We had an amazing tour to etna, which is currently erupting. We had the possibility to do a night tour, where we could watch the explosions from a safe distance. Eddy was an amazing tour guide, who provided helpful and interesting information. Also, he speaks many languages fluently and is very passionate about the vulcano and the whole area. All in all a once in a lifetime experience, I can highly recommend Legendary Sicily for a tour to etna.

Thank you so much Livia for your kind words. We appreciate that you enjoy this tour with us. Let me say we were very lucky in these last two weeks because the South-East Crater just stopped to blow up as previously. There is now a beautiful lava flow down the Bove Vallee which is of course interesting as well.  Greetings.  Eddy

On Tuesday August the 6th my partner & i thoroughly enjoyed our day with our guide Claudio. We were picked up at our hotel at the time stated & met with another vehicle before our drive to Etna. Claudio loves Etna & he tells you enthusiastically about Etna and the surrounding area. Once on Etna he'll tell you about the wildlife, plants etc living on Etna and also about the craters & lava flows etc from previous eruptions.
How high you're allowed up Etna depends on volcanic activity levels & Claudio always has your safety at heart.
We got to taste 5 different wines & sample some lovely food as part of a light lunch package.
This is a fantastic day out & some of the views you witness are simply breathtaking.
We certainly recommend Legendary Sicily & certainly the Etna & wine tour.
Enjoy :)

3rd time trying to get this to post:Natalie Milano worked her magical wine sommelier connections, and got me into not 1 but 2 different vineyard tastings on a private wine tour!! Natalie's knowledge of the local terroir, her fierce pride of up-and-coming Etna wines, and her ability to share and communicate her passion for all things oenological and otherwise was truly a joy to behold. She's such a beautiful woman, inside and out, and we enjoyed our one-on-one "girl talk" as she drove us through the amazing Etna area countryside. I really loved learning about the local Etna varietals.

With Natalie's training and certification and personal connections, I felt like I was hanging out with a celebrity, as she knew names whereever we went, and everyone was excited to see her and treated us like royalty. Wow, yesterday's tour was such an exceptionally special experience!!

We had a nice tour of the north side of Etna. The mountain was beautiful, our guide knowledgeable (though not a volcanologist - that is only if you take the high up tour), and the day enjoyable.

A few things that would have been nice to know:
- Our jeep had a driver, a guide, and 4 tourists. There were two other jeeps in our party. The back seat of the jeep was not really meant for adults (the floor was very high) so was a bit uncomfortable. The guide did our part of the narration in our jeep in person and narration for the other jeeps by radio so the other jeeps could not ask questions in real time.
- Our part of the tour was conducted in three languages, which was a surprise. The guide did a good job but sometimes (understandably) forgot to translate conversations into all three languages which made it less ideal.
- We had a long lunch in a local restaurant. The food was great, but we had not expected 90 minutes out of our tour being spent in this way. Our table mates were also a little impatient with this setup. If we had known it was the plan it might have been better.
- The all day tour is NOT of the Silvestri Craters, which are on the south side of the mountain. It includes some secondary craters on the north side and a lava tube (very short) and a walk around a part of the mountain that was fairly recently inundated with lava.
- It is rated "easy" but involves some amount of uphill climbing on loose rock and some serious stairs coming back up from the Alcantara Gorge.

Just returned from an 11 day trip around Sicily and one of the highlights was the ETNA & WINE TOUR WITH NATALIE.
We were picked up by Natalie in an SUV and the proceeded to Etna.
We hiked some of the lava flows,looked into craters, and much more while on Etna. This was followed by a throughly enjoyable visit to the Cavanera Etna estate. Natalie is a sommelier an as such selected the wine. In addition to tasting, we were served a platter of meats and cheeses, great, olive oil and cannoli!
I would highly recommend this tour with Natalie!

An informative and spectacular tour of Mount Etna which I really enjoyed. I feel like I know everything there is to know about larva, and indeed, everything about Mt Etna itself. Claudio was an awesome guide.

We took the Etna and Wine tour with Natalie. It was such a fantastic day with the best tour guide! Natalie picked us up from our hotel in Taormina and took us to Etna. On the way we passed through nice little towns on Etna. She told us so many interesting things only a local would know and gave us insight into Sicilian culture. On Etna we hiked for about 2 1/2 hours taking in spectacular views of etna and the craters. Afterwards we visited a nice winery (Firriati) and tasted different wines produced on Etna. They were accompanied by generous platters of tasty antipasti.
All in all this was a wonderful day that we will keep in our memory! We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sicily.

Natalie Milano picked us up direct from our villa.
Straight up to the less crowded north etna slope. This is about 1 hour the whole time we got great insight into the history of Sicily and the etna region. The different climatic regions of the volcano.
Why vines grow at one area. We then had a great walk up from the new station( old one is under the lava )
The walk was tailored to our fitness level so no stress, but lots of gravel in the shoes.
After a walk we were down to the winery Barone Di villagrande one of the 5 original wineries on etna. There are now 150.
Beautiful wine and food.
Best of all Natalie is a Sommelier as well as an expert on volcanoes.
We had a great day.
If you take one trip from around Etna or Taormina take it with Natalie.

Kudoes to Natalie for a wonderful Etna and Wine tour which happened to fall on my birthday. It's a credit to her talent as a guide that a group consisting of a middle-aged couple, a mom with school-age kids, and me as a 30-something guy were all able to have a fantastic experience that met all of our needs. The 2 hour hike on the north slope of Etna provided stunning views and Natalie was extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions about the volcano. Afterwards, she took us to a very bespoke and beautiful DOC winery for a truly enjoyable tour and tasting. Would highly recommend the Etna and Wine tour with Natalie!
