Our guide Luca was very knowledgeable guide and gave us a lot of useful information about volcanos and the history of Mount Etna. There were no other people on the tour and it therefore felt like a private tour. This meant that Luca was able to adapt the tour somewhat to accommodate my mobility problems. Really went offroad to reach areas other tours may not.
Beautiful excursion and well organized in every detail. The guide Luca was super kind and very knowledgeable. Quality tasting, varied and abundant. Highly recommended!
Excellent organization and a Unique Experience suitable for children. The guide was very well-prepared. We recommend it!!!
We did the 4x4 tour; it was a fantastic experience for both us adults and the children. Thanks to Alessio (the guide) for his professionalism and friendliness. We spent a morning full of adventure. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Unique experience thanks to Carmelo. We never would have thought it would be this beautiful. Explanation given with passion. Highly recommended.
We spent an excellent morning in the company of Catherine, our French guide. Detailed and very clear explanations. Outing adapted to our group. We recommend it
Merci beacup!
Great tour with Luca. Helpful to be picked up from cruise port. Got to hike on the volcano and go in the lava tubes (didnt get to get close to active lava on this tour though)
Did an Etna guided tour with small walk, visited a cave and then relaxed at the family farm for lunch. Luca our guide was great - very knowledgeable with interesting stories and was even a crack photographer! Great day had by all of us in an amazing part of Italy.
Alessio was our excellent guide on our tour. His passion for the area, history & nature points of interest really shone through. He happily answered questions (esp from my 8yr old) . The four ‘parts’ of the tour are really well designed & a fantastic experience was had by the whole family.
Fabulous tour with a very experienced and friendly guide. Thanks again for recommending this splendid introductory tour of Etna and to Fabrizio, our guide. ❤️
