We went on the tour as the only two English people in a group of German people. Enzo (the guide) made sure to translate all his incredible local knowledge into both English and German for the group. Enzo was so welcoming and friendly and knew a crazy amount of local knowledge, he was passionate and always had a fact about anything we saw or did on the tour. He even threw in a quick detour to the Cyclops stones and a brief explanation of their significance. You can choose to do Etna on this tour to 2000km or take a cable car and tour up to 3000km (this was an extra €78 per person as it's not covered by this excursion). We chose to stay at 2000km and it was fantastic! We did 2 crators, one solo and one with Enzo, listening to his local facts and interesting tid bits. We then headed for the enoteca and this was possibly the highlight for us. The wine and the food was incredible. There was SO MUCH FOOD, all of it local and delicious and the lady who served us was so lovely and explained all the food and wines- the people at this enoteca clearly have a passion for their work! You then head to try some liquors which are all lovely- definitely try the Etna Fire! You can then purchase the wines, condiments and liquors at the end. We also did a cave tour which was really cool (it's an old lava tube from Etna) and Enzo regaled us with facts the whole way there and back to our accomodation. 12/10 recommend and great value for money
