Great tour with good and experienced guide. - It was a great tour, with lots of in depth information about Etna and the volcanoes. It was interesting and good information even for our teenagers. Our guide was Francesco who showed us many different sides of Sicily and Etna. He spoke good English, easy to understand. At the end we had a tasting of local products and a gourgeus meal. I would highly recommend it.

Really lovely small group tour - Excellent tour from start to finish. Our guide Chicco was very knowledgeable about Etna and the surrounding area. I was a little anxious about going in to the lava tube cave but the guides reassured me and I’m glad I did it. The food and drink tasters at the end lovely and we hade the most amazing meat & cheese platter for lunch. Would highly recommend

Great guide - Francesco was a great guide who had a great depth of knowledge and responded well to being asked lots of questions. The food is very tasty at the end. The 4x4 part is a dirt track through chestnut trees that could easily be avoided by tarmac road and the tours goes as far up as the tourist base. If you want to learn lots of knowledge about the volcano naturial history and mythology but not walk much, this is the tour for you.

Breathtaking and a pure pleasure. - My husband has mobility limitations and our driver Francesco was so kind and accommodating, that he gave my husband a private one on one tour. My guide, Grazia was so lovely and informative. It was a pleasure.

Worth the trip - Guides (Cicio and Alessio) dynamic and with a lot of knowledge about the geological phenomena that surrounded us. Local gastronomy to enjoy without fail at the end of the trip. Make or repeat without fail

Great tour, but … - A tour of Etna is something not to be missed. Out tour included everything which was as described. Three things stop me from awarding five stars. First, the local pick up, at extra cost, was from a point that was completely inconvenient for the guests that needed pick up. Second, the ‘off road’ rutted track experience was OK, but not really anything to do with Etna. Third, our tour group included a family who thought the world revolved about them. We were left waiting for them again and again. Wasting the time we had paid for. Guides need to know how to handle this kind of thing. Even in relaxed Sicily!
