The Best Guide! The best meal! Breathtaking views and sunset!! s - Alessio was the perfect Guide: friendly, always smiling, very good popularizer in his explanations, very knowledgeable (he knew how to answer all our questions), he gave us time to take our photos. He adapted to our tastes and needs while making sure we saw what to see. And more! What a positive!! The ride itself was extraordinary. We were lucky enough to have an ideal temperature and witnessed a beautiful sunset. And what about the delicious meal taken on site before leaving: super well prepared local products, red wine from their vineyards, extremely friendly staff. What a fabulous day! A big thank you to your team! I recommend 100%

A tour as wonderful as the sunset. - The knowledge and passion for everything Etna that these young men show is infectious and wonderful to see. The trip was excellent and every bit as interesting as we had hoped. Don’t hesitate to book with Alessio & his colleagues, you won’t regret it.

A fantastic tour, well worth the money. - Really great tour well laid out and informative. The meeting point has plenty of parking and a cafe for refreshments. The route you will go on depends on the weather, it was very foggy the day we went but our guide still managed to take us to locations that were breathtaking.

A day with Mother Etna - From beginning to end! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and gave us the best experience. Despite no sunset we were not disappointed. It was an incredible experience and so many facts. Walking inside a lava tube was amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone.

An unforgettable experience, a must-see - The 4x4 tour to Etna was amazing! The landscapes were stunning, and the off-road adventure was thrilling. Our guide, Francesco, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the area. He made the tour both fun and informative, sharing great insights about the volcano and its history. If you’re looking for a memorable adventure, I highly recommend this tour, and a special thanks to Francesco for making it unforgettable!

Everything was great - The tour was great. We learned a lot about Etna and Sicily in general. The tour guides have declared it very entertaining for big and small. The tour was very interesting and very nicely structured. We would recommend that if you do the tour with sunset that you come a little earlier for the tasting, as there is so much to try and you can easily get behind schedule. The tour is highly recommended.
