Etna 3000 with Michele - Nice experience, charming places and volcanology guide, Michele, very competent, nice, kind and attentive. The uncertain weather forced us to a reduced tour but it was still worth it. To be redone.

Spectacular - A great experience with Salvo as a guide. He is very friendly, passionate and shares his knowledge about Etna. He invests and offers his help in difficult times. The beauty of the site is striking, rubs shoulders with hot and cold, the atmosphere is lunar, the landscape is spectacular, the view from above gives us a beautiful horizon. An excursion not to be missed.

Trekking Etna 3000 - Magical hike in a lunar landscape among craters and fumaroles. We walked on cooled lavas, in black sands and on ice. Our Francophone guide, Marco, spoke very good French. Also, we had all the explanations about the volcanic activity of Etna. Exceptional experience on an active volcano. Thank you!!

Fantastic Etna in black and white - The excursion with guide Antonio was exciting. We experienced firsthand how variable the weather on the volcano can be: we started with the sun, then the clouds have repeatedly obscured the summit craters and finally we descended under a thick hailstorm that in a short time transformed the landscape coloring white. Antonio was very attentive to everyone's needs and varied the route according to the conditions. This allowed us to fully understand the true unpredictable nature of Etna. An unscheduled we then had in the evening when from our farm near Taormina we witnessed live the eruption of the southeast crater.

“Regular vibrant activity at the beginning of the spring” - Challenging ,wearing, but very interesting experience, up to 2920 m and back. Marco, thank you for your great, calm, knowledgeable and patient guide! The firm is giving you the necessary socks, boots, helmet, jacket. Do not forget your suncream, sunglasses! Water! Last shop and toilet is at the terminal funitiva! Etna is showing its regular vibrant activity.

From Sardinia to Etna: between nature and magic - An unforgettable experience! Breathtaking landscapes, a clear sky that accompanied us throughout the day and an exceptional guide, Clara: nice, prepared and able to transmit all the magic of Etna. Me, my wife and our two daughters (10 and 12 years) were literally enchanted by this trek. After the casting the night before (18/04/2025), we weren't even sure that the tour could be done, and instead it was not only possible, but also exciting beyond all expectations. One of the most intense moments? Too many to write them all down. An experience that we will cherish forever.

Only for those who can afford it. - The excursion is definitely worth it, but the costs are really exaggerated, to climb to 3000, 2 adults and 2 children we spent 260 €. It was a bloodletting that we cannot repeat given the cost. We go every summer in Trentino, using chairlifts, cable cars and so on, so we have a certain knowledge of the costs and there is really no comparison. Moreover, the hike lasts very little, once you climb to the top there is no time to enjoy the landscape that you must immediately return to the starting point, there is just time to take two photos.
