Breathtaking experience and a magical place!
We enjoyed the excursion with our friends, and also enjoyed meeting some other travelers from Italy. Our guide Danila was knowledgeable, high energy, and also enjoyed sharing his experience with the surrounding communities. Sunset is the perfect time to visit Etna!
