An excellent tour. The Etna tour was superbly guided by Janet. She is knowledgeable about history and the natural environment and the group size (8 adults in comfortable minibus) ensured that duration of the fascinating walk was comfortable for everyone. The tour of a lava cave was an extra unexpected bonus to am appreciative group. The wine tasting at Murgo was exceptionally hospitable. in other countries, wine farms give you at most a couple of biscuits, if anything. Murgo's tasting platter (ham, salami, mortadella, 3 cheeses, olives, frittata, bread basket, etc) was almost a complete gourmet meal. The 5 wines tasted confirmed that this is one of Sicily's best wineries. Our guide Giuseppe was also a gold mine of information and generous with his advice on the best non-tourist trap gastronomic destinations. Altogether this tour is highly recommended!
