Beschrijving
Tijdens de tour op 2920 meter geef ik je de mogelijkheid om te klimmen tot de maximaal bereikbare limiet op de Etna, we zullen altijd bij je zijn om je te vergezellen in deze prachtige landschappen. Op 2920 meter zie je voor je de hoogste en meest actieve krater van de Etna-vulkaan: de zuidoostelijke krater. Het is een sensatie om langs een diepe krater te lopen en stoom in de lucht te ruiken, we zullen de adem van de vulkaan voelen!!!!

Brilliant tour with an excellent guide, Gaetano. Everything went smoothly from making the booking , all communication and meeting Gaetano on the day. Fascinating insight into the history of Etna and its eruptions and relationship with Sicily. The cable car gave amazing views and, as its was snowy when we went, the caterpillar trucks were a great experience. The tours up to the craters are fascinating and on the descent to go in a lava tube, see some of the volcanic landscapes and to try some local produce just add to a fantastic day, well worth the price and highly recommended.
Ornella was a fantastic guide.. Not only did we have an amazing experience on the volcano - but we learned huge amounts about Sicily and Sicilian culture - and had lots of fun. Would wholeheartedly recommend
Wonderful day—guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend. However, a bit concerning Mt Etna erupted 2 days after we were there! 😳
Our guide, Daniela, was fantastic. She is very passionate about Etna and that came through. Very knowledgeable. Excellent English. Cable car was very exciting! Mount Etna itself is an amazing sight. Lots of photographic opportunities. Leisurely walk of about 30 mins. Highly recommended!

We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Mount Etna and that Daniela contributed to making your tour so special.

Warm regards, Aristide Tomasino Excursions Etna Catania
Simone picked us up from our agreed meeting point on time and we were later joined by another couple in the jeep. He was knowledgeable and spoke good English, explaining about Etna and the history. We needed to hire jackets as it was very cold once we had traveled in the cable car, to take a bus to a higher level. Unfortunately a combination of fog and wind meant we did not have a good view, but the weather is what it is!! The caves were an interesting experience with a useful explanation regarding how they came to be formed The wine and honey tasting was just in a local shop Fortunately because of our early start (7.30) we avoided a lot of the crowds Thank you Simone
Dear Hiker, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re delighted to hear that Simone provided you with a timely and informative tour, making the early start worthwhile. His passion for sharing Mount Etna’s history and natural wonders shines through in every excursion, and it’s wonderful to know you appreciated his efforts. We understand how unpredictable the weather on Mount Etna can be—it’s part of the adventure with such a dynamic landscape. Despite the fog and wind, it sounds like you made the most of your visit, from exploring the fascinating lava caves to learning about their unique formation. The wine and honey tasting, though in a local shop, still offers a delightful insight into the rich agricultural traditions of the Etna region. Starting early is indeed a great strategy, and we’re glad you were able to enjoy a more peaceful experience ahead of the crowds. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back for another visit in the future. Perhaps next time, the weather will reveal Mount Etna’s breathtaking views in all their glory! Warm regards, Aristide Tomasino Excursions Etna Catania
Great trip on top of Mt.Etna (2920 mt.). We were lucky to experience vulcano activity, like explosions and smoke. Our guide, Tomasso, was very nice and helpful, giving us a lot of information about the vulcano and about Catania.

Warm regards, Aristide Tomasino Excursions Etna Catania
Really enjoyed this trip, Simone was a really knowledgeable guide & gave us loads of information on the journey to Etna & as we went up the cable car. There were only 4 of us on this part which was really good. Once we had left the cable car the next part of the trip I'd in the 4x4 vehicles towards the summit, where other offical guides take over, this guide also gave us lots of information. A number of groups join together for this part of the excursion so less easy to hear what was being said. Fascinating tour & well worth it for the views. On the one we did there wasn't much walking at the top, which was what we wanted.
Dear Hiker, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your trip to Mount Etna and appreciated Simone’s guidance. His knowledge and enthusiasm make the journey not only informative but also engaging, and it’s wonderful that you felt well-informed throughout. The combination of the cable car ride and the ascent in 4x4 vehicles adds a thrilling dimension to the experience, especially as you approach the summit. While the larger group format at the higher altitude can sometimes make it harder to catch every detail, it’s fantastic to know that you still found the tour fascinating and the views breathtaking. We’re also glad the amount of walking suited your preferences, making the excursion all the more enjoyable. Your feedback is invaluable, and it’s great to know the balance of adventure and accessibility met your expectations. We hope to see you again for another unforgettable experience, perhaps exploring Etna’s lava caves or a tranquil morning trek through the Valle del Bove. Warm regards, Aristide Tomasino Excursions Etna Catania
It was an amazing day. Our guide was very cautios, polite and paid attention to our needs. The tour contained everything we imagined, the timing (start of the tour, arrivals to tour points) was perfect everywhere. The guide was fluent in English, biology, dangers in life (sharks, laba cobras 🤣🤣), he had excellent sense of humour and we had lots of fun. He was also enthusiastic of Etna and it has just enhances our joy and fun. Total worth every euros and cents. This tour maximizes the fun and entertainment of Etna.

Enjoyed the tour, and knowledgeable guide added to whole experience. Pretty straightforward, drive to 2000 meter where there is a whole tourism type set up with shops and parking. Get cable car to 2500 mtr and then 4WD bus to 2750mtr which is furthest you can go. Short walk to ox crator. Cave was a bit underwhelming but interesting to learn how they form and the extent to which they riddle the area. Visit for honey tasting was also good and bought some local fare. Points to note, need light jacket as temp drops the higher you go. No harm in taking a packed lunch. Can be cloudy/misty at 2750mtr so you may not really see much. If misty do keep every one in sight as can get lost.
