense of humor, can count on him! The weather on Etna is unpredictable, so you need luck to be able to see it. We were, but just keep in mind, that not all days are the same.

a must-see attraction - Taormina is a beautiful town overlooking the sea. There are many, many shops, restaurants etc and it is great for just walking around. You can go for an hour or half a day, either way, it is really worthwhile and relaxing.

Fantastic Mt. Etna & Taormina Tour with Nando! - Our Mt. Etna and Taormina Village Full-Day Tour with Etna Tribe was an amazing experience, thanks to our fantastic guide and driver, Nando.
From the start, Nando’s friendly nature, deep knowledge, and passion for Sicily made the tour special. He shared fascinating insights about Mt. Etna’s history and geology, making the visit much more than just sightseeing. We had plenty of time to explore the craters, enjoy stunning views, and even taste local honey and wines.
In Taormina, he gave great tips on must-see spots like the Greek Theatre and the best places to eat. His recommendations were spot-on, and the town itself was absolutely beautiful.
What made this tour truly special was Nando’s genuine care and enthusiasm. He kept the group engaged, made sure everyone was comfortable, and shared fun local stories along the way.
If you’re visiting Catania, this tour is a must! Ask for Nando – he’s the best! 🇮🇹🌋🏞️

Etna and surroundings fantastic with Isabella - We were my 20-year-old daughter and I with Isabella, picked us up next to our hotel in Catania with utmost kindness, and we were lucky to spend an absolutely special day.
Isabella speaks Spanish perfectly and her knowledge of Catania, Etna, and Castilian culture
And Sicilian is overwhelming.
He tried all the time to teach us as much as possible within the contracted tour. Always adapting to our preferences.
If you are going to Catania do not hesitate to request this guide. When we come back to see what's left of us we'll do it.

Good experience despite the cloudy, rainy and windy weather. - We had the tour in English. Daria was our driver and tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm. We had a lovely time hiking with her in Mt Etna. It was just unfortunate that we didn’t enjoy the view because it was very cloudy. We had a good time on wine and honey tasting experience too. We had been to Taormina before but my husband and i still enjoyed the walk there despite the rain. Daria also made a very good restaurant recommendation. Would definitely book this trip again when the weather is better.

Scam company beware - Beware scam company with highly unethical refund policy and no customer support! Any good reviews they have is surely just due to Italy being awesome. But this company is a heartless impersonal racket for taking your money.
I contacted them directly and immediately four times and they did not respond at all and then coldly tried to accuse me of being a “no show”, to justify keeping money for service not delivered. Very impersonal, as if it’s outsourced.
I have since found much more sincere your company’s that have integrity. Save your dignity and book elsewhere.
