エトナの朝の旅

EasyJet were easy and even immigration wasn’t too bad so getting there was great! Booked an uber from the airport to Catania and was rejected 4 times by drivers after having been accepted! Shame on you Uber! Seems like only normal taxis will go to the terminal. On arrival at Romano House hotel the staff were brilliant and our room was ready early 10/10. On exploring Catania it’s a paradox, an absolutely beautiful place with wonderful warm and welcoming people partly spoiled by huge amounts of graffiti EVERYWHERE! Such a shame. The history, the food, the drinks, the people WONDERFUL! The service EXCEPTIONAL! Special mention must go to Antonio the bar and breakfast manager at Romano House what a man what conversation what service from a true pro! Sommelier extraudinaire. “Welcome to our Bar” snacks and happy hour from 7-9 just wonderful. Seek out the small family run restaurants for great food at great prices and as always great service. Romano House also has access to their sister hotels lido and provides transport and free loungers and brolly which is worth its weight in gold. Also did a tour of some of the other historic towns in Sicily which were stunning and graffiti free! Beautiful. Sicily really delivered.

Excellent guide, Guiseppe Well organized

Unique experience. Etna Park is magical and deserves to be visited. Luca, our guide, was very knowledgeable; he picked us up at the meeting point and took us to all the planned stops, also explaining the route as we went. We are very satisfied!

An enjoyable tour with a very pleasant guide who was very knowledgeable and passionate about Etna. Overall, the tour is suitable for everyone. The hike is steep just in the first 4-5 mins. The pace is leisurely with lots of breaks. We enjoyed the lava cave and the view from the final stop was spectacular!

Our guide was very nice and friendly; we were picked up from the hotel on time and brought back. It was also very pleasant that the group was small (6 people); you could take your time, ask the guide questions, discuss, and it never felt rushed. Mount Etna and its surroundings are a natural wonder, definitely worth seeing. Overall, it was a very good experience.

The guide was amazing. He picked us up at front of our hotel. He spoke fluently Italian, Spanish and English. He was very passionate and knowledgeable about everything that we saw, including the craters, vegetation and rocks. He also gave great tips about visiting the city of catania, including an amazing local restaurant. The hiking was easy, and whenever there was a harder path, the guide helped everyone. We also visited a beautiful cave. We really recommend you bring comfortable shoes. The car was very comfortable with AC.

Super friendly guide who was truly passionate about it. Pick-up went smoothly.

This morning, our guide Giuseppe allowed us to discover the foothills of Mount Etna and its region. It was a great discovery with the family. I received all the information regarding the meeting via WhatsApp, and the meeting took place as planned, at the indicated location. We got into his car. Our guide was very professional, attentive to our pace, our safety, and our well-being throughout the tour. We learned many things about the formation of volcanoes, volcanic caves, as well as Sicily and its geological history. We also had the pleasure of tasting cantucci accompanied by Zibibbo, a lovely gourmet touch that enhanced this morning. We had an excellent time as a family and highly recommend this experience.

Absolutely wonderful! Mauricio met us at the designated location 15 minutes early, he was a friendly and knowledgeable guide taking us to many locations on Mount Etna. Would recommend!

Excellent & very informative. Picked up on time at meeting point. Tour guide was polite & friendly. Really enjoyed the tour.
