Summary:
From the minute we were collected from our location it was clear our local guide was passionate and extremely knowledgeable about Mount Etna and its history as well as explaining the position around its existence and surrounding impact on the local community. Second part of the day was an informative and relaxing insight into the workings of a modern winery. Gambino did not disappoint with selections of great wines and food. Honestly if you visit Sicily and you have the opportunity to engage in this two part tour then I would recommend MrExcurions as your tour operator. First class day.
