Amazing experience! - An exciting experience, which I highly recommend. We were also lucky to do it in the days when the volcano emitted some puffs, and the day was splendid.Our guide Piera was exceptional, prepared and nice. Very nice also the visit to the cave. Excellent food experience, I have problems with food intolerances (I advised during the booking), I was prepared a separate dish with great food, bread and gluten-free rusks. I recommend comfortable clothing, hiking boots, better dress “onion”, often there is wind. We will definitely come back to do the tour taking the cable car as well.

Inoubliable - Unforgettable for lovers of volcanoes! Our guide Catherine was of simplicity, calm and absolute benevolence, clear explanations... the icing on the cake we heard 2 or 3 times the volcano! Il piatto contadino era molto buono 😜👌 The setting was beautiful as well as the staff, nothing to say!!... Grazie a tutti 🫶 Priscilla, Antoine, Giulia è Carla

Private 4x4 tour with Luca - Fantastic day! Did a private tour with Luca who was an incredible guide, I don't think he stopped giving us information for the 4 hours we were with him - he had great English and was extremely knowledgeable. Tour was great, we started at 11 which meant we didn't collide with any other groups for the entire duration. Started at the craters near the bottom of the cable-car, but had a very detailed explanation of what we were looking at that we just wouldn't have got if we'd done it on our own. Next to the lava tubes, really amazing and again we had them to ourselves. Finally to the Ox Valley viewpoint via an offroad track, again alone, and again with a wealth of information about how it was formed, how they fought against a major flow etc. Then back to the farm to taste amazing food. Would defo recommend to do it privately with Luca.

Wonderful experience - Tour absolutely recommended. L 'we chose it because it seemed a good compromise, having a 3-year-old, to see the wonders of Etna without too much effort and we were pleasantly surprised by' experience that made us live Alessio, our guide. He accompanied us to the most beautiful places of the volcano by jeep and with great passion and expertise (not to mention patience!) filled our morning with stories and information without ever being heavy, indeed! He was able to answer all our curiosity and gave us millions of information in such a natural and simple way that it was very pleasant for children. The view is definitely something that takes your breath away but with this formula it has become a very special ride! To finish tasting stop at the starting point, where we also ate. All really very good and beautiful place, so congratulations to them too. With affection Jade, Alexander, Samuel and Joel
