    Terrible!!!!

    Complete disaster!!! We booked a private tour and paid for it upfront. Then driver came late and my husband asked him to wait 5 min so he can put our luggage at front desk. When we came out he was gone. We made 500 calls to the company contact number shown here but nothing!!! No one was answering, no one explaining anything!! The worst experience ever!

    Response from the operator: We offer private luxury experiences. In order to operate at our best we provide detailed information on the tour ahead: we sent an email and you never replied. Moreover, if we communicate a pick-up time that means that you can’t show up whenever you decide: the driver was at the reception waiting for you at 9.10 am already (stating that he came late is a complete falsity). At 10 am with none of you showing up yet he was allowed to leave. We have time tolerance, but beyond that it’s a no-show.

    Loved it!

    One of the best tours in my life and I have travelled all around the world. Organisation is the first thing in all activities and they have a perfect one. All the little things and details show how much they care for what they organise. Absolutely stunning all the possibile customisations they let to do with no extra fees or worries. The tour itself is unique and exclusive because it combines traditional visits of small towns and tourist spots with the winery theme. Loved it!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much!

    Amazing

    Great tour, I think they’re the only offering this special package, combing wine tasting, visit to cellars and also excursions. Recommended.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much! Yes, we're the only ones offering this tour. Glad you enjoyed it!

    Etna Wine & Food Volcanic Week Grand Tour (Private): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Catania.

    How much does Etna Wine & Food Volcanic Week Grand Tour (Private) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $4,900 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Catania usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Etna Wine & Food Volcanic Week Grand Tour (Private) take?

    +

    Plan for about 168 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Catania is not rushed.

    Is Etna Wine & Food Volcanic Week Grand Tour (Private) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Catania, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Etna Wine & Food Volcanic Week Grand Tour (Private)?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Etna Wine & Food Volcanic Week Grand Tour (Private) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Etna Wine & Food Volcanic Week Grand Tour (Private)?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Catania can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Catania and add a light layer if any part of the 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Etna Wine & Food Volcanic Week Grand Tour (Private) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Catania within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Catania?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Catania experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Catania Sicilian Street Food Tour: Small Group by Do Eat Better, Etna Tour - HalfDay Small Group & licensed Tour Guide, Tour Etna and Wine Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Catania?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Catania?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Etna Wine & Food Volcanic Week Grand Tour (Private)?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Lunch; Dinner; Breakfast; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratuities; and Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Etna Wine & Food Volcanic Week Grand Tour (Private) include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 5 listed pickup locations in and around Catania. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Etna Wine & Food Volcanic Week Grand Tour (Private) offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English, Italian and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Etna Wine & Food Volcanic Week Grand Tour (Private)?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Etna Wine & Food Volcanic Week Grand Tour (Private) wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Etna Wine & Food Volcanic Week Grand Tour (Private) if the weather is bad?
