Perfect French excursion - Excellent half day stroll with Florence and Eduardo our French guides. They are lovers of their profession and they pass it on to us wonderfully. Never shy of explanations or changes of itinerary to accommodate a last minute physical problem. The Mama Etna excursion on their side was very pleasant and rich in discovery

Incredible day - Amazing experience! Mount Etna is breathtaking and Giuseppe made the tour even better. He taught us many interesting facts about the volcano and was very friendly and helpful. The tasting at the winery at the end was gorgeous, one delicacy better than the other!

Great experience - We reserved the tour on friday night to then wake up on saturday with a gray and rainy Catania. We were unsure if it was worth it but our guide (Nando) reassured us that we were going up to 2000m and the weather there could be completely different. After picking up the rest of the group (7 total) with a nice fiat minivan, we first reached the long cave where Nando explained us the process of formation of volcanic caves while showing us the signs. we then reached rifugio sapienza at 2000m with our guide showing us how the landscape was changing while climbing up in the van. Reached the top we had the possibility to take a cable car and reach 2750m where another guide would give us a tour (for 67Eur extra cost). We instead opted for staying at the craters close to the rifugio and it was spectacular, the views and imagining the eruptions looking at the craters formed more than 200years ago. Very knowledgeable, easygoing and funny guide, Nando "made the sun shine" across the clouds! On the way back we stopped at a small producer of honey that mounted a little museum of old practices and let us try their delicious product that you can buy for good prices. Highly Recommended!

Great Etna Experience! - We booked this tour during our stay in Catania and had a great time visiting the Etna with our lovely guide Luigi, who was very passionate and knowledgeable about the volcano and its surroundings.

Catania day trip to Mt Etna with Etna Tribe - We had a fabulous half day tour of Mt Etna! Our guide, Simone, was so helpful and knowledgeable (as well as patient)! We were picked up at our hotel with boots for us to borrow. Simone narrated with interesting facts throughout! The stop off at the cave was fascinating. We enjoyed a coffee with superb views! the cable cars are a must do! On the return, we stopped off at a farm shop, Oro d'Etna sampling local produce such as wine, olives, honey and oils. I would highly recommend Etna Tribe for any of their tours.

Etna Half-Day Trip - The tour was really nice, with 2 very expert, friendly and informative guides. They picked us up rigth in front of the hotel, we went up to the Etna, then did a 2 hour-walking-tour. After that, we entered a volcanic cave nearby, and than we went to honey shop where we could taste the specialty of the region. At the end of the day we were dropped at our accomodation. It was a very good experience for a reasonable price.
