Mount Etna Day Trip from Taormina

Great visit to the top of Etna.

Very nice tour to etna! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

They were very nice and we had good contact with them up against the trip - they also picked us up close to where we live. We booked the trip to 1800 meters and went a good route (the blue route). The guide was not with us out and tell, but it worked well and it was also not included. If you’re in Sicily, you should see the Etna! And this is a good trip there, but remember it's just driving

It is definitely chilly at the top. Trousers, jacket, and closed toe shoes are a must. It’s not so much cold as it was windy causing a chill. Lots of uneven surfaces with sloppy loss pebbles.

One of the best experiences ever. Our Guide was so enthusiastic and fun. You could tell he loved what he did. Recommend this to everyone but take the trip up to the crators. I will never forget this experience. We loved it.

I purchased the experience to include the cable car ride and the Jeep ride to the top of Mt Etna. Once on the bus, the tour Director never mentioned the cable car ride. When I inquired, she said the decision was made to go to the other side of Aetna and not include the cable ride. Since we purchased the cable car ride we were very much looking forward and were disappointed. I reached out to Viator and after two reviews, they feel satisfied that they took me up on the bus to meet the Jeep. I never received any notification that the cable car portion was not going to happen. So with Viator, you DON’T get what you pay for and you don’t get any kind of reimbursement when they remove portions of your tour without notification. The local tour representatives were very good. Book your tour directly with the operator.

Destination change from Etna South to Etna North right after the free cancellation has expired. Reason "long queues". The advert didn't match the reality which was just a travel with a bus with a guide telling stories and leading to a destination not that impressive. Just a parking really with no view, no caves as per the advert and no hot lava. Don't get me wrong, I would recommend visiting the place, but I would avoid paying this company all these money to bring you there. Better hire a car and travel on your own terms.

My wife and I went on this trip to Mount Etna from Taormina with friends and had a great day. The whole experience was really well organized, from the pickup to the return, and it made visiting Etna easy and stress-free. Going up the volcano and seeing the different landscapes and lava fields was genuinely impressive and something you really can’t appreciate fully without going in person. The guide was knowledgeable and did a good job explaining what we were seeing in a way that was interesting and easy to follow. The pace was comfortable, with enough time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the scenery without feeling rushed. Overall, this was a highlight of our time in Sicily and a great way to experience Mount Etna. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone staying in Taormina who wants to see the volcano up close.

This was a once in a lifetime experience that I would highly recommend to anyone! The tour company were amazing- they picked us up from a bus stop very near to our hotel and took us directly to Mount Etna and also dropped us off after too! We chose the cable car and jeep option which is a must, as you get to go very close to the summit of Mount Etna. It is worth it for the extra cost! Every second was absolutely breathtaking!

Good tour of etna with a very informative and helpful guide. We visited the top and used the cable car which was well organised and easy enough. Need to wear appropriate clothing, it was cold and very windy at the top. The ground is obviously steep and unstable so good footwear is also advisable. We wore long walking trousers, windbreaker jackets and walking boots and we were very glad we did. The only slight downside was that we hadn't understood or it hadn't been explained very well that once at the top you just have to go with any group together with a volcanologist to the top not necessarily your own tour group. This meant we waited around for a bit expecting her to point us in the right direction before realising that we would just have to follow other groups. We did miss some information from the volcanologist because by the time we had realised, we couldn't get close enough to hear what was being said! Overall, a very good experience!
