Private Tour Of Etna With Wine Tasting And Lunch In The Cellar

Alessandro was amazing guide. The Tour of the city, Mt Etna, and lunch at a winery. A perfect day with extremely knowledgeable guide. He brought all the history to life. Sicilywithlove I would highly recommend.

Alessandro was a wonderful guide! He is very knowledgeable about the area and a pleasure to be around. Exceeded our expectations.

Alessandro was terrific. He was prompt and went beyond expectations. He added the little touches that make it unique.

Took day trip from Taormina to Etna stopping in some villages and Gambino vineyard. Alessandro our driver was great. He was able to guide us to interesting places to see, explain the local history and was good company.

Our guide Alessandro is very knowledgeable,helpful and kind. We had a variety of local wines and food at Gambino vin yard. This tour was absolutely our highlight of this trip.

Etna and Gambino winery, fantastic experience with Marco the tour guide, really professional and knowledgeable. I suggest the experience.

We had an amazing tour with Alessandro, It was extremely funny, interesting and wholesome. He was very helpful, kind, and just a pleasure to be around. Thank you so much, highly recommend.!

Tour of Mt. Etna, Cathedral, stops along the way, and especially the Gambino winery made for an absolutely memorable day! Really spectacular! Also our driver, Alessandro, was wonderful and very informative!! Don’t miss this tour and definitely request Alessandro!! Just amazing!

Alessandro was awesome. Very informative about all of the culture and history of Etna. His sense of humor and chill demeanor made him the perfect guide for the day.

Wonderful tour. Great experience. Alessandro was an excellent guide. And we had a very pleasant day. And memorable views, insightful discussions, and really good wine tasting!!!

Our guide and chauffeur Massimo did at tremendous job telling us about Catanias history and how it is living next to Etna. The driving was excellent. Massimo was very flexible and the tour was adjusted to our needs and our speed We finished off at Gambione vineyard where we tasted four different vines together with Sicilian cheese sausages bread oil and more. All together a fantastic day. Henrik and Helle

Excellent full day tour with our private driver. We visited the Catania coastline, toured Mt Etna, and then onto the Gambini Winery where we enjoyed some fantastic foods and wine. We especially liked the wines made from grapes grown on the volcanic soil.

The trip was great from start to finish largely because Alessandro did an amazing job showing us a good time. Went out of his way to show us a couple sites and views on the way to Etna, and when we got there he gave us as long as we needed to walk around the craters. The winery was also fantastic and again, he gave us the time to enjoy the day.

Absolutely great day trip visiting Etna and Gambino Winery. Our tour guide and driver Alessandro was wonderful; very knowledgable of the area and volcano and very friendly. We tried the local fruit and chestnuts on route and shared a lot of laughs. We were collected straight from our apartment door and returned to the same point at the end. Would definitely recommend and many thanks to Alessandro for a great day. Sarah & Colin

We took a lot of day tours when we were in Sicily and this was one of the best! Alessandro was a great guide - very knowledgeable about the area and fun to be with. He never rushed us and we stopped at some great places, including Mt Etna and the Gambino Winery for lunch. We could walk around Mt Etna at our own rate as we did not want to take one of the many trekking tours offered. This was at a more leisurely pace. We tasted local products such as honey, sweets and wine. This private tour was exactly what we were looking and so glad we found it! Thank you Alessandro for a great day and all the information you gave us. Would definitely recommend!

Good-humoured and informative guide (Alessandro) made this an exciting day. The Etna itself is impressive, but facts about the various eruptions spices the experience. The winery tour was nice. The wine tasting was somewhat machine-like and a one-way conversation, but the wines are OK. No obligation to buy products that were "displayed".

Alessandro was a little hard to understand but he was wonderful. Highlight of the day was the Gambino winery.

