About this experience
Discover the beauty of Mount Etna on a private tour with pickup from your accommodation aboard a luxury Mercedes V-Class minivan and English-speaking driver.
Reach Rifugio Sapienza at 2,000 meters, where you’ll explore the Silvestri Craters with a light, scenic walk. For those who want to go higher, the cable car up to 2,900m is optional (extra €80 pp) and offers breathtaking views—but no pressure, the experience is incredible either way.
Then stop at Oro d’Etna to taste local honey and see the dramatic 1992 lava flow.
The tour continues at a local winery, where you’ll enjoy a wine tasting and light lunch overlooking the volcano.
Throughout the day, —your driver and proud Sicilian—will share stories, culture, and his deep love for the land. Unlike crowded group tours, this private journey is all about you: your time, your rhythm, your Sicily. Expect comfort, connection, and unforgettable soul.
