- Mount Etna - Along the trail that will take us up to 2000mt a.s.l., our guide will tell you about how the highest volcano in Europe was born, without leaving the aspects related to flora and fauna that characterize it. After admiring old and new lava flows we will proceed on foot to the inner part of old craters. The charming panorama and the picturesque scenery will give us the feeling of being on the moon.
After a short break, the hike will continue with a visit, carrying helmet and torch, inside a lava cave to admire a unique spectacle.
Walking through a luxuriant vegetation, we will finally admire the spectacular Valle del Bove.

Great MT Etna Tour ! - Daphne was a great tour guide, she was knowledgeable, kind and patient. We got to see Mt Etna, a cool cave , and even showed us chestnut trees. She had a nice treat at the end of the tour. Daphne went above and beyond for us when my husband realized he had left his phone in the bus, she met up with us to bring it back. Thank you so much Daphne !!

Great Etna experience - Our guide Daphne was extremely helpful. We are a family of 4 and this was exactly the right trip - not too taxing but a good length of time, lots of great info and you are in the midst of Etna.

The experience of... - The experience of visiting the active volcano was wonderful. The guide was spectacular, a professional volcanologist who perfectly explained the history of Etna and its eruptions. We were able to see the craters, the caverns they form, and the path of the magma. 100% recommended.

Good visit to Etna - Wear good shoes . Not be scared of dark confined spaces as you visit a cave .
Good views from top , Guide very informative , not keen on having guide talking via radio in second vehicle . Happy with the tour as our expectations so all good - comms very good and look like a very organised and reputable company 👍

Great experience, but the guide was not very engaging. - Overall a good experience. Our guide Leonardo didn't seem very motivated and was speaking in a thick italian accent, we only understood about half of what he was saying.

- My wife booked a tour of Mount Etna with this company. The experience itself was well-structured. The guide, Daphe, was very polite and well-prepared, and gave us a great experience. What we didn't like was the driver assigned to us. A graying guy named Pino or Tino, I don't remember. He was very rude and unhelpful. We asked him to slow down on the curves, and he told us to go to hell. (I should point out that I understand a little Italian, since my grandparents are from Palermo.) It's a shame.
