Customer Reviews
Roberto C. was a fantastic guide for our day up to Mt. Etna. He was very knowledgeable about the area, fauna, geology, plants and history. He interacted with all 5 of us in the van and curious about us and our homelands. He was entertaining and fun to be with for the day. I would highly recommend Etna People and Roberto to everyone.
Had a winery tour with Roberto C. He was fantastic, he had a wealth of knowledge about Sicily, Italy and Mt. Etna. He talked about how the History that shaped the region, and talked about the importance of the volcano to the people of Sicily. The winery’s were very different from each other in the best way, the first, Tornatore. Our host talked about the sections of land elevations and the soil in each elevation, and why each step in the process is important for the final product. The second, Emilo Sciacca Etna wine, had an excellent meal paired with the tasting, and the host explained what fermentation process was to each of the varietals and how it changed the chemistry of each of the wines. Over all it was a great time with wine!
We had the best time with Roberto C showing us around. It was a beautiful tour that myself, my son and husband thoroughly enjoyed. What beautiful towns to visit and plenty of information about where some of the Godfather scenes were set. Roberto C was very informative and friendly
