Wonderful snow-capped Etna and phenomenal guide! - The tour was beautiful and the view very impressive. Seeing Etna covered in snow is always a great emotion. During the walk our guide Giò was phenomenal - friendly and approachable right from the start, he gave us many explanations about the volcano, its origin, the fauna and flora of the place (along with many other Sicilian and volcanological anecdotes) . The very clear day even allowed us to see Stromboli and the coast of Calabria. At the end of the tour Giò also recommended us a great place to eat something typical before leaving for home. Serious and well organized group with email and whatsapp contacts for any eventuality/change. I hope to be able to return as soon as possible for the trek to the summit craters with them!
