“We truly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience the Etna volcano in a way that feels very comfortable and safe. Our tour guide Gaetano has drove us around all the best spots and provided us with a dose of knowledge about the volcano. Not only was it educational, but also very entertaining. We got to experience the cave with the flashlights and also taste some Sicilian snacks and wine. The perfect ending of the whole trip was getting to see the sunset from a truly amazing spot at 2000mt. If you get Gaetano as your guide you will for sure not be bored ;))”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,155 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $118Top rated

Mount Etna and Taormina from Catania in one day: lava cave, optional cable car, Sicilian tastings, and free time in Taormina.

“Took the cable car and 4x4 vehicle to the highest point allowed by the tour. Keep in mind you do not go to the peak of the volcano. You go up to about 11000 feet. The walk up the volcano was challenging and the guide taking you to the top was useless as the group size was about 50 people and could not hear anything. Our driver for the day was Salvo. He did an excellent history of the areas around Mt. Etna. The winery visit was ok. The group also went to the city of Taormina which consumed 3hours. This was too much for the day trip. Suggest to…”
