Beautiful day with a fun crew - Joel and Jasmine had great energy and personality throughout this beautiful boat day. They had a bunch of knowledge of the views we passed and the light snacks and time for swimming was the perfect amount!

An awesome guide and an experience not to be missed - With my friend we loved this day on Mount Etna! The guide, Edoardo, was awesome: he knows a ray there, explains well, and he passed the 5 hours very quickly with his jokes and his good humor. He even takes pictures! We had the good weather and therefore DE see clearly the summit and its recurrent explosions. We felt lucky DE see this landscape DE so close. Our only disappointment is DE not seeing DE lava but this was impossible. A sweater was needed EN top at a few moments because the wind blows a lot. The ascent requires some effort but if you have experienced difficult hikes this one is rather simple. EN summary, we recommend you 100% DE visit Etna because the guide was top, it is an experience not to be missed and the price included the visit but also the funicular and a helmet / sticks.
