Fabulous day! - We had the best day being guided by Roberto. We were collected on time from our hotel and transported in a comfortable a/c people carrier to Mt Etna where he told us so much about the volcano and the wildlife. We saw caves,enjoyed lunch under the trees and waded in the Gorge. Roberto was entertaining and interesting to listen to,made sure we were all ok and clearly loved what he does. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. It was worth every cent!

Viator's DANI is EXCEPTIONAL and more than a tour guide. - Dani, our Viator tour guide, was EXCEPTIONAL. Spending the entire day with a professional, intelligent, knowledgeable and passionate person was more than we could have expected. Dani could communicate in multiple languages and had a depth of knowledge of the area that is second to none. The connection between Dani, my companion and myself was immediate. Lunching together was also fantastic as we savored the local cuisine that was recommended and booked by Dani. By the time we completed our day, Dani was more than just our tour guide, he had become our friend.

Unforgettable experience - It was such an amazing experience! Our guide, Claudio, was so good. He is clearly so passionate about his job and has in depth knowledge about Etna and the nature in Sicily. Highly recommended 👍🏼

More of a driver than a tour - The trip was good but was mostly a driver with some geographic knowledge. The gorge was lovely but I feel for the price we did not see enough. Our guide was very happy to let us explore further on our own and give us a bit more time but for the same price other tours went up the cable car. The caves were not official but an open cave by the road and a little underwhelming.
