Giovanni our driver was so helpful as we had to get back to our cruise ship at a certain time. He put on an exclusive car for us and gave us information about the area. When at Etna we had time to explore and get the cable car. Giovanni made sure we were back at the right time. The trip was great and we would definitely recommend Experience Catania.
Thanks to Giovanni's staff we had a magnificent experience on Mount Etna. In August 2025 with the whole family.
We asked Giovanni to help us to get to Etna with using his car. Giovanni is great driver with big knowledge about region. As father of 3 children I can recommend him.
We used Giovanni’s services to go up to the base camp of Etna South, everything was perfect! Minivan very punctual and friendly driver. We recommend!
