An immersive experience - I would like to point out here the preparation and professionalism of Aristide Tomasino, with whom we made a more than pleasant excursion on the Silvestri craters of Etna: he explained in detail the different types of volcano and how over time we determine what we see today. An exciting history of geology in which he managed to engage the attention and curiosity of all participants. Aristide is a cultured man and has not failed to make interesting historical quotations, also seasoned with the innate sympathy of the Sicilian leprechaun that he is. I highly recommend it to those who want to plan a guided tour of Mount Etna but also the Aeolian Islands.

Fantastic experience at 2000 meters with family - Alberto excellent guide has illustrated 360 degrees and in many respects Etna .We visited 2000 meters craters Silvestri, tunnel scroll the friend and the Valley of the Bove. Tour suitable for everyone. The departure at 8am allowed us to visit the most beautiful places on our own despite the period. Maximum availability, many anecdotes and tips for the continuation of our journey. Particularly significant was the meeting with Mr. Sebastiano of the farm that before the tasting spoke with so much passion about his work as a beekeeper and presented his bees.

A wonderful morning to discover Etna!! - Our guide Florinda was magnificent: very prepared, nice, kind and welcoming. Despite for us it was the first time on a volcano, it made us feel welcomed and safe and gave us a wonderful spring morning to discover a unique place in the world. The departure time of the tour is perfect both to avoid too much heat and too many tourists. Excellent organization. Thanks Excursion Etna!!

Patient and enthusiastic guides - We are a family of 6 with a 7 year old and 1 disable person. We did a private version of the morning tour. Our guides were Aristides and Daniela. They were both knowledgeable and shared many fun facts about Etna. We really felt their love towards Mt Etna! They were also very patient with our situation. My family enjoyed the tour a lot!

A must ...if you want to see Mt.Etna! - An amazing half day tour. Our guide Florinda was alot of fun and very knowledgeable about Mt Etna herself as well as the surrounding areas. She made the excursion very informative but also lots of fun. Seeing the craters, the lava cave and trip to local farm were all worthwhile. Highly recommend using a guide if you plan on seeing Mt.Etna.

Trip to Etna - We can fully recommend morning trip to Etna organized by this company. Added value is definately guiding by Simone who is very kind and knowledgable person with passion for his work related to Etna topic. Afterwards visit of local farm with tasting of their wines, olives, pesto and honey was also very nice.

A Nice Etna Experience! - Very informative and fun trip to Etna. Only slight issue was the size of the vehicle transporting us. A bit of a tight squeeze!

Rude and not helpful - The guide Florinda was really prepared and welcoming, but we didn't like the organisation. We were 7 and despite the fact that we told the owner, Aristide, that we wanted to be together, we discovered the very morning that they splitted us in two groups without asking. Of course we wanted to be together and tried to find a solution, but he replied rudely "this is the only solution, either we go or you stay here" without proposing any kind of refund. Eventually we asked if we could join the trip with our car and managed to take the trip together. We believe he wasn't neither honest nor helpful at all Also, we expected to walk a bit more
