Incredible Mt. Etna Experience! - We had an incredible visit to Mt. Etna! Tommaso was our guide and he was amazing! He is local to the area and incredibly knowledgeable about the island and the volcano. He was very patient with our group too (we had four kids). I would highly suggest going with this company. Seeing Etna without hearing all the stories and expert information it’s not the same. We also got really lucky with the weather on our tour day, not one cloud in the sky! Because the sun was out, it was not as chilly at the top. Highly recommend getting the hiking shoes they provide! Volcanic trails are not easy to walk on, and don’t wear your nice white sneakers - it will turn grey! We made many memorable moments on this adventure! Thanks Tommaso!!

The stunning Mt Etna experience - Altogether a great trip. Good balance of experiencing Mt Etna with local culture. Tour leader was great and very knowledgeable. We did cable car and guide which i would recommend. The guide was also very informative and then a nice way to end the trip with food wine and local culture. Highly recommended

Great day trip! - Our family of four did this tour with Giuseppe as our guide. He was highly entertaining and gave lots of information about Etna and the surrounding area. We were pleasantly surprised at how good the tasting was. We thought it was a great value for the money. We did pay the extra 80 euro each to take the gondola and 4x4 tour. Highly recommend!

Great tour guide - Our tour guide Francesco is amazing. He's knowledgeable with a good passion about Sicily and Mount Etna. He worked in San Francisco before and we had a good chat since we're also from that area.

Great experience - Superb excursion alongside Florence, our guide, who allowed us to have a fantastic day in the Etna region. Strong points : - Florence comes to pick us up and takes us back to our accommodation; - She gives us many explanations on the road and throughout the trek; - Day at a pleasant pace, which gives us time to appreciate the breathtaking landscapes and enjoy the present moment.

Good, but there are additional cost - Are absolutely amazing. Disappointed that in order to really get to see anything you have to pay additional and ride have additional transportation further up. What's your paying for is transportation to the lowest level, and a small food tasting which consisted of oils, jam, honey and a couple samples of wine. The day we were there it was extremely windy. Make sure you have proper shoes and a jacket if you want to walk around the area. The cave portion is not spelunking, you literally step in a cave and back out you go.
