Ottima escursione! - I participated in the excursion on foot with the guide Sergio Calvi and Ornella! Sono stati super!!! Sia nelle spiegazioni che per la compagnia! Despite the volcanic activity of these days did not allow the ascent to the central crater was still beautiful! An experience that I recommend to those who want to walk on the slopes of Etna!

Guided tour top - Very interesting tour which includes the ski lift (which alone costs 50€/p!) + all terrain to climb higher and 2h of walking about, in a gentle descent. This is done with groups of 1 to 15p depending on demand. Our guide was very interesting and without these explanations I would have seen this black mountain but not understood the details and anecdotes that give all the relief to the thing. Without a guide go to the beach! Then if the band has lame ducks it works slowly but for us it wasn't. Thank you.

Hiking in the summit region - Very interesting hike with lots of explanations from the guide Gianfranco. Very educational and impressive the huge amounts of lava. Beautiful views of Catania and the interior of Sicily. We were lucky, the weather was clear and we were able to take beautiful photos. Thanks to the whole team.

Trekking through the craters of Etna - Great walk through the crater of Etna. Expensive, but worth it, it's spectacular. The guide, Gianfri, was phenomenal, very attentive to everyone and explaining everything we saw in detail. You have to be in some physical shape because you walk for about four hours, there are no shadows and there are slopes, but it is not difficult. Awesome.

Mozzafiato, ma... - Classic Etna-themed mountain structure, with souvenirs and typical products. I participated in the excursion to Etna 3000m. Beautiful and suggestive hike. Aurelio, the Guide, friendly and helpful accompanied us through a long 4h route to discover some of the extinct craters of Etna, lava flows, valleys, "sand deserts" and lava tunnels. Through this excursion it was possible to admire incredible and uncontaminated landscapes and even walk through the clouds. Absolutely recommended. The price, including: cable car, bus, excursion and equipment rental (boots, windbreaker, helmet) was 110 €, I leave the reader the judgment on this. Overall, I think it is an experience to be had at least once in a lifetime; however, I would not do it again because of the price I think is high.
