4 Private Volcano Tours in Sicily Worth Flying For

1.Etna Private Tour and Excursion

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 180 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $114Our pick

Review of a private Etna hike from Catania with Valle del Bove views, a lava cave, honey and wine tasting, and guide Antonio.

“Antonio was an amazing tour guide. He customized the tour to us based our preferences, the time we had available, the weather and other factors. Antonio was very knowledgable about the history of the region and volcanic activity in the area; we learned so much from him about the history of Sicily, Etna and Catania as we explored the area with him. When we booked our tour, we were just looking for someone to help us get around as we were on a cruise that was stopping at the port in Catania. But we were pleasantly surprised by the quality and level of care that Antonio provided us with. Thank…”

4.Private and Guided Tour on Etna with Wine Tasting included

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 64 reviews · 5 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $277

Review of a private Etna tour with Silvestri craters, cable-car option, honey tasting, Valle del Bove, and Gambino wine.

“The driver was OK. He was mostly a driver not a tour guide. The car he picked us up in was a very old and damaged car. Not our standard! He kept asking us what we wanted to see! Definitely not worth the price of $406.00. Not a good experience. Booking.com has MUCH BETTER experiences! Not sure if we will use Viator again?? We wasted our money on this tour!”
