Unforgettable experience!
What a fabulous experience! We had the most wonderful day with Gianni & Luca. We also got very lucky with our group of fun & adventurous folk. The weather was terrible, wind, rain & cold but we still enjoyed every minute (well some were challenging). Our guides were patient, well informed and considerate of all of our differing levels of fitness and speed. The weather gods gave us moments of sunshine, rainbows and stunning views at times. It was just a feast for the eyes. The lunch and wine tasting was the icing on the cake. We had delicious food, amazing olive oil, fabulous wines all served by our attentive server Alessandro. The atmosphere was fun, relaxed and at a nice easy pace. Our drive back down to Taormina was hilarious with our wonderful guide ensuring we were back in one piece! It was truly an unforgettable experience that I would love to repeat in a heartbeat!

Amazing Etna tour, great guide and wine
This tour was amazing! Our guide Luca picked us up at our hotel even though it wasn't on the pick up list, which already set the tone for a great day. Luca was extremely knowledgeable, we learnt much more than we expected about the volcano, as well as about Sicily, the forest and vegetation we walked past, and really about everything. He was very informative as well as charismatic, like an earth science class but fun. The wine tasting was quite generous and we also got to eat a lot. The included meal consisted of bread with olive oil and herbs, plus vegetables and meat, though we got a vegetarian option. We were all full by the end, and I think we must have tried 5 wines. The walk at Etna was fairly easy and not very steep, plus we went at a relaxed pace. Sabrina was also super helpful and kind about the pick up details and general information. We would definitely book again with this company if we ever have the chance.

See the volcano, make new friends, and drink wine. A great day in Sicily.
Friendly and knowledgeable guides. Tour delivers on what is stated and more. The hiking was enjoyable and informative. We visited the Gambino winery and it was fantastic. Excellent wine paired with good food. We had a great time and highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your feedback. The MrExcursions team is happy to hear you had a fantastic trip with an excellent guide! Thank you, Vittorio.

Why this scores 91
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tour Etna and Wine Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Catania.
How much does Tour Etna and Wine Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $166 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 Tour Etna and Wine Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Tour Etna and Wine Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 443 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Catania, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tour Etna and Wine Tasting?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Tour Etna and Wine Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour Etna and Wine Tasting?
+
Around 155 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour Etna and Wine Tasting 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, Etna Morning tour with lunch included (departure from Catania). 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 Tour Etna and Wine Tasting?
+
Included: Lunch; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Personal Expenses - Souvenirs. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Tour Etna and Wine Tasting include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 169 listed pickup locations in and around Catania. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Tour Etna and Wine Tasting offered in?
+
It is offered in English, Italian and Spanish. 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 Tour Etna and Wine Tasting?
+

+
