At sunset on Etna - Great experience! I had already been to Mount Etna a few years ago, but I must say that this excursion really left me speechless. The care, attention, passion of Guide Alberto have captured us and amused us a lot!
Very good Alberto, thank you for helping to bring a bit of Sicily home with us!

Very beautiful discovery of Etna - It was a very nice discovery. We really enjoyed spending this moment of discovery with our great guide Simone. Everything was very interesting: the tasting of typical products, the visit to the volcanic cave and of course the ride on Etna. Simone is a very good guide, very professional but also friendly. We recommend this excursion.

Fun and informative tour of a natural wonder! - The tour was fun, informative and very professionally organised. We had a really knowledgeable and engaging tour guide- Simone. We saw the Vallei del Bove, explored a lava cave, and hiked up the Silvestri craters. Also had time to stop off for a brief wine tasting! I would be happy to recommend this tour to anyone keen on discovering Etna. Grazie Simone!

The best tour ever! - We took this tour as a family of 4 and we enjoyed it very much! The stops are well planned, we saw a bit of the Etna, the lava caves as well as parts of the towns nearby. Our guide Zelia was the best and we learned a lot about the people and the nature of the Etna. We did not exacly experience the sunset part of the tour, because it was a very foggy day, but we still got to see some very nice views. Highly recomend this tour!

Meeting with Etna and its landscapes - A few days ago we took part in a half-day excursion suitable for families with children: led by Aristide, we set off to discover the volcano and its landscapes in the early afternoon. He explained to us the history of the volcano and its eruptions with professionalism and competence, but always trying to interact, especially with my children. He alternated explanations with stories about past eruptions and the local population which made the time very pleasant. We started with a tasting of local products and then continued to the top of the forest craters, but not before having explored an underground cave!! Overall, a great experience in pleasant company.

Pleasant sunset hike - The guide was very knowledgeable and above all passionate. The short excursion into one of the tunnels created by the lava was very interesting and the walk on the craters was beautiful!!

Excellent - An experience not to be missed, immersed in the nature and culture of this wonderful area that envelops you entirely. A walk, a little more tiring in some places but absolutely doable, which goes from a green landscape to an almost completely black one, and with a final view that takes your breath away.
Our guide was very kind and helpful, highly knowledgeable and above all very engaging. He slowly immersed us in the history behind the volcano and involved us even more, trying to make us understand the various paths and processes that the lava follows. It is possible to ask him for any information regarding the tour and the surrounding area.
An experience that we highly recommend and especially if accompanied by our, now friend, Aristide will not disappoint you!
