We had a great tour guide. The water at the gorge was chilly so we didn't go in, but took some great pictures, be prepared for the 240 stairs going down and back up. We didn't stay in the village very long before heading up to the mountains were we did a little hiking. We got to see where the 2002 lava flow ended along with some extinct volcano craters. The craters line up like buttons on a shirt. We hadn't eaten any lunch before we started hiking, so we only had enough energy to visited one crater. Make sure you are fuelled up before this part of the tour so you can see and experience more than we had the energe for. As a side excursion on the way down our guide took us to see some lava tubes, you can go down into the tubes if you have helmets which we did not, but it was still interesting to see and learn how they were used by the locals as refrigeration before electricity.

Very great people. Quick response, great driver. Well organised work. Suited for travelling with your family or friends with a fair price. I recommend them highly.
Alessandro was an absolutely incredible guide and driver who has now become our friend after just a couple of days in Sicily. He is professional, punctual and very knowledgeable about the sights and culture of Italy. He answers straight away on WhatsApp, and nothing is too difficult. Alessandro organised a fantastic tour of the Gambino Winery and took us to and from the winery. The owner of the winery gave us a private tour, incredible food and wine in a beautiful setting. Whether you need transport, tour or recommendations, you simply must use Alessandro. 5 stars, we can’t wait to come back and visit with Alessandro again.
We visited Silicy in May 2019 actually. The best decision was to not rent a car, but let Alessandro drive us, in his Mercedes! The advantages are that he knows the country, can guide you, no stress, and no worrying about the car, including parking. He drove us from Siracusa to Catania, including the Roman Villa Casale !!Amazing!! And Caltagirone for ceramics. The most impressive thing was I left my very expensice Stetson hat in his car and he came back after dropping us at the hotel, to bring it me. 45 minutes out of his way! He is an incredible man and we highly recommend him.
Beautiful tour of Etna . They were very kind and accurate throughout. The driving was great!! I will definitely come back to take my friends on vacation to enjoy a nice tour. Thanks to you. We had a nice hike ☺️
