Exceptional Etna Tour - This was a brilliant tour. Ali was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Etna and the local area and answered any questions we had with enthusiasm. One recommendation- take an extra layer of clothing. It was chilly up there!

We were in a small group... - We were in a small group which was very good. Our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and helpful. As a small group we were able to go in a lava cave which would not have been possible in a coach party.

Must do activity in Sicily! - We had the best time with Constanza she did an amazing job and was so hilarious! She spoke 3 separate languages to accommodate everyone on the tour! We learned so much and felt super safe even visiting right after an eruption! My fav part was the local tastings of wine olives pestos and olives! So yummy I could have eaten the whole table. Amazing experience overall and so much fun! Definitely don’t forgot good hiking shoes and a windbreaker, it’s windy up there and the all the littles rocks and ash can be very slippery with the wrong shoes!

Take a Hike - This was a great way to discover & explore Mt. Etna if you are staying in Catania. Our guide Emila drove our small group ( 7 people ) to the Volcano along with leading & informing us of it’s vast history

Thanks Simone - Simone was a super friendly guide. We really appreciated the views of Etna and listening to the back stories! We could ask any questions that came to mind and received elaborate answers. Even though there was a lot of mist, we still enjoyed the views.

Etna - *🌋 Amazing Experience on Mount Etna!* Our tour to Mount Etna was absolutely unforgettable! The landscapes were breathtaking — from black lava fields to panoramic views stretching all the way to the sea. The highlight of the day, however, was our incredible guide. They were not only knowledgeable and passionate about the volcano, but also incredibly friendly, funny, and attentive to everyone in the group. We learned so much about Etna’s geology, history, and even its mythology. The pace of the hike was well-balanced, and the entire experience felt safe, well-organized, and genuinely exciting. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sicily — it’s a must-see, and having such a great guide made it even more special. Thank you for an amazing adventure!

Great short excursion - Great little trip for those who are only away for a few days. You get to walk up Mount Etna, visit a lava cave and then a shop selling wine, honey and other local produce.......which is great if you have hold luggage, not so great if you only have hand luggage, due to the liquids limit. Our guide was very polite, enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
