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 took his tour on my 76th birthday - everything fine. The guides are experienced and knowledgeable mountaineers, with a great knowledge of English. They go up the cable car and in the 4WHD minibus, before taking us on a guided informative walk. Some of the cheaper tours being sold just drive you to the base of the cable car, and leave you to take the transportation up. Normally we like to take our own time around museums etc, but for this walk at the 3,000 (almost) height, it was important to have a knowledgeable guide. Go-Etna gave us a discount code because we took their tour. They are also a transfer company. We used them, and the discount, for a transgfer from our hotel in Catania to one in Syracuse. Sure, it was more expensive than taxi-train or bus - taxi, and a lot less hassle with suitcases and timing. We also used them (and the discount code) back from Syracuse to Catania airport. Everything was on time. I strongly recommend this company.

Great couple of hours taking part in Italian cooking! See as it was during Covid-19, my partner and I were the only participants. We were greeted by Luca and offered coffee while they prepared the kitchen for us. We helped make bread, learnt how to make macaroni and of course, pizza! we had 2 breaks - and at each, we ate what we made and had a litre of house wine! The macaroni was made into '"pasta alla norma'' and it was my favourite dish of the course. They even emailed us the recipes after. I highly recommend doing this class, it's a cool way to experience with locals.
