Discovering Idda, Mount Etna - Beautiful experience with a friendly and competent guide. Gaetano showed us and told us with passion the wonders of our volcano Etna.
The Valle del Bove, the Grotta Cassone, the Silvestri Craters have been told and rediscovered with enthusiasm in a very pleasant excursion at sunset.
Congratulations for the Service offered, very good Gaetano!

At sunset on Etna - Great experience! I had already been to Mount Etna a few years ago, but I must say that this excursion really left me speechless. The care, attention, passion of Guide Alberto have captured us and amused us a lot!
Very good Alberto, thank you for helping to bring a bit of Sicily home with us!

Very beautiful discovery of Etna - It was a very nice discovery. We really enjoyed spending this moment of discovery with our great guide Simone. Everything was very interesting: the tasting of typical products, the visit to the volcanic cave and of course the ride on Etna. Simone is a very good guide, very professional but also friendly. We recommend this excursion.

Fun and informative tour of a natural wonder! - The tour was fun, informative and very professionally organised. We had a really knowledgeable and engaging tour guide- Simone. We saw the Vallei del Bove, explored a lava cave, and hiked up the Silvestri craters. Also had time to stop off for a brief wine tasting! I would be happy to recommend this tour to anyone keen on discovering Etna. Grazie Simone!

The best tour ever! - We took this tour as a family of 4 and we enjoyed it very much! The stops are well planned, we saw a bit of the Etna, the lava caves as well as parts of the towns nearby. Our guide Zelia was the best and we learned a lot about the people and the nature of the Etna. We did not exacly experience the sunset part of the tour, because it was a very foggy day, but we still got to see some very nice views. Highly recomend this tour!

Unforgettable experience! - Unique, unforgettable experience, made perfect by the expertise of the guide Aristide. Excursion made with my husband and my 10 year old son who was enraptured by Aristide's explanations. Well done, well done, well done! People who do their job with an overwhelming passion! 10 and praise
