Incredible tour of Mt. Etna. - We loved our tour with Lucca! The Silvestri crater was incredible, but the best part was the tour of the lava tube. Lucca found one that was long but also not very crowded so he was able to give us an in-depth explanation. Definitely have lunch at the end of the tour. The honey served with the antipasti is mind-blowing. This one of the highlights of our trip to Sicily.

Wonderful and untiring - Beautiful experience the Tour 4x4, suitable for families because it is not physically demanding. The guide, Marcello, was a pleasant company that enriched our experience with interesting information while also attracting the attention of our children. Also equipped with a good dose of patience, which never hurts in the face of curious questions of the little ones but not only! Unexpectedly at the end of March we found the side craters still covered in snow. Hiking shoes were really essential for good grip on the ground. The off-road experience in a jeep was fun and eventful: for those who suffer from car sickness, I recommend taking an anti-nausea test in advance (with me it worked perfectly and I was able to fully enjoy the experience). Also fascinating is the visit to the lava cave and the panoramam over the Valle del Bove. Without a guide to explain and describe the history and life of these places, it would not have been as engaging. Highly recommended! I almost forgot: the final tasting is the end of the world! Usually we try not to spend more than we should, but what we tasted and drank was really a pleasure and we left there only after buying products to eat in these days of stay in Sicily and we will definitely order even more from the site once back home

The highlight of our Sicilian tour! - With our guide Ciccio we had drawn the big lot! You rarely find so much expertise, enthusiasm, warmth and humor. We learned an incredible amount about Mamma Etna. We would never have believed the importance of the volcanic system for the native population. The tour was very versatile, with crater hike (in the snow!), lava tube sightseeing, off-road adventure and subsequent tasting. We can only recommend the tour. Grazie mille, caro Ciccio!

Beautiful tour in inclement weather - Since the presentation we immediately noticed the enthusiasm that Piera (the guide who accompanied us) puts in her work and even with an inclement weather that reduced the beauty of the tour, Piera tried in every way to make us taste the beauty of Etna. It was still a very nice and interesting tour.
