Peak of Sicily - Try not to miss out on this for your to-do list for Sicily. We thought it would be good but it exceeded our expectations. We arrived and were greeted by Luca and Ciccio and were invited to taste the wonderful array of tastings of local food and drink. Both Luca and Ciccio were informative and entertaining in educating us on the science and mythology of Mount Etna and Sicily; it was enhanced by their humor and sense of fun. We ventured into a lava tube which was a first for all of us and was fascinating. The climb up to the vista point for sunset was timed perfectly where we congregated next to a crater and enjoyed an aperitif and watched the sunset from high up on Etna. A once in a lifetime experience for most, so don’t miss out. Make sure that you dress appropriately so that your experience is not interrupted with the cold. It is a high elevation and no surprise that it will be cold and windy.

Mother Etna - An unforgettable and exciting experience, made even more special by our guide Francesco who, with great competence and passion, told us with enthusiasm the history, jealousy and curiosities related to the territory. Clear and interesting explanations! Thanks to the guide we experienced Etna in an authentic way until concluding with a sweet sunset to the sound of Zibibbo and biscuits. I highly recommend this experience to those who want to discover Etna with eyes and heart. Special thanks to Francesco Ciccio!

Great overview of Mount Etna with a very knowledgeable tour guide - Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and took the time to describe the history of Mount Etna and surrounding areas. He explained very well how the volcanoes work and affect local people's lives. We were lucky to get to see lava flow from distance and our guide knew a good spot to enjoy that spectacular view while tasting nice local wines. The money spent on this tour was very much worth it and it exceeded all our expectations. We highly recommend this tour to see and experience Mama Etna!
