Cosy but not too short hike - Great tour for all fitness classes who can walk alone on 10cm deep gravel. You take the lift up for 50€ and then go up 300-400m depending on the group. The tour guide explained in English and Italian. That was very interesting. After seeing many craters and a “cave” of solid lava and being at about 2850m above sea level you turn back towards the lift. Really very great and very relaxed experience! I'm not on the lift up and down, but everything on foot. That's 11km and 1100m.

Unique experience - What we saw up there is really spectacular, I did not think I could feel the steam coming out of the rocks, accompanied from the first moment impeccably with detailed explanations at every step of the way the Guide managed to convey his love for the mountain making the trip exciting. In addition, in a few hours a feeling was created with the group and the walk of a few hours seemed a moment. Thanks again to the Luca Guide💯 ... experience to be redone🚡🛺🧗

Visit craters without cable car. - Staff available and prepared. Experience to recommend! We visited the craters with Guide Andrea who gave us all the explanations. For those interested you can reach the top on foot avoiding the cable car.

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!

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.
