Request Luca for a SUPER tour of Mt. Etna. - Luca our guide was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and made our day on Mt. Etna special. We hiked thru Lava Tubes and over many Craters and learned about the fauna.

Fascinating, exciting adventure - Excellent trip with our guide Saro, who gave us a fascinating insight into Etna, the local area, and Sicily. His knowledgeable and enthusiastic approach couldn't be improved. We had an amazing day and would definitely recommend a jeep tour.

Definitely worth experiencing. A great was to see Mt. Etna and experience a wonderful part of Sicily! - Being in the midst of the craters and seeing the large lava rocks that had been thrown from the volcano when it erupted was amazing. Worth making a note that we were not in a Jeep. We were in a van. The main picture on Viator is not correct. Luca our guide was wonderful, very helpful, knowledgeable and fun! He was a delight. The one thing we missed in preparation was for the hiking part of the trip. Make sure to bring proper hiking shoes and be prepared for rain and cold depending on the day.

A very uncomfortable tour. - We believed we signed up for a private tour, but there were 4 others squeezed into a small car.
We were never told there was a 1 hour hike. We were not advised to carry water.
At the end of the tour we were not immediately taken to our hotel, but on an hour-long trip to drop off the 4 other participants at a vineyard.

Shambles - The tour did not happen as apparently the jeep broke down that morning. It was about 75 minutes after the scheduled pick up that we were notified that the tour could not take place. The alternative dates offered were of no use to us as we were on our penultimate day on holiday.
