Beautiful experience - Beautiful experience, we were lucky enough to meet two guides, Silvia and Corrado, both very prepared and very nice. We also enjoyed it with the other couples who took part in the tour. Times are relaxed, we walked on Etna and tasted local products. Activities beyond expectations.

Mount Etna - morning tour - watching it making RINGS - This was one of the best experiences of my life: The morning tour to mount Etna. We started spot on time - very pleasant for a German tourist - and were driven safely up the mountain, by our super driver/guide, Costanza. On the way she told us a lot about the geological, historical and volcanological (?) background of the area and about Mt Etna. Costanza was easy-going, fun to be with, knowledgable and able to make everyone feel welcome. Several tour options were on offer - visiting the summit, go for a walk, etc. When we reached 2000m she recommended going up to 2950m, with the cable car, due to the great weather/sight. She stayed with us at all times making sure we didn't get lost. On that day Mount Etna made astonishing, beautiful rings and Costanza called out to us, on the bus, to come outside, to have a look. It was a super great day - ending with a wine-tasting at an organic vinyard (DO IT - if you can!!!), and a safe, amiable drive home. I highly recommend this trip: great value and wonderful experience. I travelled alone, aged 52, single, but I would love to return with my 12-year-old son :)

Amazing experience! - I had an amazing time with Janet walking around the Etna and learning more about its history. The communication prior to the trip was very efficient and the pick-up was easy to organise. During the trip Janet provided a lot of information but about Etna, volcanoes in general and the geology around Sicily. This was an amazing experience as Janet brought a lot of energy and good mood with her music and kind words. I highly recommend this tour!

Entertaining trip to Etna - Janet was our guide for the day. As a geologist, her passion about Volcanic mountains and especially Mt.Etna( which she calls her home) was very evident. She made the trip very interesting with facts and also Italian songs. I would recommend this trip to others who are visiting Etna for easy, fun experience.

The best guided tour to Etna - I booked this guided tour to Etna on arrival. From the pick-up to the return everything went smooth. Our guide Janet was very knowledgeable both about the volcano and the story of Etna area. Loved her enthusiasm and fun way of communicating. The best guide ever. Highly recommend this tour with Janet.
