To be redone..... - Unique experience.
The lava flow seen up close was really exciting, both for us who live at the foot of Mount Etna but especially for our relatives who came from Turin and who have long wanted to do this tour.
Nuccio, very professional and empathetic with the group, guided us impeccably.
To be repeated definitely and I emphasize that to climb is necessary and important the presence of a guide.
Thanks to Etna Hexagonal Trekking Tour!

It's not just a mountain hike but a trip on a volcano!! A volcano that is alive and unimaginable! Unique!! - Very good organization, we got the necessary amenities such as helmet, hiking boots and a windbreaker so we experienced the trip as very comfortable.
Our guide Luca gave us a professional explanation and immediately put us at ease. He didn’t take any risks to ensure our safety and he took into account the different walking paces.
There were often moments of rest where he gave us time to take pictures and give information about the volcano. We could also drink enough and have a snack.
The view was breathtaking, we took beautiful pictures.
It was absolutely worth doing during our stay in Sicily!

Definitely worth the price if you’re visiting - We had Luca as our guide and he was brilliant. His English was perfect and the pace and sights were great. We learned a lot and had a great few hours on the volcano. Highly recommended if you’re in the area. The supplied equipment of boots, walking poles and coats really helped too.

Great, thanks. - Great experience, experienced company that offers maximum competence and safety.
We thank for the experience the owner Nuccio (Bastian opposite...), Edward for the information, but especially our guide Luca, engaging expert, nice and kind.
I highly recommend bringing cash because with the ATM you pay only the cable car (50€), while the rest (100€ per person) all cash...
