Very knowledgeable and... - Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. We stayed for lunch afterwards which was delicious- especially recommend. The local ingredients in the tasting were super fresh and delicious. On the tour, you go down a lava tunnel which is slippery underfoot and probably not for the claustrophobic!

Etna in 4x4 with children - Fantastic 4x4 tour of 5h. Luca, an expert, interesting and engaging guide led us to discover this wonder. We took the tour with a 17-month-old girl and a 7-year-old girl and Luca immediately put us at ease, allowing us to live this experience in a safe and engaging way. Super recommended

A beautiful eventful lunch. - We had done the 4x4Tour with the whole family( 2 adults and 2 children 5 and 7). The tour with our guide Luca was really lovely. He has always been really nice to the children despite language barrier he always had a little something for them such as a children's flashlight, so it was also designed interesting for them. Luca could also explain something about everything and had explained the story of the creation of Mama Etna in a super understandable way. It was really a nice lunch, thank you again Luca.
