★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 502 reviews · from $45

“Ended up getting a private tour (since it’s the past the holidays and low season). Our guide, Andrea, was phenomenal… so knowledgeable about Etna, Catania, Sicily (in general), and volcanos! He answered all of our various questions and spoke English really well. We decided to do the cable car option ($30 each) and then trek ourselves to the crater created during the 2001 eruption (instead of the Jeeps which would have been another $38 each)… very happy with that decision since clouds rolled in blocking the Jeep’s panorama viewpoint. I am young but not the most fit, however, Andrea’s pace allowed me to ascend slowly without feeling rushed. It wasn’t…”

Guides such as Cao and Aaron explain local plants, island history, and traditional uses before a tasting of Canarian food. Expect steep sections, mountain views, and possible drizzle.

“Aaron was our guide and he was terrific. He has great knowledge of the area and showed us things we wouldn’t have known about. He quickly changed between Spanish and English since we had a mixed group. He also pointed out lots of plants in the wild that are daily used in cooking. We had a great tasting over lunch in a local restaurant as well. We would recommend Aaron and the Anaga hike! The return is uphill but Aaron set a relaxed pace that allowed our group to complete the hike with ease.”

5.From Syracuse: Mount Etna Guided Morning Hike & Food Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 173 reviews · 8 - 9 hours · from $105

Travel from Syracuse to Mount Etna in a small group of up to eight. Hike around the Silvestri Craters at 2,000 meters, enter a lava cave with helmets and lights, then taste Sicilian food, wine, oils, cheeses, and liqueurs at a traditional farm. Guides such as Federico, Lorenzo, and Simone bring Etna to life.

“Federico was an excellent guide, his driving has to be complemented on as, despite the appalling condition of some of the roads, the journey felt safe and secure. On Etna he was able to explain and describe the formation and changes over time. We were never rushed and always felt that we were in safe hands. Returning to Siracusa via a stop to sample local produce meant that we got back to our pickup point relaxed. Highly recommended.”

8.Hike Matanuska Glacier w/Alaska Local Honey, Wine Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 89 reviews · 8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $310

Travel from Anchorage to Matanuska Glacier for a guided walk among blue ice, crevasses, and towering walls. Crampons, snacks, water, and snow pants are supplied. Expect an active day, uneven ground, and roughly two hours each way in the van, followed by a short Palmer stop and local honey and wine visit.

“Great tour of the enormous glacier, we learned a lot of interesting facts from Frank our glacier tour guide. Frank was patient with our group as some people had an easier time with the terrain than others. Things to note, it is cold there even in July, wear layers including a winter jacket, wear hiking shoes or boots even though they give you crampons, and know that the terrain isn’t even. All that being said, we loved the hike and would do it again. BTW, my husband and I are both over 60 yrs old. The honey and “wine” tasting were definitely not the highlight of the trip.”
