Nando was a wonderful guide! He took great care of us. He was full of information. The lunch was delicious… the wine was average.

Love the mount etna and wine tasting part. Even though it felt a but rushed while on the top of Etna, because afterall you are with a big group of people with one volcanologist (if you choose the cable car + 4x4) and you cant keep up/hear much from the guide. Nevertheless the view and landscape of Etna was just indescribable. The wine tasting part was definitely 2nd highlight and worth more than what you paid for because of the amount of food they provided and the liqueur served after the wine tasting. But if you just wanna explore mount etna properly, this is less interactive and rushy as they just provide you the transport there and you need to sign up additional service to go up there and limited time to explore around.
