Roberto is extremely knowledgeable, he was SO nice and you can tell he’s passionate about what he does. The three wineries were all so different and so great to experience.

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 4 reviews · 6 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $245

Review of Etna Volcano Private Day Tour from Catania, with craters, hiking, tastings, costs, cable car advice, and booking tips.

“It is not worth the price. Basically what you get is a private transfer to the base of mount etna where you take the cable car, which is not included in the price. You are also asked to look for the agency that better suits you to take the cable car. If you pay additionally 2 euros to the normal price, you can skip the cue. Then you need to pay additionally for the bus transfers.”
