The trip was wonderful. The tasting was very nice. Natasha is very knowledgeable about Mt Etna and had many great stories to share. I liked the small group because we were able to come to an agreement to slightly alter our plans due to some uncooperative weather.

Very nice trip! The guide told us the history of Catania and Etna. Visited vine and olive oil testing on the way, took nice pictures in Silverstri crater and explored a lava cave. The weather was cloudy, unfortunately, so we could not see the sunset, but the view on the city lights below in Catania and Syracuse was amazing!

Loved the tour. Everything went smoothly and without problems. Salvatore (guide) was really nice and friendly, we had a lot of fun with him and learnt a lot. The tasting at the the Wineyard was also very interesting and really really delicious. Sadly the weather was really bad (rainy and stormy), but salvatore tried his best to make our trip worthwhile. The transfer from our Apartment and back also went without problems. Overall a very nice experience.
