Great experience! - Wonderful day on Etna! Our guide Pierpaolo, in addition to being very prepared, was able to convey his passion for volcanology and the wonders of Etna between descriptions and stories during the trek. Also interesting is the visit to the volcanic cave. Efficient Online Booking and Impeccable Service. Highly recommended tour!

Unforgettable experience - My wife and I went hiking last June. One word: exceptional! The guide, Dario, very prepared. He has a great passion for this fantastic place and knows how to convey it in everything he explains and tells. Includes a visit to the volcanic caves. Descent on foot from the sands fun as well as suggestive. Convenient online booking of the tour. Highly recommended.

Perfect! - We did the High altitude trek on a beautiful clear day in early summer accompanied by Antonio. Beyond the beautiful landscape, we were struck by the passion for volcanology, the friendliness and professionalism of our guide, impeccable in answering our every question and telling Etna at 360 degrees. The hike is of medium difficulty, you climb in altitude by car and then cable car, then a trek of about 7 km as close as possible to the summit craters for the allowed standards and as dense as possible with small details to fully appreciate the nature of this wonderful place! ETNA EXCURSION TOP, rely on them, it's worth it:)

Morning on ETNA - We started from trecastagni with a fantastic Suzuki jimny jeep driven by our Mythical Guide Antonio. Nice guy, professional, passionate, experienced. Arrived at the Sapienza refuge we climbed to a certain altitude with Unimog vehicles, then from there we began the trek. Antonio very good took us slowly to the high altitude. Explaining all the evolutions and characteristics of Etna in a very understandable way. Highly recommended. I thank Antonio and his team.

Superb experience!! - Two days ago my husband and I took part in your trekking excursion to Etna and what can I say... we still talk about it and we continue to review photos and videos taken up there. It was truly a unique emotion, one of the most beautiful walks we have ever had (yes, in some places even a little adrenaline); we thank our very good guide Pierpaolo who in addition to providing us with excellent explanations, made us live this experience serenely. We recommend EtnaExcursion. Natasha and Vincenzo

Fantastic hike - Really nice and well organized hike. Pick up in the center of Catania (optional) arrival at the Sapienza refuge, stretched by cable car and then climbed to the craters at about 2,700 meters. Path averagely tiring and also suitable for non-experts. Particularly appreciated the guide Sebastiano, prepared and helpful, manages to transmit his passion for the volcano to us visitors. Unforgettable experience.

Good experience but be prepared! - Hike is very difficult at some points as high wind, narrow paths and lose gravel can be dangerous! Still, it’s well worth the effort!

Beautiful experience - Very interesting tour with trekking at high altitude. A huge thank you to Antonio, super nice and helpful, and all the staff. The excursion is well organized, not too complicated, and with a few euros more you can also visit a volcanic cave. Really recommended!
