Antonio and Elena were excellent! Very friendly, personable and flexible. Etna decided to hide herself on the day, but, we still had an excellent time. Great varied stops for local produce, tastings and wine.

Reviews
Jacopo was an EXCELLENT guide and the Etna Jeep tour exceeded our expectations. Really fun, comfortable and interesting. A highlight for our Taormina visit. Highly recommended.
I wanted to like this tour, and genuinely Mt Etna is very interesting. Pickup from downtown Taormina was easy. However, the value you get for what you pay for is simply not worth it. Do yourself a favor and find another tour. One of the stops was completely emitted from the tour (the Wine and Honey Tasting). Instead, we were brought to a roadside "winery", where anyone can go, and were served wine from a PLASTIC cup with zero information about the wine. No honey tasting was included either. Everything else on this tour you do is essentially free, so you are just paying for a VERY expensive ride.
Etna should not be missed. Had a wonderful day with Antonio and Eleanor exploring the non-dangerous parts. Recommend to others!
Do not book any other trip. An absolutely amazing experience. Jacobo was just the most friendly and knowledgeable guide. The tour was extremely well paced and you felt that you did not miss out on any detail. We enjoyed the visit to the winery which was not just about the wine but the locally produced condiments from the winery. The cave visit was so cool and Jacobo was so knowledgeable. Jacobo even gave us some fantastic places to visit on our way to Taormina. We had the most fantastic day.
The trip was comprehensive with nothing extra to pay. The inclusive of safety equipment was important. Our guide Max was knowledgeable and shared his experience with us. Lunch was was very good.
Amazing experience and way of seeing Etna. The lava tube was incredible and something we would never have done without this tour. Antonio and Max were amazing and so knowledgeable.
Very fun day. The host was very accommodating for my husband who uses a walker for mobility. Thank you again!
Great trip to see Etna and the Lava Caves - guide was very good listened to what we wanted such as how far we wanted to walk etc and we had a great time with an amazing lunch at the end
Fantastic trip! Thank you Antonio and Antonia! Etna was fantastic, comfortable drive and great food and wine tasting. Bravo!
We had an absolutely fantastic experience. The operator offers really great value, they are full knowledge regarding Etna and the surrounding area, they were also super friendly and helpful.
Great day with Max today - picked us up dead on time and was really friendly and courteous all day. Max was also really knowledgeable and told us so much about the island , formation of lava flows, history of Etna etc. highly recommended!
Great trip with Antonio. Great attention to detail, lava tubes were so neat as well as all aspects of Mt. Etna. Our family thoroughly enjoyed trip. Would Highly reommend this tour.
This was the perfect way for us to experience the great Mount Etna since we did not want to do any strenuous hiking. We got to see Valle del Bove and go inside a lava tube. Etna’s landscape is magical. Max was the perfect guide for us. He is very knowledgeable and has a lot of passion for Mt. Etna. We also thoroughly enjoyed the James Taylor tunes on our ride up and down the mountain.
Antonio was amazing and a great guide during the day. We learned a lot about culture and history of Etna, Catania and Sicily. Highly recommended tour!
Our guide Jacob was fantastic! He gave us LOT of information not only about Etna and the nature sorounding it! But also about the Sicilian way of life in general! Great views, good wine and great company from Poland and Brazil! Strongly recomended!
Great tour of Mt Etna - Loved being able to see the vast lava flow fields, hike up to see the craters and going into the lava tube/cave was a great experience. Stop at winery was nice to be able to sample a few wines, olive oils and honey. Pickup at hotel was so convenient - wonderful tour guides who were knowledgeable and looked after us well. Highly recommend
We had a wonderful day led by Antonio, and supported by Iacopo and Elisabeta. They could not have been more attentive or eager to make sure this was an amazing tour.
Wonderful day spent today in the company of Antonio; we took a tour on Mount Etna, discovering flavors and places we had never seen before. The day went by starting from the slopes of Zafferana up to Rifugio Sapienza, passing between one lava flow and another and tasting the local honey and wine, with flavors that recall the richness of the land of Etna, which gives the soil excellent fertilizer for the plants that explode with their colors and flavors. We discovered places that I, as a person from Catania, had not seen, also thanks to his powerful and safe off-road vehicle, which took us everywhere, up to Rifugio Sapienza where we were able to enjoy excellent pasta and a good arancino. I recommend everyone to go with Antonio, who was an excellent narrator of the history of Etna. Compliments.
A fantastic experience on Mount Etna! We took the jeep tour with Antonio and his daughter: extremely professional, very knowledgeable, and at the same time warm and welcoming. We immediately felt like we were among friends. The landscapes are spectacular; seeing Mount Etna this close takes your breath away. The tasting of local wines and honeys was the icing on the cake: excellent products presented with great passion, just like the brunch with arancini they offered, which was a real delight: flavorful and generous. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Mount Etna in an authentic and unforgettable way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, my Sicilian friends!
Fantastic experience and absolutely recommended! A well-organized tour that allows you to experience Etna in an authentic way. The guide was knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging, making every stop interesting: from the jeep route to the trekking on the craters, up to the exciting visit to the lava cave. The tasting of Etna wines and typical products was the perfect conclusion to a truly special day. Thanks to Madre Natura Etna Tour for the professionalism and passion with which you helped us discover this extraordinary territory!
Beautiful experience, Antonio is an excellent guide, attentive to all our needs to give us a top-notch experience. If I had to do this experience again, I would rely on Antonio again. I highly recommend it
Wonderful staff, super attentive and punctual. Immaculate service: Staff responds quickly to your questions and are accurate in the details. Vehicles are new and well cared for. New and in excellent condition security equipment. The explanations are clear and with lots of information that help to better understand the peculiarities of the Etna region. We love the experience and recommend it.
Very interesting and impactful tour by the main goal itself. And if it wasn't enough, it became an extremely pleasant tour by the participation of guides who interacted intensively with us in a pleasant, friendly, gentle and fun way. They made the experience even richer. Thank you to Lisabeth, Antonio and Iacopo.
The tour begins with our pick up at the hotel in Taormina, a stop for a Coffee courtesy of the tour in addition to other mimos like water and honey whales. The second stop was at the site where the lava of the Etna stopped moving in the eruption that lasted 3 years (from 1991 to 1993). As we climbed the Etna park, our guide explained to us the importance of Etna for local cultivation and told us some curiosities about the flower Genista aetnesis, the main raw material for the production of Chanel No. 5. We had another stop to taste the wines of the Etna and taste honey, liquors and the fire of the Etna. Until we reached the highest stop accessible by car to enjoy an arrangement. In short, it was all I expected and a little bit more :) The cordiality, kindness and affection the guides led us made everything even more special.
We had a great time. The ride was excellent. Thank you.
super super car, I want to go again
An unforgettable experience in the middle of nature, Sicilian sun in good company. I'll do it over and over again.
Unique experience, Antonio knows how to deal with people, we had a great time,
