Incredible experience. Pasquale is a very nice and upbeat person. He took us to the best wineries. From the moment he picked us up it was clear that he had the entire day in perfect control. He is always professional and also fun. We really enjoyed the wine and food and the cellar tours. Pasquale even sent us several pictures from the day of fun that we had together. It was the highlight of our trip to Sicily. The communication was great - I asked Pasquale to arrange to have a cake for my girlfriend's birthday ... he made sure that at every destination there was a cake and everyone sang. He made me look like a hero! Thank you Pasquale!!!

We had a very nice day out with beautiful hiking and some excellent wine and food. Pepe was very good company, spoke excellent English and was knowledgeable about Etna but also much more. There is not too much driving from Taormina which is good. Would reccomend as a day trip! Also was COVID safe throughout.

We decided to go visit Mt Etna and it was one of the highlights of our trips to Sicily. The booking of the excursion itself was easily done with the help of Andrea who provided us with all the requested information. On the day itself we met our guide Janet who first brought us to collect the necessary gear and then took us to commence our adventure on Mt Etna. Janet is a passionate geologist/vulcanologist who showed us some very interesting things during the walk, and helped us understand the different stages of eruptions as well as the different types of lava and the ways they present itself. A packed lunch and water was provided for us by Etna Experience. The whole day we saw stunning views at different altitudes, combinations of colors in the sorrounding forrest and the famous cave "Grotta dei Lamponi". It was a very informative and fun experience, I would recommend it to anyone visiting Sicily.

This was an excellent trip. The guide, Tony, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. He lives in one of the villages on the national park and hi knowledge was excellent and he was so informative and enthused on the subject. The half day tour was just the right length as well.