We decided to book with alessandro after reading his previous reviews, and we’re so glad we did! The day was perfect, prompt pick up and planned stops throughout the day. He gave us options to stay longer at Etna if we wanted and took us to see recent lava flow which was not planned. His English is superb, we were asking loads of questions and he knew all the answers! Aside from being a great tour guide he’s a lovely man with a fun personality, you will enjoy your day with him whilst you explore. The gambino tour was also excellent.

We wanted a tour visting several wineries around Etna and taste some of the local produce and Alessandro made a perfect plan. We visited 3 wineries, all very different which made the comparing even more fun. Our favourit was Murgo. Alessandro was flexible and always trying to give us the little extra.

Overall, we had a nice day but the tour was not as advertised and with a few bumps. Alessandro, our guide, was knowledgeable and friendly, but upon picking us up, announced that he was changing the tour without giving us a choice in the matter. He ended up taking us on a 2 hour diversion to a seaside town where we could view early lava rock formations. While that was nice, the 5 minute stop was not worth the two hours extra time in the car. We would have much rather spent more time taking in Etna. When we arrived at the Silvestri craters, we felt a bit rushed and Alessandro seemed vaguely annoyed that we wanted to spend time walking around (he even commented that “maybe we should have booked a trekking tour”). It felt like we were checking a box rather than truly experiencing the beauty and energy of this majestic volcano. We did not visit the Valle de Bove at all or do the honey tasting as the tour advertised, and our time at the winery was also abbreviated as a result of the amended itinerary. The Gambino winery was excellent and beautiful views, but we were presented with a bill for 70 euros at the conclusion—which should have been included in the price of the tour. Alessandro did settle with the winery on our behalf but seemed to hedge a bit. For what I assume is a regular tour, I would have expected smoother handling there. Then when my husband went to purchase some wine to take with us, the winery again tried to charge us 70 euros for the tasting. It was a good day overall but way too much unnecessary time in the car winding through towns instead of spending the day at Etna. Be clear about your expectations when selecting this tour.

We were a group of 8 adults and one child and we booked the experience with Alessandro. We had a great day exploring every part of Etna and a very enjoyable lunch in the winery. Alessandro was very helpful and informative and he did our journey very impressive. I would recommend Alessandro to everyone that want to have a fantastic adventure.

This private tour was a full day learning and viewing all about Etna’s interesting history and present day activity. Our guide, Alessandro, picked us up and dropped us off to our location in Catania. He went out of his way to meet our needs. He was very informative about anything we asked. He showed us very interesting points and was able to communicate well with us in English. The wine tasting/lunch at the Gambino winery was delicious and beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour in the area. We highly recommend. Thanks again Alessandro for al your help!!

I firstly had this experience with a group of friends, and we wanted to enjoy a fantastic adventure around Mount Etna including a great quality wine testing too...well guys, we DID It!!! Alessandro toured us and introduced us to a fantastic cellar " gambino wines" and we had a such great time. Alessandro does know lots of infos, stories, and legends about sicily and of course he is a great driver! well done!!!

Alessandro, our driver, gave us an unforgettable day. Amidst the history, culture, and flavors of Sicily, we traversed unique landscapes. We recommend it!

Thank you so much to Elena for a great tour of Etna. We discussed the route beforehand and chose the best one. Elena answered all the questions we have and talked with great interest, immediately feels experience) A great day we'll remember for life! I recommend it!

In 2019, I fell in love with Sicily. At the end of a wonderful stay near Syracuse, I was treated to a tasting on my birthday on the vineyard of Gambino, on the flanks of Mount Etna. We were warmly and hospitably welcomed with wine and snacks and were allowed to enjoy all the delicacies they made themselves there. Especially the wines, the Tifeo, both the white and the red, are among the best things Sicily has to offer. Every year I therefore like to order a box of wines from hostess Andrea, which are sent without problems and for a reasonable price. As soon as we open a bottle we imagine ourselves on the slopes of Mount Etna again and I long for the beautiful Sicily! Grazia Gambino!!

Un très beau circuit avec un guide très sympathique. La dégustation de vin avec le repas était superbe. Je recommande sans hésiter
