We're taking a lot of eyes. Wonderful - Very nice meeting place with tasting of products. Super nice guide and the tour is great. We were lucky to only be 3 people and the pace was perfect for us. Clear explanations/no too much or too little. Small aperitif at sunset. I recommend quality/price very correct.

Unforgettable Mount Etna Tour with Luca! - Our family had an unforgettable experience exploring Mount Etna with our fantastic guide and volcanologist, Luca. From start to finish, this tour was a perfect blend of adventure, education, and breathtaking scenery. We began our journey at the meeting point in Trecastagni, Montata Grande - AgricolTour & Gusteria dell’Etna, where we sampled a variety of delicious local foods. Then, we loaded up in Luca’s 4x4 to embark on the tour of Etna. Luca’s expertise and passion for volcanoes brought Mount Etna to life in ways we never imagined. We made several fascinating stops, including a lava bed from an eruption in the 1990s, where we witnessed firsthand the raw power of nature. We also explored a lava tube, learning about its formation and experiencing the eerie yet awe-inspiring underground landscape. The highlight of our tour was a sunset tour of the Silvestri Craters, formed during an 1892 eruption. We enjoyed Zibibbo (sweet Sicilian wine) and Biscotti Regina while watching the sun set over Etna. Beyond his deep knowledge, Luca was an engaging storyteller who made the experience truly immersive. His enthusiasm was infectious, and he patiently answered all of our questions, ensuring we left with a newfound appreciation for this mighty volcano. If you’re looking for an educational yet thrilling experience, this Mount Etna tour with Luca is an absolute must! Thank you, Luca, for making this adventure one we will always remember.

Very nice tour - Our Guido Angelo was very personable and competent, we were very pleased with him. There were 5 stops with great viewpoints. At the penultimate stop there was a toilet and the possibility to buy a snack, at the last stop the sunset was watched together with a Silician dessert wine. Overall, little had to be done, the tour is also good for children and the elderly.

A fantastic guide to a magical place - We booked a tour for 4 people and were lucky enough to find a fantastic guide: Desirée Moscow!! Not only extremely prepared, but excited to tell us about its places and its "living" mountains. The tour takes you to very beautiful places and for those who do not have much time or little desire to walk, it is fine! Thanks again to Desirée, a nature guide, able to make his guests passionate about these beautiful places.

Highly recommended tour! - I highly recommend this excursion. The trip to Etna was so beautiful and educational at the same time! Our guide was very engaging and had a wealth of information! The lava caves were so interesting (make sure to wear good shoes) and the views from the top were amazing. It was windy and cool so having the information to have a coat was very much appreciated.

4x4 Etna Tour with some offroading. - My wife and I where on honeymoon to Sicily and part of exploring the island meant that we had to visit Mount Etna. We booked this 4x4 Sunset tour. The meeting point is on the Vulcano with lovely views on a vineyard and they provided a taster of honey's, pesto's, oils, liquors it was a right treat to start our trip. We where met by our guide Cicio who took us in his 4x4 up the mountain. We visited several places and we absolutely loved Cicio he was such a good guide telling us all kinds of stories about vulcano's, the history of Etna and the lava flow that treathened Mr. Russo's house. Whilst also engaging in conversation about the history of the Greek's and showing interest in us. We had an amazing tour, seeing the "small fingers" of lava and to the "big arm" in Ox Valley. He took us in a lava tube and with some proper off roading we ended going up crater Silvestri where it honeslty feels like you are on a different planet. Overall Cicio was amazing and we had such a lovely tour together. We can highly recommend this and we had an amazing time.

Sunset tour - What a great afternoon. Thank you Alessio, whilst the weather did not play its part, Alessio explained Mt Etna with passion and enthusiasm. Loved his drawings. He adapted our afternoon to make it personal for us by visiting the nearby town of Nicolosi. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

An Excellent Aventure - We had a wonderful guide (don't remember his name) despite the less than good weather. Wet history of the mountain and how it affected and still affects Sicilian residents. Definitely recommend
