Mount Etna Adventure - Visiting Mount Etna with Laura as our guide was the experience of a lifetime ! We had a chance to walk inside multiple craters of Mount Etna , walk through the inside of the lava tubes , and over look the valley where lava flows during eruptions . Laura was quite the expert and thoroughly answered all of our questions . I cannot wait until I visit Mount Etna a second time and to connect with Laura again on a tour . We highly recommended Laura for your Mount Etna experience !

Enjoyable Tour! - I had a wonderful tour of Mt. Etna! The guide, Laura, took us to fascinating and beautiful views points of Mt. Etna! She explained the historical and geological perspectives of the surrounding landscape and the volcanic processes of Mt. Etna. She is passionate about these topics, which made it good for listening and supportive for questions. The hike in a lava tube is definitely one of the highlights!

Best day of our holiday! - From the moment Laura met us in Catania she felt like a friend - a particularly knowledgeable friend! She drove us, safely and efficiently, around Etna, stopping at the most interesting spots and explaining as we went. Her English was very good and her knowledge of the volcano excellent. We all agreed that this was the best day of our Sicilian holiday!

Impressive visit - Short and easy but very impressive visit. Next time, if I'm in good shape, I'll choose a full day tour, from morning to evening! Many thanks to Laura for her explanations.
Brief and easy visit, my impressive journey. La prossima volta, se sarò a form, sceglierò una vista di una giornata intera, dalla matina alla sera! Grazie molte a Laura per le sue spiegazioni (in english e italiano).
