Etna sunset jeep tour - Our driver picked us up in his Pajero SUV. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We had multiple opportunities to take great pictures. Enjoyed seeing the volcano cave. Clouds moving in provided ominous photos over the craters. Beautiful wildflowers in bloom for our visit.

Unforgettable expirience: good for teenies and adoults - Amazing guides provided us with all the profound information about Etna and the region. Unforgettable hiking on top of some of the dormant volcanos. The wine and honey testig was great - I never thought, that honey could be made in so many combinations with fruits and herbs. All local products with the flavor of Etna.

Aetna Tour - Our guide, Giovanni, was excellent...the trip was much fun and informative....don't ever try this without using a guide and this tour worked best for us....price , time and it came recommended from a couple we had met 48 hours before who had done this tour the day before. One complaint...the meeting point is a bit hard to find and confusing....don't ask anyone in the Rent Catania office anything...they're world class jerks!

A really nice trip to round off our visit! - The guides were very welcoming and really made us laugh. They were also very knowledgeable and passionate about the volcano and explained the science behind each site in a way that made it very interesting to everyone in the group. The views were amazing!

Fun and interesting Tour - Our guide, Orachio (spelling?) was amazing. He was very informative and showed us many interesting and historical places. This was a well rounded tour consisting of lava flows, wine & honey tasting, Lava tunnels and craters. I highly recommend!

scam of a tour - Numerous issues marred our experience. Despite advertising a "jeep tour," the driver arrived in an unsuitable, aging car, unsuited for mountain terrain. Contrary to the excursion details, he declined to provide the promised pickup and drop-off, forcing us to trek 40 minutes to the designated meeting point. Adding to our dismay, he readily picked up other passengers. Throughout the tour, communication was strained; he predominantly spoke Italian, sparing only brief, sarcastic explanations in English. Neglecting his duty, he failed to delve into the volcano's geography, geology, or biology, as outlined in the excursion description. Furthermore, we missed out on a lava cave exploration, and safety essentials like lights and helmets were not provided. This entire experience felt deceptive and should be rectified to prevent others from falling victim to such a scam, leaving me both time-wasted and disheartened.
