Magical - The experience was magical from start to finish. It was really well organised with collection times, then our guide Salvator was so knowledgeable about Etna and all the surrounding nature and urban areas. He was also great at dealing with the different unpredictable weathers! The second part of the day includes wine tasting, olive oil tasting, and jam tasting - it was absolutely wonderful. I joined as a solo traveller and met some lovely people - I’d encourage anyone to do this!

Amazing tour with guide Claudio - Great experience would highly recommend this tour! Our guide Claudio was amazing- very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. He went above and beyond even lending his gloves when we got cold on Mount Etna. The wine and food tastings were also fantastic.

Claudio the great - Our guide Claudio was excellent! He knew every answer right down to even why there were so many lady bugs on the mountain; on top of so many other facts. The wine tasting was great and all in all a great tour of Mount Etna.

We chose not to take the... - We chose not to take the cable car to 3000m. Instead we had a very informative trek around the base and up to view a crater. I found the ash very slippery to walk on but our guide was so kind encouraging and helpful. Cloud cover was minimal and the views were amazing.

Perfect! - Fun and knowledgeable guide. The information was very transparent with multiple options for activities once on Mount Etna. Great communication beforehand, small group and wonderful wine and food tasting on the way back.

Mt Etna with Pepe - Giuseppe Barbagallo was the best guide. He was knowledgeable, he was kind and funny. He answered all our questions and he took us to an amazing winery. We highly recommend a tour with Pepe

Etna tour with Bruna - We highly recommend this tour. It was very informative and fun. Our guide Bruna was amazing! She has not all the best knowledge about mt Etna, but she takes care about every one in her group. Even providing scarf and gloves 😁! She is energetic and fun. We couldn't stop smiling all day😊

Up Mt. Etna - It was a great experience seeing Mt. Etna & our tour guide was very good. The flavors part was just okay (some wine crackers & dips). The road up & back was very winding & you could easily get sick.

great day at mt etna! bruna was great! cable car experience not very good - bruna was great very knowledgeable, helpful and funny. bruna gave us a lot of information about etna and where to go with cable car. a bit disappointed when you get to top of cable car, the etna guide left us and didn’t tell us any information about etna and we had to find another group to follow to get back. but no fault of bruna or the company.
