Ganztägiges Ätna-Erlebnis ab Siracusa

Our day hiking Mt. Etna with Giuseppe was one of those experiences that makes you really happy you had the right guide. From the moment he picked us up at our hotel, he was warm, welcoming, and incredibly hospitable. He has an easygoing nature that made everyone feel comfortable right away, and by the time we reached Mt. Etna, it already felt like we were spending the day with a local friend who happened to know an incredible amount about the mountain. Our hike was around 6 km with about 250 meters of elevation gain, reaching roughly 2,000 meters. Giuseppe kept a great pace for our small group of four, with plenty of breaks along the way. I really appreciated that. There was never any pressure to hurry—we had time to catch our breath, look around, take photos, ask question, and actually soak in where we were. And Giuseppe knows Mt. Etna. He shared so much with us about the volcano, the landscape, plants, birds, and the surrounding area, pointing things out along the trail that we never would have noticed on our own. His knowledge is impressive, but what stood out even more was how naturally he shared it. You can tell this isn’t just a job for him—he has a real connection to Mt. Etna and loves introducing people to it. Giuseppe also really knows his food. We came for a Mt. Etna hike and somehow left with a Sicily dining itinerary, too. We’ve already dined at several of his recommendations since our hike—and they’re all spot on! The whole experience felt relaxed, personal, and genuine. Giuseppe took great care of us and made an already incredible place that much more memorable. If you’re thinking about hiking Mt. Etna, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him. Easily the highlight of our time in Sicily! We’ll definitely reach out to him again next time we’re here for one of his food tours!

Giuseppe was an excellent guide for our family’s first trip to Mount Etna. He was full of fascinating information about the history of the volcano and the plant and animal life to which it is home; and we very much enjoyed the breathtaking views afforded by the walking trail we followed with him. All in all it was a very memorable day and we would highly recommend the trip!

This is was a highlight of our family vacation to Sicily! Giuseppe is a great tour guide and we learned a lot about not only Mt. Etna but the history and culture of the surrounding regions. The nice part about this tour is that it's all managed by the operator so he came to get us at our hotel and dropped us back afterwards. We did not have to deal with a third party to get there or a separate driver. I would highly recommend this tour, especially if you are in the Siracusa area since it is a bit farther than other locations from Mt. Etna.

Giuseppe is the absolute best tour guide. He is so knowledgeable, fun, engaging and gives you a one of a kind experience. We had such a great time we booked another tour with him for a few days later. I highly recommend having Giuseppe elevate your experience in the Siracusa region!

Amazing experience! Giuseppe was incredibly knowledgeable and guided us on a fantastic hike on Mount Etna. His insights and passion for the area made the experience even more memorable and enjoyable.

Giuseppe’s incredibly knowledgeable and delightful to chat with. He was patient as I traversed snow fields in May!!! And as we battled 50 mph winds. I would book with Giuseppe again 100%

We had a lovely experience on the Etna with Guiseppe, he was personable and knowledgeable guide that had a lot to share on everything nature, culture, history and geology. This helped me to better understand this special landscape. Guiseppe is clearly passionate about sharing his love for Sicily and all she has to offer and going on a tour with him is a tailored experience and Guiseppe ensures you are well cared for. I would recommend him and when I come back I will gladly seek him out once more :)

Big thank at Giuseppe the visit With the explanations were perfect

Giuseppe was knowledgeable, interesting and paced the hike to our group. His enthusiasm and passion for the history, nature architecture and geology of Scicily was a joy to listen to.

Giuseppe was a fantastic guide who told us numerous facts about Etna during our hike. He was thoughtful and considerate too accommodating the hike for my wife as well who needed to go a little slower On the ride back we were telling him the reason we came to Siciliy was to explore the area where my family came from and he started calling friends to see if we were related. We think we may have found some long lost relatives now. It really made the experience memorable and something we will never forget.
