Fantastic tour of Etna followed by an excellent tasting. - Great tour guide - very friendly and very informative. We went around one of the craters, took a walk in a lave tube and saw the Vale dei Bove which was covered in lava from one of the longest eruptions. Back at base we had a tasting of lots of local delicacies and opted for an equally tasty lunch. Overall extremely informative and tasty! Highly recommended.

A beautiful experience - A fine tour, professionally guided by local and highly motivated guide. Beautiful views. However, the tour operator's car had arrived at the end of its life, and a bit cramped for 6 adults.

Great guides, poor spots. - Nice guides, but poor spots. I was expexting a 4x4 weel tour, to show spots off the beaten trak. Fantastic guide, but low quaility sites and sopts for an Etna tour. Going on tarmac and common sites i car do my self. Rating therefore only high because of the guides.

You are better off renting your own vehicle and drive up Mt. Etna yourself. - The company refused to pick us up at our hotel even though the company’s website said that they pick up in Catania. Just another of many scams you can find yourself in during your visit to Italy!
