Great overview of Mount Etna with a very knowledgeable tour guide - Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and took the time to describe the history of Mount Etna and surrounding areas. He explained very well how the volcanoes work and affect local people's lives. We were lucky to get to see lava flow from distance and our guide knew a good spot to enjoy that spectacular view while tasting nice local wines. The money spent on this tour was very much worth it and it exceeded all our expectations. We highly recommend this tour to see and experience Mama Etna!

Beautiful - Beautiful tour, our expert guides accompanied us and entertained us by teaching us many things about Etna. An exceptional team, a family atmosphere and an aperitif at the end of the excursion with typical biscuits and excellent liqueur. Special thanks to Piera!

excellent experience - The 4x4 excursion to Etna at sunset was simply spectacular. Volcanological guides have proved extremely friendly, friendly and always available to answer any questions, enriching the tour with curiosities and fascinating explanations about the history and activity of the volcano.
The off-road route was exciting, with breathtaking lava landscapes and panoramic views tinged with warm and intense colours as the sun went down. Moments of pure wonder, made even more special by the passion and professionalism of the team.
An experience that I recommend without hesitation to anyone who wants to discover Etna in all its beauty and magic.

What a magical moment! - A unique experience to discover Mount Etna, certainly expensive, but definitely worth it, because of the ease of travel in places difficult to access, the quality of the explanations of our guide, special mention to Oracio and the team who shared all their passion and knowledge with professionalism and humor and of course the magic moments that offered us this singular and truly beautiful volcano. It was amazing!

Great guide and tour but not great sunset. - Our guide was very knowledgeable about Etna and spoke good English. It was very hot, so we appreciated the airconditioned vehicle. The sunset over the volcano crater was a little anticlimactic. I wouldn't book the tour just for that.
