Enjoyable trip and helpful guide (Vito) - When we were walking through the Sartorius Craters, there was still snow nearby (so maybe a bit tough due to timing) and the guide Vito was helping some of the participants. He was knowledge and explained a lot about the formation and information of that area. The view was stunning too. Glad that I have joined this tour. At first I was thinking only of the summit but this tour brought me a lot of insight about volcanos.

Highly recommend it! - The trip to Etna was memorable. In April we went on the snow. Our guide Piero gave us a lot of pertinent information about the volcano and its history. We were also impressed by the gorges. We really enjoyed the guide and the trip. We highly recommend it!

It's not a mountain, it's a volcano - Vito, our guide was fantastic. Laid back atmosphere, very knowledgeable on the subject and history of the volcano.

Fabulous experience - The guide ( Pietro ) was perfect: Caring, passionate and really interesting he had full information full of details and anecdotes....I usually ask lots of questions I didn't have to do because it was complete. His driving in the winding roads of Mount Etna was safe and pleasant me who was sick of motion I did not feel uncomfortable. The group of 8 people was perfect for everything to be done without delay. The place chosen for the meal and stops was good also we have a variety of choices to drink and eat. Little tip take the boots and walking stick provided because in the caves it is muddy and in the snow and during the ascent the stick helps bcp. 100% satisfied we were 2 adults 53 and 60 years old +/- fit and it fit perfectly

Wonderful views - Vito was a wonderful guide making sure everyone enjoyed the trip. It was a small group of different nationalities and ages and we all gelled well. Vito explained how Mount Etna erupts and how the geological formations occurred. He was a calm and friendly guide who clearly loves what he does. We saw something amazing yesterday thank you!
