Unforgettable experience, truly amazing - We had a wonderful day on this tour. The whole experience was out standing and we can’t recommend this tour highly enough.. We were met exactly on time in an air conditioned Mercedes by Our guide Martino. Martino was a pleasure to spend the day with.. He spoke perfect English and was informative and attentive without being intrusive. The ride to Mount Etna was as interesting as being at Etna itself. There were were plenty stops for photo opportunities and to learn about life near and on Etna. The winery tour and tasting were wonderful.. The wine offerings and lunch were generous and delicious. Fantastic day, thank you so much Martino!

Amazing tours, wonderful driver - SO WORTH IT! - Everything about our tour was perfect. Martino was a warm and considerate tour guide and driver. He picked us up at our hotel promptly and kept us updated on what to expect throughout. He was very considerate of us as passengers and tourists and it was a pleasure to spend the day with him. Luckily we had a perfect day to see the craters (no rain and no clouds while we were there). We stopped at the honey “farm” before heading to the Gambino Winery for lunch and a wine tasting. As with the tour and driver, the winery was beautiful, food and wine good, and the staff was very helpful and pleasant. An overall wonderful day!

Wonderful day all around! - First off, our driver/tour guide Martino was a wonderful host- he was thoughtful, engaged, and personable. We stopped at the honey farm before going to the winery. The winery experience was really lovely as well. The space was beautiful and all the staff were also warm, welcoming, and helpful. The wine tasting was fun and the food yummy. It was an overall wonderful day and everyone we engaged with were truly lovely. Highly recommend this tour - especially Martino!

Enjoy Mother Etna and some Great Wine! - Riccardo did a phenomenal job driving around Etna and giving us history, showing pictures and maps, and answering questions. He know the area really well and stopped to let us take pictures. Gambino wine tour was great, food and wine pairings spot on. We ordered a case to send home. Highly recommend.

Excellent experience - Ricardo, with Taxi Catania, was an amazing tour guide for our day visiting Etna, the honey factory and winery. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. It’s clear that he loves his country, and wanted us to know all of the things he finds amazing. Thank you!

The term "tour" should be... - The term "tour" should be removed from the title - there was no tour. The driver was on time and did a great job getting us to Mt. Etna and the winery. So if you just need a driver this would be perfect (pricey - but good). The winery is a beautiful place/location - just incredible. However, the biggest challenge was that the driver spoke almost no English, which made things a little difficult and he couldn't share any information about what we were seeing as we drove to Mt. Etna or the winery, etc. The description also mentioned that we would be visiting a honey farm and that didn't happen and because the driver spoke almost no English it was difficult to inquire and understand why that stop didn't happen.
