Perfect hike to Etna with an excellent guide - This is a bucket list thing and Etna Hiker is the tour operator to go! The transport to the summit of the mountain by 4x4, the hike to and tour around two of the craters, all the information and stories our guide (Andrea) would tell us with him full of excitement and passion. The experience was perfect! 10/10, would highly recommend!

Great quality excursion! - We researched a few firms to go with and Etna Hikers ticked the boxes with being able to go from the quieter North side, and an interesting choice of excursion, with the Crater Summits Hike. Well organised, and super interesting. Luca was an excellent guide- so knowledgeable and I learnt loads about Etna and volcanic activity. The hike is very manageable, and running down the sandy slopes at the end was stupidly fun. It's been a highlight of our 11 days in Sicily. Thoroughly recommend. Great team and nothing was a problem with sorting out boots and jackets etc.

A wonderful experience - Unforgettable experience on Mount Etna with Etnahiker! We were lucky enough to be guided by Luca, a trained, passionate and engaging guide. With simplicity and competence he passed on all his knowledge about the volcano, making every step of the tour interesting and fascinating. Thanks to his professionalism and enthusiasm, the hike was not only beautiful, but exciting. If you really want to experience Etna, rely on Luca: you will not regret it! Thanks Luca!

Pleasant hike through curious place on Earth. - Pleasnt hike with amazing guide Arturo. His exitement was a part of the experience for us. We had also amazing weather which enhanced the hike. Due to recent volcanic event everything was covered with thin layer of rusty dust which gave some areas an impression of martian pictures.

Unique experience, highly recommend it - I highly recommend this trip, it was way above my expectations. The place has such great energy, so alive, so uncommon, so surprising. Our guide, Luca, is very knowledgeable and inspirational as he shared his passion for the volcanoes with us. What I really appreciated was that, even though Etna had very intense activity and we couldn’t use the regular route, Luca was flexible to propose us a different one, so that it is both safe and mind-blowingly beautiful. The dificulty of the itinerary was adapted to meet the group’s potential and phisical posibilities, Luca offering us great support allong the way.The landscapes seemed enhanced in Photoshop, breathtaking, the place is unbelievable beautiful. I can say it was one of the most incredible experience I ever had while traveling, will most definitely come back.
