Momma Etna doesn’t disappoint - Wonderful day excursion to Mount Etna with our guide Leonardo. Our am pickup was right in time and only minutes from our accommodation. Our van was very comfortable but it was sometimes difficult to hear Leonardo’s descriptions if you were sitting in the back of the van and the street was very bumpy. The stops were amazing, including our walk through the lava cave and around the base of “Momma Etna”. The Etna wine and cookie were a nice surprise at the end of our walk. Leonardo was happy to answer all of our questions, no matter how weird. I highly recommend Leonardo and this tour.

You have to book a tour with Red Etna! The most awe-inspiring visit of our lives. Marco, bravo e grazie 🌋❤️ - The awesome majesty of Etna and Marco’s passion for and knowledge of the volcano made this one of the most unforgettable and beautiful experiences of our lives. From the moment Marco picked us up in Catania to 5+ hours later when he dropped us off and said our goodbyes, we were enthralled, enchanted, amazed and charmed. Marco, speaking in English and a little French and Spanish plus teaching us Italian (linguist extraordinaire!) taught us so much on our tour about flora, fauna, everything you could want to know about lava flow, eruptions, the reality of being the people who live and work around Etna. Our sons, aged 16 and 10, were able to ask as many questions as they liked and Marco took special care of me when my feat of heights kicked in a little. I just cannot fault the tour. It was a perfect day. We didn’t want it to end. Book a Red Etna tour and you too can have this feeling of joy and wonder not only for Etna but for Marco and the others who study, love and venerate the beautiful, awesome Mother Etna 🌋

Frederico, the perfect guide - About a month ago I did this trip with Frederico as our guide, at that time he started just 2 weeks prior with this job. The overall concept was excellent! However, his enthousiasm made the whole experience so much better, he is a great person to be around. We were practising his English vocabulary together which he was learning on the job and was eager to improve, but already was at a decent level. So I would highly recommend to do this tour when the Etna is open for visits and you stay close or in Catania.

A memorable visit to Etna - Our guide, Carmelo, was extremely knowledgeable and exceptionally informative on a wide range of topics related to Mount Etna and Sicily in general. The tour today in the beautiful region of Mount Etna was made all the more special by our tour guide's love and genuine respect for the area. The organisational aspect of today's tour was also exceptional with the pick up and return beautifully completed. Pre-trip communications were very clear. Many thanks to Red Etna and our tour guide Carmelo for a most memorable day.
