Incredible!

My guide was incredible. So patient kind and thoughtful. So knowledgeable and helpful to make our experience the best possible. As we were coming back down the trail, we saw Mount Etna erupt, which was a bonus!

A warm volcano!

The tour with Florence was a pure pleasure: Florence shared her passion, her knowledge of the region's history and Mount Etna, her generosity, and above all her sense of empathy with us. She knew how to listen to each member of a group of 8 people from 3 different backgrounds: she goes at everyone's pace, gives a hand to those who need it, and allows the more adventurous to taste the pleasure of a themed hike! Thank you Florence.

Stunning views

We had a wonderful time. It was stunning up Etna and we got to see incredible views, taste delicious local products and cool down in a cave! The only thing I was less of a fan of was the fact we booked an English tour but I think both English and Italian tours were combined so our guide had to keep switching and because there were fewer English speakers it sometimes felt a bit biased? But our guide did a fab job of keeping everyone engaged and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Also the bus’s aircon isn’t the strongest, so I would suggest a fan if you get particularly hot.

Expectations met above and beyond! Peppe was the best!

Peppe (Giuseppe Barbagallo) was absolutely amazing from beginning to end! He was professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about Mount Etna. The wine tasting was wonderful, and his recommendation to add the quad tour was one of the highlights of our entire trip—we had zero regrets! Salvo and Federico delivered an amazing Quad experience truly unforgettable and safe! After the quad tour, Peppe went above and beyond by taking us to La Grotta dei Tre Livelli, an unexpected bonus that made the experience even more unforgettable. He never rushed us and truly cared about making sure we had the best possible experience. This was one of the most memorable experiences of our lives, and Peppe made it even more special. I highly recommend this tour—and if you’re lucky enough to have Peppe as your guide, you’re in for an incredible experience! Peppe was absolutely fantastic from beginning to end! He was professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly passionate about Mount Etna. The wine tasting was wonderful, and his recommendation to add the quad tour was one of the best moments of the entire trip: we had absolutely no regrets! For the quad excursion, Salvo and Federico gave it their all; a spectacular and safe landscape and experience! After the quad tour, Peppe went well beyond our expectations, even taking us to the Grotta dei Tre Livelli, a beautiful surprise that made the experience even more unforgettable. He never rushed us and was truly committed to ensuring we had the best experience possible. It was one of the most memorable experiences of our lives, and Peppe made it even more special. I highly recommend this tour and, if you are lucky enough to have Peppe as a guide, a truly incredible experience awaits you!

Incredible and unparalleled experience! Super complete

It has been an incredible experience. Lory the guide was always super attentive and explained all the details of the volcano to us, as well as its connection to Catania, the culture, and even the gastronomy. It is very nice to see someone so in love with what she does and tells because she transmits that energy to those who listen to her!! 100% recommended
