Thank you Giuseppe! - An exceptionally interesting and well-organized excursion. Giuseppe is a knowledgeable and attentive guide, clearly an expert in his field. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the cave beneath the lava and hiking along the successive lava flows—truly awe-inspiring. Giuseppe’s explanations throughout the walk provided valuable insights into various aspects of Mount Etna, including the nature of the volcano, its different eruptions, the impact on the local population, cultural and historical context, and the diverse ecosystems surrounding the volcano.

Learn by moving - Fantastic small group tour (4) to discover Mount Etna which greeted us with several explosions throughout the experience. Our Guide was very kind and was happy to answer all our questions about the volcano, volcanoes in general as well as about the local culture.

Mount Edna is worth the trip. - We were surprised at how much Mount Etna dominates western Sicily. The biggest thrill was hearing the volcanic explosions and seeing the volcanic clouds rising from the peak.

Informative & Worthwhile - The tour was good and worthwhile. No knock on Guiseppe as he was knowledgeable, informative and answered all of our questions. Recommend asking him to speak up (low talker) as he is a geologist and would passionately elaborate turning his head away from us. Also, recommend asking him to repeat as some translations were lost. Nonetheless, good presentation overall. Lunch was good and plentiful. Overall experience was good. Would recommend!
