Great Experience! - What a great experience! Our guide Daniele made our whole day one of the highlights of our visit to Sicily (an unscheduled stop was our favorite part!) His knowledge of the volcano was impressive and the winery and farmhouse lunch was very enjoyable. I'd highly recommend!

Highly recommended. Great Mount Etna Hike tailored to my personal needs. - I was very impressed by the personal service I received from this company. I was looking for a customised Private Hiking tour of Mount Etna according to my requirements. I enquired with several different companies without much luck. Some wouldn't respond. Some didn't respond with what I wanted and some either refused to run the tour due to the season, or was complacent and slack in their responses. Not this company. From the word go, everything was so professional. I loved the service I received from Jessica over email who patiently explained everything to me, and made very useful suggestions about what area to hike in, based on my specific needs. A couple of days before the tour, the owner Pasquale phoned me up to explain the state of the weather conditions at Mount Etna. The weather was poor and an offering was made for an alternative day to maximise the chances of a good experience. However I only had that one day so I couldn't swap it and I still wanted to go provided it was safe enough to do so and I was going to let the hiking guide make that call. Pasquale was understanding and patient and agreed. Luckily the day of my hike, while going up there was not great weather, when we got to the first hike spot and beyond that, everything cleared up like I hoped and yes it was freezing cold and windy but the experience was fabulous and I got what I wanted and more. Elena was a great hiking guide. Astute and prepared. She had hiking sticks and made sure I was safe, checking on me all the time. She was flexible and lovely and we had a great personal chat. She had a thick jacket for me as well. I would suggest that the company provide some guidance to guests in future about what to bring and wear in terms of clothing because the temperature up there was nowhere near what it was on the ground. I caught a bit of a cough after that but luckily had medicine to clear it up in a few days. Also perhaps the company might want to invest in some company cars or a nicer, larger car. Otherwise I highly recommend this company because they provide an excellent, personal, professional, caring and accurate service, very much tailored to my needs. They didn't need any deposit as well so there's nothing to lose. I would happily use the company again.

A highly recommended tour of Etna followed by a wonderful winery lunch - We booked a private tour because we wanted flexibility and to focus on things that were important to us. The weather and visibility at Etna can be unpredictable . We were very lucky. By the time we got up towards the summit it was entirely clear. Our guide Alessandra was brilliant - the perfect mixture of friendliness, enthusiasm, passion and knowledge. She talked us through the different options of how to approach Etna. In the end, we decide to go on the cable car which was a great experience. Our Etna trip was followed by visit to a small winery owned and run by two brothers - a labour of love. Their wine complemented a lovely meal prepared by the wife of one of the brothers. There is certainly no pressure at all to purchase any wine. Seeing Etna was a real highlight in what was already a fabulous visit to eastern Sicily. Thank you very much Alessandra - you gave us memories that will live with us forever.

Mr Etna hike with Massimo - We loved this excursion, Massimo was the best guide his English was great and he was very knowledgeable about the history of the island and the volcano. The hike on the north side was beautiful, just the right amount of Challenge, not not too hard but very fun and great scenery along the lava flow fields. The lunch and winery were great as well I would highly recommend this tour and ask for Massimo as your guide.
