Wonderful experience! Our guide Enzo was amazing. He has a lot of stories and he explains the Etna’s history. The wine tasting was also amazing! And the food as well. Must try experience!

tldr great time. Starting with interesting stories about living close to active volcano. Next Etna and the views from the top worth every cent. Adventure continued with quick lava tube excursion, it was interesting, going inside was exciting. Don't start me talking about wine tasting, it was so awesome, so much great food and exquisite wines.
