Best Etna Experience - Contacted the company and were very helpful in responding promptly to give all the necessary information. My guide was called Mirko, which I highly recommend!! Very kind, very knowledgeable, respectful and helpful. Mirko made the meeting to various people in the group and drove us back to the same points on the way back. We managed to have time to take a break, start the trek, take pictures, a lunch break included in the price and visit the cave in half a day without feeling like being considerate. The group was great and I had the opportunity to meet some beautiful people with whom I had a lot of fun despite having initially come alone. I highly recommend the company and especially Mirko as a guide to both local people and tourists!

Etna safely and with sympathy - Everything perfect, very interesting experience, nice and prepared guide, absolutely to recommend!
The service included an appointment in an agreed location with us, a stone's throw from where we were staying, and where they then accompanied us, as well as a hearty snack in a refuge on Mount Etna, based on local delicacies and wine (arancini, pizza and various pastries), with attention to one of our fellow adventurers, lactose intolerant had snack ad hoc. They also provide suitable jackets and shoes.
We thank Danilo for his professionalism, sympathy and willingness to answer our many questions always with a smile! Not too demanding ride, suitable for all ages.

A Fun Adventure! - It was the perfect day! Salvo and Mirko were amazing guides - knowledgeable, funny and kind. The hike wasn’t too hard either! Lots of built in resting points to make it manageable. Overall, I’d highly recommend it.

Etna Experience Amazing!! - We took the tour this morning with Marco. He was knowledgeable, personable and fun. He was great at explaining the volcanic activities, he even drew pictures in the rocks. A half day started at 8:30 and we finished at 15:00. Plenty of time for hiking the craters, hiking in the grotto, plenty of pictures and a delicious Sicilian lunch. Perfecto!!

Unmissable experience - From the moment we met Giovanni, our guide on this fantastic half day, we were thrown into a fantastic experience. For years I had dreamed of visiting Etna and, not only were all my curiosities satisfied, but the surprises, everything we learned and the emotion that this very knowledgeable and passionate boy conveyed to us made this day unforgettable.
Thanks John!

Etna - Very interesting visit, well organised, Giovanni was our guide and very knowledgable. We had good weather but still a little chilly at the top. Nice picnic lunch. The trip was both English and Italian, Giovanni is fluent in English and was able to answer all our questions. A really good day.

Amazing staff, amazing trip! - Great experience! The tour guide (Danilo) was informative and kept the walk along the craters accessible and interesting. The company also equips you with hiking boots and a warm coat if you don’t have your own (I wasn’t expecting snow so was glad of this!). The best part of booking with this company is the helpful and professional staff they had. My initial booking had to be cancelled due to bad weather and the staff (Laura, Helena) were great at helping me book another experience. They also arranged for me to get a different pickup and drop off location. I’m so happy with my adventure!

Advised - Organized, available, competent.
Only two days in Catania but we wanted to go to Etna. We advised that we had to catch the plane in the late afternoon and they respected the timing to allow us the visit and return. Danilo, the guide, is truly competent: he managed to involve a very heterogeneous group (from the 14 year old girl - very happy - to the 70 year olds, foreigners and Italians).
The guided tour is really worth it because it made us appreciate and notice things that I certainly wouldn't have noticed otherwise.
