Etna Group Tour - Enthusiastic and well informed guide shared everything we wanted to know about Etna and Sicily. Some walking and exploring involved but not strenuous.

Exceptional! - With Giovanni, a young experienced guide, cultured, smiling and patient. He has a perfect grasp of his subject and it is a real plus! Mi trekking day on Mount Etna, magical place and much more than a volcano for Sicilians, yes Giovanni we understood and felt it with you! Impeccable organization: timing, points of interest, rest time, brunch (even for me gluten-free)... We were 8 in all including 5 who neither knew nor spoke the same language and yet, what an unforgettable moment of sharing!! Discovery in addition to Catania, an unknown city that really deserves to be visited. Beautiful. Count with the cable car extra (70€ anyway 😬) but you will not regret it. This day will remain for me the highlight of my trip to this surprising and disconcerting Sicily.

Etna Trip - Highly recommend this trip. Picked up at 8.30 prompt and headed to base camp where we were able to get warm coats and shoes. Cable car was amazing, then in a truck where we drove further up the mountain to start the lava trek. Very very windy but not as cold as I expected. It was quite tiring but well worth the effort as the views and sheer scale of the landscape was spectacular. Then headed back down and went for a lovely picnic before going into a small larva cave and then getting dropped back off at the hotel. Tour guide was brilliant

- Wonderful time with Giovanni, an extraordinary guide who taught us a lot. We took part in the excursion with our children aged 6 and 14, we all had a fabulous day! The views of the craters are breathtaking..., The icing on the cake: excellent lunch of Sicilian street food, with a small local wine...! We recommend Etna Experience, communication is easy and efficient, all the staff is very professional. Do not hesitate, they offer excursions for all levels.

Excellent tour and guide - We had a great day of hiking and learning with Marco on the Easy Top Etna tour. He was prompt, fluent in English, friendly, very knowledgeable about the volcano, botony, & history of the region. I felt that he had a good sense of the individuals in our group and made sure everyone was sarisfied. The lunch provided was delicious! Everything was coordinated smoothly and we got to experience the beauty and majesty of Mamma Etna with a local. Highly recommend!

Professional excursion - An excursion that exceeded my expectations. Our guide Mirko was knowledgeable and social, and was happy to tell you about Catania too. We were picked up at our hotel on time and in a good minibus. Then we went and borrowed shoes and jackets if needed. Seadan a ride to 3000 m by cable car and 4x4 bus and finally on foot. Then several smaller guided tours and a three-course lunch with wine. A very professional concept, with an equally professional customer service that responds directly to emails. The Etna Experience has a higher price than many other tours but then everything is included: - Cable car and 4x4 and guiding on top. - Shoes and jacket if needed - Catania pickup. - A good lunch I highly recommend Etna Experience and Easy Summiot Tour

Great experience from booking to hiking - If you are planning to visit Etna, I highly recommend you book a tour with Etna Experience. Our experience with them was fantastic, from the efficient and courteous team in reservations to our knowledgeable guide Marco who spoke perfect English. We did the full day "easy" tour, took the 4x4 bus, the cable car, had lunch and then visited the Silvestri craters and a cave. Marco shared so much incredible information with us about Etna, volcanos, and indigenous plants - in perfect English - and you could feel how much he really cares about his customers and this precious part of Sicily.

Thanks to our guide who did the best with poor and capricious weather. - Lunch and makes it a Picnic, so in case of bad weather, as for us it is far from ideal.
