Spectacular and beautiful experience.

Dario charmingly and competently showed us another world! The tour over lava and snowfalls, with its many detailed explanations, thrilled us, and we will remember it for a long time. Thank you very much, Dario!

Experience to do!

It was me and my husband joining this trek at the last minute and from the end of the cable car we climbed up to 3000 meters on foot with Dario. It was a beautiful hike, tiring - at least for me who am not particularly trained - but very beautiful. Dario, very prepared, told us all about the volcano, without leaving anyone behind with patience and kindness. I recommend it!

Amazing experience and great tour guide!

Great tour guide and an excellent experience overall. We felt safe throughout the entire hike and really enjoyed learning more about the history of Mount Etna. Our guide also captured some fantastic drone footage, which was a great bonus to have after the hike. As there were only two of us, we were able to take a longer-than-usual route, which made the experience even more special. Can definitely recommend!

Experience impressive mountain with the best guides

Our guides were just great. Very sympathetic, service-oriented and made everything possible. We had a really nice experience on Etna - this was topped by a drone video that the two brothers made and sent us at the end. Very strong!

Wonderful experience with helpful and attentive guides

Really great experience with Etna Blaze Excursion. The guides are friendly, kind and super helpful guys, able to put everyone at ease right away. They patiently answered any doubts, even those of those who are less experienced, without ever making anything weigh. The way they relate to children and people a little older with age is also beautiful: always attentive, caring and professional. You can see they do this job with real passion. Highly recommended.

Must do experience!

I had such a great experience with Etna Blaze excursion, both Gianni and Dario were super great at communication everything in advance. Dario was punctual, knowledgeable, safety oriented, answer all my questions and we had a such a great conversation during the climb. Felt indeed like doing it with a friend. He made sure I felt good, he took many photos and videos me, and had a great attitude and energy during every second. Highly recommend them!!
