Beautiful! - Our experience with the Etna Summit Craters for Small Groups excursion was fantastic. Everything was well organized and we were able to fully enjoy the beauty of the Etna Volcano.
Our guide, Claudio, was extremely professional. He also provided us with lots of interesting information about the geology and history of Etna, making our tour an experience full of fascinating information, as well as breathtaking scenery. Walking on the summit craters of Etna was surreal, with spectacular views from the Sicilian coast to the lava fields, and unique and unforgettable views.
