Fantastic experience, Alfio, our tour guide, super knowledgeable and helpful, tour recommended
We booked an English guide and were pleasantly surprised that Salvatore and also Massimo speak perfect German. The buses were super punctual at the agreed-upon meeting point. It is an experience to see the cooled lava flow and to climb one of the many craters of Mount Etna, to experience the grotto that one would not expect. Lunch was a pleasant break. The pasta was homemade. A very special experience awaited us with the Alcantara Gorge. The rock formations are unique and the ice-cold, max. knee-high water is a wonderful way to cool off. The tour is perfectly organized. I recommend it to everyone.
We had an excellent day with our two children aged 8 and 6 (boy and girl). We loved it! Really, the guides Luca and Vincenzo are adorable people! Superb guides! We were staying in Noto and had a 1 hour 20 minute drive, which could make us quite irritable. And yet… the day was so magnificent that we were simply happy! The quality of the contact and organization of the guides, who never left me for a day in confusion or worry before arriving at the meeting point, was more than appreciable. I highly recommend it and I wish them all the good they deserve.
Excellent organization and friendly staff. We traveled with Jacqueline and Alfio and they were very friendly and knowledgeable.
We had a fantastic experience on this tour. We went at the beginning of August, so it was very hot, but overall the hiking and cave exploration were manageable and well worth the effort. The perfect ending was cooling our feet in the icy waters of the Alcantara River after the hike. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable with clear and engaging explanations throughout the tour. The food was also great! We highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting the area!
This trip was well worth it for our family of four. The day broke up our weeks vacation of beach, shopping, and eating, and allowed us to soak up culture, history, and excursion. The hike to see the crater on Etna was more like a difficult walk than a hike. The views were great as you can clearly see the closest active crater on Etna. The lunch was very good, pasta, cappuccino, and gelato. The Gorge we were unprepared for unfortunately. If we were to do this again, we would 100% bring water shoes as the river is all rocks. The river is also very cold. But refreshing in summer heat. The guides were all friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. Many of them were family members so it was great. Very good way to spend a day in Sicily and see many sites all at a once. It’s along day, you will be tired at the end. Great trip!
The pick up point was clear, the stops were really interesting and Mario was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. We went with our 2 year old and 5 year old and Mario accommodated so well for them. The lunch was yummy and the views were fantastic, including the gorge (although water shoes are advised as very uncomfortable with bear feet). We had such a great trip.
We had an excellent day on this excursion to Mount Etna and the Alcantara Gorges! We had initially wanted to book via TripAdvisor, but there were no spots left available. We therefore contacted the provider directly, who was extremely professional and did everything to add us to the group. A big thank you to them for their responsiveness and kindness! Our guide, Mario, was wonderful. He is passionate about his job and his explanations were always very interesting. We are French and our English is not perfect, but Mario always took the time to check that we had understood well. When a word escaped us, he did not hesitate to show it to us on his phone or to rephrase. We really felt included throughout the visit. The hike on Mount Etna was magnificent. We discovered the impressive volcanic landscapes and ancient lava flows, a truly unique setting. Then, we took a break at a restaurant where we had our breakfast (at our own expense), then we returned there for the lunch included in the excursion. We tasted pasta with ragu as well as a local pasta specialty. The Alcantara Gorges were also a real favorite. The landscape is superb! The water is very cold, but that is part of the experience and it is really worth the detour. The day went by at an incredible speed because we enjoyed every moment so much. We recommend this excursion 100%, and especially with Mario as a guide! Signed: Mathilde & Mathieu
Great experience with so much to see. Amazing day with a great guide. Brought our toddler with us and she had a good time. Clean van.
Was a wonderful experience, being inside one the lava tube was the best part. The gorges is definitely worthy, and it works so well after a very hot hiking!! Very refreshing! Mario, was an excellent guide, he took us through the volcano explaining every detail from the pick up point, very knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. Would highly recommend.
