Along the trail that will take us up to 2000mt a.s.l., our guide will tell you about how the highest volcano in Europe was born, without leaving the aspects related to flora and fauna that characterize it. After admiring old and new lava flows we will proceed on foot to the inner part of old craters. The charming panorama and the picturesque scenery will give us the feeling of being on the moon. After a short break, the hike will continue with a visit, carrying helmet and torch, inside a lava cave to admire a unique spectacle.

This as a great tour of Etna! Our guide Amelia was very friendly and knowledgeable. The hike is steep and is a challenge.
Incredible experience. Daphne was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable and engaging. Our daughter teaches about volcanoes, and Daphne had many insights that will make her lessons on Mt Etna very special for her students. If you are booking it as an excursion from a cruise ship, the meeting place is about a 10-15 minute walk from the cruise port.
Daphne and our driver were first class. Knowledgable and helpful. They swerved easily to cope with a thunder and lightning storm. If I had known would have booked direct rather than viator and saved the euros to tip them with
Luca was AMAZING! We had a great time with him. He handled the kids that were in the other van with kindness. Even though they annoyed everyone but their parents.
I chose a guide who speaks French. However, we did not understand the French spoken by the guide. The activity indicates a duration of about 6 hours; however, the hike lasted a maximum of 1 hour and 30 minutes, so there was a lot of chatter. If you are used to hiking, this activity is not for you.
Pick-up at the hotel by our guide, throughout our trip he explained everything to us and it was a beautiful visit to Etna
The guide Daniele was nice and professional. The pick-up from the hotel was great. Program itself was a bit lame: Short walk near the Etna tourist centre, short walk in a lavatunnel and one stop at the wievingpoint where the land had collapsed during the eruption. Nice scenery, though. Actually, I feel I would have wanted something more about this trip: smoke and lavaflows. Well, maybe my expectations were too high. But the trip was allright for that price:)
Such a great experience! We loved it and would recommend it to everybody! Wear old shoes and some light jacket and you’re in for a great adventure. Bravo!
Friendly and knowledgeable guide. Very good value for money. Very convenient and good communication.
Daphne was knowledgeable and friendly. She interacted with everyone. The pace took account of everyone's walking ability. Would recommend
