4 tours · €69–€2495 per person · ★ 4.8
Find a Catania small group tour among 4 tours picked by hand: we read every listing and kept only those rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €69 per person for a pasta and tiramisu class to €2495 for a Sicily trip with hotel stays. A small group Etna tour takes you from the volcano to the Alcantara Gorges, with transport and gorge entry included so you can visit both without arranging the journey yourself.
A quick way to choose: lunch is included in one Etna excursion but excluded from the trekking and lava cave trip. The excursion with lunch does not fit cruise ship schedules. On the Sicily trip, the optional higher ascent on Etna costs extra, so allow for that beyond the headline price. The best reviewed small group tours in Catania come first below.
