GOOD EXPERIENCE - Beautiful experience on Etna . Andrea was a very “friendly” guide from DA immediately and gave us many notions about Etna. Prepared and very attentive to "tourists". He pampered us from beginning to end. RECOMMENDED!

Our guide, Kevin, was... - Our guide, Kevin, was fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable about Etna. We had 3 generations together in the jeep and all of us enjoyed the trip and learnt so much. The wine, oil and honey tasting was tied to a local producer with no pressure to buy.

Amazing excuse - Highly recommended tour, very friendly enthusiastic guide. Just be aware, this tour is not taking you to the top of Etna, "only" 2000m high. We also took a boat trip with snorkeling, that was also amazing.

Great half day trip to see Etna sights. - A small group, comfortable vehicle and engaging guides. A close up look at Mt Etna without hiking. We were the only English speakers in the group but the guides ensured we got equal commentary. Would recommend.
