An unforgettable approach to Etna with Gaetano - The tour was very good to make a first approach to Etna. The guide, Gaetano, a great professional. It was great fun and offered us a different and unforgettable experience. To repeat, with explosions and lava.

Thrilling Etna eruption experience. Once in a lifetime! - We were there for the Etna major eruption June 2. It was amazing! Our guide Rui did a wonderful job and was very informative and helpful. We got to go to a fairly high elevation via a large jeep. There was already a routine eruption happening that morning, but in the middle of our excursion, Etna decided to surprise us with a much larger eruption. Our guide was helpful in getting us to safety and we also managed to take the tour of the Etna tastings, but had to skip the lava tubes for safety reasons which was understandable. Overall, a thrilling and once in a lifetime experience!

Highly recommended excursion - Very good excursion and excellent guide. We went in a six-person vehicle and took turns because the back seats were very uncomfortable and in bad shape. We hired the tour with lunch and ate very well. Highly recommended. I would only ask the company to use a more comfortable vehicle or, at the very least, to repair the last seats.

100/100 - My boyfriend and I participated in this magnificent adventure, full of emotions, history, nature and adrenaline.
The experience is wonderful but the
Team that we had been assigned even more. A group of very prepared guys, ready to answer any curiosity and question. They are INCREDIBLE, able to transmit to you so much of this wonderful land.
The experience lasted about 6 hours, they accompany you to discover wonderful places, with a wine tasting,
Oils, olives and honey to make your taste buds explode. The day is divided into several stages but the most beautiful is when you reach 2000 meters, from there you can enjoy a show and a breathtaking view. So we literally fell in love with it.
I want to sincerely THANK the team,
Composed by Alessio, Fabio , Raji!!!! You guys were great, you made us feel at home❤️.
It is difficult to find
Guides like you!!!!!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
