“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 tastes of the area. Eduardo is the best guide one can hope for. Very knowledgeable and even more important-he is very passionate about his work and wants very much to share it with you.
