Excellent tour and guide - We had a great day of hiking and learning with Marco on the Easy Top Etna tour. He was prompt, fluent in English, friendly, very knowledgeable about the volcano, botony, & history of the region. I felt that he had a good sense of the individuals in our group and made sure everyone was sarisfied. The lunch provided was delicious! Everything was coordinated smoothly and we got to experience the beauty and majesty of Mamma Etna with a local. Highly recommend!

Great experience from booking to hiking - If you are planning to visit Etna, I highly recommend you book a tour with Etna Experience. Our experience with them was fantastic, from the efficient and courteous team in reservations to our knowledgeable guide Marco who spoke perfect English. We did the full day "easy" tour, took the 4x4 bus, the cable car, had lunch and then visited the Silvestri craters and a cave. Marco shared so much incredible information with us about Etna, volcanos, and indigenous plants - in perfect English - and you could feel how much he really cares about his customers and this precious part of Sicily.

Not so easy but definitely Well worth it! - Etna Experiences was a terrific resource (we did a sailing trip with them as well). Our day went well above our expectations - literally! Our guide, Angelo, was punctual and patient at our pickup spot 2 blocks from our lodgings. We stopped to pick up hiking boots and poles,after he checked our shoes for adequate treads. Well-informed, he was able to share so much about the area, the volcano, the eruptions… The trip to our high destination involved a van, cable car, large ATV , and a hike. Easy it was not but within our capabilities (our group of 4 ranged from 32 to 73 yrs old) and definitely well worth it . Back to the base of the cable car, we hiked through a lava field up to the edge of a lateral crater, and learned about botany as well as seismic history. Finally, we had (provided by EE) delicious pasta and lovely wine, followed by great cannoli, at the Refugio Sapienza. It was a terrific day for all of us.

Best tour in Sicily - One of the best guided tours I have done. Our tour guide was a really passionate volcanologist who gave us a lot of information about the volcano and the surrounding environment. The views were absolutely spectacular and we had a nice picnic with traditional Italian sandwiches at the end. Would highly recommend this if you want to visit Etna and learn more about it. The trek itself is not that difficult so anyone can access it.

Excellent! - We didn’t really know what to expect but we couldn’t have imagined a better guide. Danilo was very passionate, enthusiastic and easy-going, which made the entire day to a big success! The tour was interesting, exciting and sometimes even a little adventurous - a perfect combination. The excellent weather conditions were a great addition to this unforgettable experience.

Top tour - Although our tour was restricted to the lower levels due to high winds, our guides extensive knowledge in both geology and biology (he was a young biologist), plus the excitement of climbing down into a lava tube (ladder also available for us 2 oldies!) Most impressed with the strong rapour the guide grew and maintained throughout the tour, that encouraged questions and discussions that resonated and continued within the group. Everyone came away with both a greater understanding of Etna's geology, flora & fauna, happy memories of a unique experience and great day out with fun like minded people!
