Unforgettable experience - We had a fabulous time. Our guide, Luca, was very knowledgeable about not only volcanoes, but the natural and social history of the area. We are so pleased that we chose a tour with a farm and dining experience. The tasting was amazing, with numerous local sweet and savory treats. After lunch we roamed around the farm. Mt. Etna was rumbling and steaming. Go on this tour!

We went to the lava... - We went to the lava tunnels and it was fun. Very knowledgeable tour guides. Learned a lot about how the city was formed thousands of years ago. We learned that certain precautions must be taken when the volcano is erupting. Great views and took lots of pictures.

Must-see! - Going to Sicily and not taking a ride on Mount Etna would be a mistake! This excursion is at the top and allows you to discover 3 different points and breathtaking views of Sicily. Do not hesitate to book an excursion in your language.

Wonderful experience at Etna - Definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to know more about Sicily, volcanos or Etna. Our guide is very knowledgeable of the geological history of the island and pointed out details on site for us to understand the formation of the landscape.

Great tour, shame about the weather - In very many ways this was an excellent tour. Our guide, Seb is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Etna. He explained a huge amount about volcanos, often making little models or diagrams in the ash. He explained the history, the wildlife and flora. He showed us different types of material from the mountain and where different lava flows happened. The tour into the lava tunnel was extraordinary. He even picked us up and dropped us off in Catanis. The only reason it is not 5 out of 5 is the one thing he could do nothing about. The weather was cold, wet low cloud/fog. We saw almost nothing of what promised to be fabulous views. He checked the apps in hope of it clearing but we only had this fleeting glimpse from 2000m. Such a shame but he worked hard to make it a grest experience, regardless.
