Great tour! Interesting and we did a variety of things, which made it fun. It was just a few of us on the tour, which was nice! And it felt like we were the only ones on the mountain for the first part. Great views!
Nice experience, the guide Gaetano friendly and competent. Too bad you can not climb higher with the jeep or visit more caves
Grazie per aver condiviso la vostra recensione. È bello sapere che Gaetano, la guida, è stato cordiale e competente. Comprendo il dispiacere per il fatto che non sia stato possibile salire più in alto con la jeep o visitare più grotte; spesso queste limitazioni sono dovute a questioni di sicurezza (L' Etna è in piena attivitò)
The tour was very good to make a first approach to Etna. The guide, Gaetano, a great professional. It was great fun and offered us a different and unforgettable experience. To repeat, with explosions and lava.

Our Trip was amazing 🥳 Orazio was so well informed. He told us everything about the volcano and even more. I can only recommend this Tour to everyone!
Satisfied customer, goal achieved Thank you for sharing your experience with us
We were there for the Etna major eruption June 2. It was amazing! Our guide Rui did a wonderful job and was very informative and helpful. We got to go to a fairly high elevation via a large jeep. There was already a routine eruption happening that morning, but in the middle of our excursion, Etna decided to surprise us with a much larger eruption. Our guide was helpful in getting us to safety and we also managed to take the tour of the Etna tastings, but had to skip the lava tubes for safety reasons which was understandable. Overall, a thrilling and once in a lifetime experience!
Thank you for sharing your experience, we are used to the spectacle that our volcano Etna offers us. For us the safety of the customer and our guides comes first
Very good excursion and excellent guide. We went in a six-person vehicle and took turns because the back seats were very uncomfortable and in bad shape. We hired the tour with lunch and ate very well. Highly recommended. I would only ask the company to use a more comfortable vehicle or, at the very least, to repair the last seats.
Gracias por compartir su experiencia con nosotros. Fue un placer tenerlo como nuestro invitado.

My boyfriend and I participated in this magnificent adventure, full of emotions, history, nature and adrenaline. The experience is wonderful but the Team that we had been assigned even more. A group of very prepared guys, ready to answer any curiosity and question. They are INCREDIBLE, able to transmit to you so much of this wonderful land. The experience lasted about 6 hours, they accompany you to discover wonderful places, with a wine tasting, Oils, olives and honey to make your taste buds explode. The day is divided into several stages but the most beautiful is when you reach 2000 meters, from there you can enjoy a show and a breathtaking view. So we literally fell in love with it. I want to sincerely THANK the team, Composed by Alessio, Fabio , Raji!!!! You guys were great, you made us feel at home❤️. It is difficult to find Guides like you!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
