Overview

Experience the incredible magic and majesty of Mt. Etna on this full day experience, where we will meet you in the morning at 09;30 AM. Your professional, English speaking, knowledgeable guide, will help you navigate the precious roads up to the Silvester Craters, where you will have time to walk and explore this terrific volcanic landscape.

Should you wish, you can take the chair lift up further, where our car can't reach (supplemental cost to be paid on location).

You will have time for a fabulous coffee or snack in this magnificent location, before we head down the mountain to the northern side of the mountain which is dotted by fantastic towns like Lingualossa, Bronte and several others which you will admire en-route to the Cantina Patria, which is one of Sicily's most acclaimed and appreciated wineries, with spectacular views over the countryside.

Here, you will enjoy numerous wine tastings, fantastic Sicilian lunch and guided tour of this prestigious winery which for years provided the wine to the Vatican and several other important Italian and European establishments.

Following lunch, we take you back to the hotel where our services will conclude.

This company really knows their stuff and recommended our family to stay longer in each location. We didn't listen to them, but wished we had in every single place we went. They recommended Sestri Levante over the Cinque Terre which was our favourite destination on our entire trip. We visited Rome where we stayed in the outstanding Hotel Locorno where they know the owner there,… Read More

We spent three short weeks seeing Piedmont and experiencing wine paradise there, then heading to Nice in France with our private driver and flying to Rome where honestly 4 days is NOT enough. They keep saying to spend more time and we could not agree more! You n… Read More

As a travel agent, but also a traveler to Italy, thee is no other company I would recommend than the Italy Vacation Specialists.
