Great paths and views, best guides! - It was such a unique experience with stunning views and even greater information and stories told by our guide Massimo. He truly was the best! We had a great time and learned so much from him and his great love to mount etna and volcanic knowledge. Sadly touring the north and the summit was not possible because of high volcanic activity (legal restrictions). But the Ashara Team made a great alternative plan, so we didn’t miss anything! Would recommend to my friends as well.

Beautiful experience - Beautiful experience on the occasion of the excursion made to observe and admire the last lava flow of our beautiful Etna. The kind, attentive and professional guides, just beautiful people. Everything worked perfectly from the beginning to the end of the hike. Congratulations to all the staff.

Recommended for a unique and unforgettable experience - I chose Ashàra Etna and Stromboli Guides on the advice of a friend and it wasn’t just advice, it was a gift. Excursion with attention to detail, guides prepared, available and clear in providing all the information to make customers live an unforgettable experience, but in total safety. We had the guide Max, superlative... The groups are the maximum number allowed for each guide, in compliance with the current rules that this team wants to respect. Seriousness and competence, associated with sympathy... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Very unique and nice experience - The tour to the summit was absolutely incredible. You get to look deep into the craters and truly feel the power of the living volcano. It’s something you don’t easily forget! The guides were very kind, enthusiastic and full of interesting information. A special shout-out to Antonio who was our guide that day.

ON THE EDGE OF THE MOST EVOCATIVE SUMMIT CRATER OF ETNA!!! - I have made some excursions with guides from Ashara in recent years. The most recent to the North East crater from Piano Provenzana on July 4, 2025... every time it was a confirmation: professionalism, competence, sympathy and a passion that makes you love even more the inimitable places, wonderful but also difficult and restless, where it is mandatory to venture only with experienced professionals! Getting to the brink of the Northeast Crater was a dream I've been cradling for years! Giuseppe (it was a pleasure to see him again after a few years and listen to his geological hints) and Max (with whom I had already shared beautiful climbs) helped to fulfill it! To book and get all the info there is Mary, punctual, extremely available and precise! If you also have dreams, if you really want to experience Etna and Stromboli, do not hesitate to rely on their entire team!

Unforgettable and grandiose - Beautiful! Despite the eruptive activity of Mount Etna, we were able to approach 3000m and see quite closely the impressive pyroclastic explosions. Our Guide spoke French and adapted very well to the group. He gave us many details about history, geological formation, volcanic mechanisms. I fully recommend Ashara: they are super serious and have good equipment, moreover the upstream contact with Mary (booking manager) is very simple. Grazie thousand per tutti!

the force of nature - Challenging trekking but to do. Unique and beautiful experience. Very good and very prepared guides, especially Massimo always available and ready to handle every situation. A mix of culture and nature that remains within you and makes you more aware of how wonderful our territory is. At the end of the day very tired but satisfied to have visited one of the most extraordinary volcanoes in the world.
