“Was really great trip - Ricardo was chatty and insightful throughout the trip. Really good mix of activities and lovely group of people on the tour with us :) Only minor improvement would have been pickup from our b&b which was enroute but instead we had a 10 minute walk to pick up spot - not too much trouble though. Etna was really impressive and a good hike around. Enjoyed the stop for lunch and wine. The gorge in the afternoon was pretty spectacular… the water was very invigorating….! Overall a really great trip and would recommend if you are looking for something a bit active!Read more”
