Messina to Mount Etna with lunch at a winery

We had a wonderful private tour from Messina port to the top of Mount Etna with a private guide. Our first stop was to taste, honey and olive oil. Add a small village. This was a wonderful experience and we really enjoyed it. After visiting Mount Etna we had lunch at a small winery owned by two brothers along with wine tasting. It was a beautiful setting overlooking a small village. The food was amazing as well as the wine. Our guide was very conscious of getting us back to the ship in time. We...read more

Fantastic personal tour of Etna

Prestelli Tours was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. The office staff answered emailed questions very promptly during the planning phase, which made it so easy. What’s more, they didn’t even request a deposit. Payment is requested in cash at the time of the tour. And then the tour: our guide Alberto picked us up right at our hotel in Taormina and he was wonderful. He is studying for his advanced degree in vulcanology at the local university, and has lived his whole life with Etna...read more

Best way to see Mt. Etna, experience a local winery, and enjoy an amazing Sicilian lunch!

Amazing day!! Samuela started our day with excellent communication on meeting location. We quickly hopped in her very clean lovely private car and away we went! We stopped in the lovely village of Linguaglossa and enjoyed a coffee. Then we visited a quaint shop that had local honey, liquors, and gifts. After trying many types of honey and delicious liquors(and buying several which did make it home!) we headed for the volcano. What an amazing sight to see. It was a beautiful day, clear sky and w...read more
