Top Catania Nature and Wildlife Tours

"Luca is a wealth of knowledge about the mountain, the geology and the vegetation surrounding Etna. The trip was memorable because of the information he shared. His passion for “Mama Etna” was very evident. The five hours in the tour was well worth it. We highly recommend the tour. Thank you, Luca!"

"Our tour guide Giuseppe was very kind and knowledgeable, even though this was his first month touring. It is a nice tour, but do not expect to much from the caves and a lot of trekking."

"Had an awesome time touring Mt Etna and the nearby winery 10/10 would highly recommend. Once in a lifetime experience."

"Excellent guide (Maurizio), totally recommendable tour. It does worth 100%, you cannot visit Catania without at least a half day trip to mount Etna"

"What a great experience. We had a wonderful tour guide who provided an detailed history of Mount Etna. We never felt rushed during the tour. Once in a lifetime experience of an active volcano."

"Our guide Salvatore was extremely knowledgeable! It was just the right amount of History, monuments, and time on our own to explore. Lots of walking, and lots to see!"

"Alessio has been a perfect guide for us. First we went to Etna and we received every explanations, then we had lunch in a very nice place where we ate typical sicilian food, and finally we enjoyed Taormina. We think the tour is perfect and very complete and we recommend to everybody."

"Agata was the perfect guide. I have travelled all o er the world and she is the most passionate orater of a city I have encountered. Lovely food and delightful anecdotes. Throughly enjoyed it. Agata was very gracious in answering all my questions even those not related to the tour Gracie xx"

"Armando did a great job of getting us up and down the narrow streets and sharing life in Sicily as well as historic sites. Taormina is a nice little town with a Roman amphitheater and plenty of tourist shops and cafes. Castlemole had a nice view, but not really much else up there to do."

"Had a great day, pick up from the hotel was on time, went to the meeting point and everyone went away on their different trips. We were with Salvo in the morning and Christien in the afternoon. Both very professional and informative. We had a great day with a lot of fun. Broken up with a nice lunch at the restaurant near the ski lift. Well worth the money."

"Perfect tour and guide , we’ve had a lot of fun and enjoyed the full length of the trip. We’ve booked trekking shoes and the guide brought us the exact size which helped us visit seamlessly the etna sightseeings. Our guide had great knowledge about the volcanos and Sicily history Top notch guide with hotel drop and pick up. Many thanks"

"Etna and Taromina with Marzia as great tour guide was perfect! She took care of us and she adjusted according to your preferences"

"The tour guide was helpful and also explained very good, I really enjoyed this tour thumbs up for the great experience."

"Orazio was an excellent guide (this was our first experience riding horses)! He even offered to pick us up at the airport. The ride was very enjoyable, we got to see a less touristy side of Etna. We also had a meal together (included in the experience) -- the food was very local and thus very delicious. We really recommend this!"

"We had an incredible trip to Mt. Etna! Enzo picked us up at our Airbnb apartment in Catania, and told us we were the only ones on the tour that day, so we could design our trip any way that suited us. He navigated the trip through town and up to Etna expertly, and gave us plenty of info about the history, geology and mythology of the mountain while he drove, which was some impressive multi-tasking, considering the driving alone was a challenge. He got us neatly through ticket lines and onto the cable car for the trip to the top. The views from that level were amazing, and the landscape was lunar... it was windy, cold but not freezing, and bright, and we heard the sound of rocks crunching that Enzo told us later was a common sound of volcanic activity. After we came back down, he was waiting and then took us on a series of crater hikes all over the area, and a nice walk down below the tree line to show us the vegetation and a stone refuge house for hikers. Enzo really knows his stuff, his English is great he is multilingual, and he couldn't have been more generous with his time and his expertise. He put in a long day with us, and kept offering more opportunities of things to see and do. If you are a hiker or interested in natural history you should definitely ask for him. We had a great time!"

"Our guide Denise was very friendly, informativ with a good sencense of humor. She was patient, very attentive. We enjoyed every moment of the tour. We can really recommend it. It is worth the money. Comfortable car with enough space."

"We had a fantastic and informative time on this tour. As we were the only two people, our tour guide, Gioele, treated it as a private tour. He was an enthusiastic storyteller in sharing his knowledge of Sicily, anything from its history to current life. His explanations made the ride all the more pleasant. For our first winery visit, we had a passionate sommelier, who gave us a tour of the vineyard and winery and conducted the wine tasting. As I am a wine enthusiast, she keenly answered any questions I had regarding vine training, canopy management, wine production, maturation, etc. It was almost a private course in winemaking in Sicily. We had lunch in the second winery, and this tour accommodated for a vegan diet."

"Very nice day trip, the guide Antonino was super nice and professional. He was very flexible, he adapted to our pace and what we wanted to do. I recommend."
