Super good - Went for the first time on a quad bike tour. Tobias was our guide, I did mention to him that I have never done something similar before and he walked me and the rest of the group through some basics. During the journey towards the first stop he kindly checked on me to make sure I was OK and he kept doing so through the whole tour. He gave us plenty of explanation on what we were seeing and it was super interesting to see and find out more about the Etna volcano. Would definitely recommend this, me and my cousin had so much fun

Fun and educational - Our driver Massimo was early by a few minutes (something I really appreciate). He was informative and really friendly. Our quad tour guide, Toby was just as impressive. Giving us tons of info on Etna and her history. Both my husband & myself thought this was a high point of our 2 weeks in Italy.

Must-see tour of Mount Etna - This is an amazing and fun tour with beautiful views throughout. We got picked up by Massimo, who came directly to our hotel. A very comfortable 45 minute ride later we came to the rendezvous point. All we had to do was present our drivers licenses, fill out a quick form, and we were ready to go on a tour. You don’t need a motorcycle license for this excursion. Helmets provided! Our tour guide was fantastic, and I’m sad his name escapes me, but he was extremely knowledgeable and fun. He does Italian and English tours. If the group is mixed - he does instruction in both, which was my experience. We started off with a short safety briefing and helmet fitting, after which we headed up the mountain. There’s about a 5-10 minute ride on pavement so that you can get used to the accelerator and steering. After that, the real fun begins: you start going through rough terrain and it’s a lot of fun on an ATV. The entire ride you will have the urge to take pictures, but no worries, there’s going to be a stop. The guide showed us awesome sprawling vistas and didn’t mind taking an occasional photo. I can tell that he really likes doing this tour and it resulted in a great experience for us. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who’s interested in checking out mount Etna. Here’s a few things to keep in mind: 1. If you’re doing the tour in fall, you might want to bring gloves (there are souvenir shops selling them) 2. The fog/clouds rise in the afternoon - try to take the tour earlier. 3. Warm clothes - I would suggest wearing a light backpack so you can layer up during the trip. A hoodie and a light raincoat may be enough. In a pinch — the gift shops around the starting point might have what you need. Thank you all for a well-organized and fun excursion!

Nice one! - Lovely day! We spent a lovely day with this activity. We had one similar in Spain and this was just magic because of the volcanic setting. Easy level and full equipment given.

BEWARE - The Viator platform brokers people that do business under the disguise of legitimate businesses - The tour operator didn't show up. Viator deposited my money and gave me a confirmation number but apparently I had to commit to the time slots - makes sense. I did through viator a day before the event (more than 24hrs) by whatsapp because the tour guide number didn't work. I show up at the meeting ground (cafe with their booth) but they had nothing for me nor was the booth belonging to the tour guide company. Without confirmation by the tour guide of the time slot they did not have my reservation - So give me my money back! after 2 weeks Viator admin still retains my money
