Top attractions in Catania

We booked the sunset tour in the morning of the same day and enjoyed the perfect organization! We got a call where we were told when they are gonna pick us up and if we need trekking shoes. Our guide Daniele was more than punctual and very nice. We were the first ones who got picked up (in front of our hotel). We were 6 tourists in total and another guide, Roberta, who translated in french for 2 passengers. She was also very nice and helpful. The drive to Etnea was long, but absolutely worth it! At the first stop Daniele told us something about the formation of the volcano and we had a nice view. The second stop was a volcano cave. Together with Daniele's information it was very interesting. The next stop was the longest, where we had to walk a little bit over volcanic rocks - which was great (especially the craters). Then we had to hurry to catch the sunset, which we enjoyed a few minutes drive away. We would highly recommend the tour although there was not much time for taking pics.

The trip was interesting, fun, and it allowed us to discover Etna’s mesmerising landscapes, as well as the delicious local culinary products. The tour’s logistics were well set in place. The car arrived at the hotel at the appointed time. Our guide, Salvo, was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and charismatic, answering all our questions and paying special attention to all the tour participants’ needs. We were also lucky enough to have clear skies, so we were able to watch the sunset from the top of one of the Silvestri craters, surrounded by very few other tourists. The colours were breathtaking and made the trip all worth it. It’s an experience that I would recommend to anyone coming to Sicily.

Had the absolute pleasure of meeting Marco who was our guide. Right of the bat I can tell you Marco’s a very kind man and we had no issue immediately getting along with him, his enthusiasm for the island is genuine and it shows. Hearing about the Etna and her surroundings was delightful, we even got some personalized tips of places to explore based on what we enjoyed seeing. Other than that the horses we’re very nice! I had a friend with me who’d never sat on a horse in their life and they had a wonderful time. (A.k.a. very beginner friendly) The lunch was traditional and homegrown with a wide array of well-matched flavors. I could definitely recommend this trip.

A guide and tour that exceeded our expectations by far. A memorable day was spent in Sicily thanks to Alessio Patanè who does not only converse well in English, but also is a master in subject knowledge. From the pickup to the drop off at our hotel was a 11/10 experience. For 'Godfather' lovers this is a must tour. For everyone else this is a golden opportunity to become acquainted with The Godfather in a very special manner. I would like to commend Alessio on being accommodating to everyones needs, on his sound advice regarding all aspects of the day and his exceptional gift to make his guests feel at ease.

Excellent walk for the novice trekkers. Exactly as described, nice easy peaceful walk lasting approximately 3hrs. All with the expert guidance of English speaking guide Giuseppe. Who was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna. The history of Etna and the more recent happenings of Etna. It was our last day of the holiday and we are taking home some stunning memories and pictures. Many thanks guys.
