Excellent Etna trip! - We went with the guide who picked us up from Catania and we drove to Etna with a little stop just before where a toilet and coffee is available. Hiking gear was provided (just pack long trousers and socks!) We trekked Etna with a very knowledgeable guide (Alessandro) and heard lots of interesting things and were blessed with good weather. Beautiful views were visible, pretty plants, super cool volcanic sand and rocks and best of all - we saw several craters!

So much fun! - We had an excellent time traversing on foot across the fascinating Etna range. This tour is for those who want to avoid the crowds and are eager to experience first a proper physical activity and second amazing views that are only accessible on foot. the tour was very well organised. We were glad that our guides offered us appropriate boots, poles and jackets. As instructed, it is very important to wear a high socks. Our guide was super knowledgeable and with a great sense of humour. The descent was the best fun ever!

Great experience, Nice your Guy with love for mount etna! - It was a very cool and great experience! Our guide was a very chill and nice guy that knew a lot about the plants and vegetation on mount etna. We could borrow shoes and a windbreaker. One tip! You need to have a bit of sport experience/condition to follow his pace but the tempo was perfect for us. Enjoyed every minute! Thanks a lot! 😊

Stupendous views - Juliana was an excellent guide and Mt Etna has been erupting/smoking for the last few days. Excellent views. You need to be quite fit for this hike. Elevation changes and unstable path on lava ash/sand

A Sicily/Catania must!! - Mt Etna is a must see/do. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and was very safety conscious. I liked this tour (vs the other options) as it allowed us to really experience this active volcano as we hiked up to nearly 2600KM. I highly recommend.

Experienced, flexible tour group -- loved our hike on Mt. Etna - My friends and I had an incredible tour of Mt. Etna with Etna Guided Tours. One of our group had a surgery three months ago and the guides were responsive and flexible in accommodating a less strenuous hike for two of us. We really appreciated that the tour group offered hiking boots and windbreakers to borrow as we hadn't packed them and ended up needing both. Ernesto was great in communicating with us ahead of time and ensuring that we had booked the ideal tour option. We couldn't recommend the company more!

Amazing! - We decided last minute that we would like to take part in this tour, and I am so glad that we did! We met early in the morning in Catania, stopped for coffee and breakfast and then embarked on our journey to conquer Mt. Etna. I was really impressed by our guide, Alessio, his knowledge and his hiking skills and I felt safe all the time during the trip. All in all this was a very fun and unique adventure. It might be considered hard for people who are not usually active, but as someone who exercises quite often, I would say it was medium effort.

Fun day hike! - The views were amazing and our guide kept a good slow pace. We were provided with all the necessary gear (hiking shoes, backpacks, windbreakers and trekking poles). We also stopped to buy snacks/water/lunch before starting the hike, but you can also pack your own if you’re more organized! The hike was quite independent, with the guide walking either ahead or behind the group. You’re able to stop when you’d like to take photos/breaks. Expect to get very dirty!!
