Please Do Not Miss Mt. Etna! - The trip was about five hours which was perfect for us. The tour guide was on time and started the tour promptly. Our first stop was a little place where we tasted some honey and wine. I did not expect this, but I was very happy about it. Then we stopped at an overlook where the guide explained many things about Mt. Etna. It was very informative and interesting. Then we went to our next stop and went into a lava tube/cavern. That was really awesome. I also didn’t know that was part of the tour, so again, pleasantly surprised. Our final stop was higher up as the sun set. We walked around and took some great photos. It was beautiful. This is the only tour my husband said he would do again. I highly recommend going to Mt. Etna; it shouldn’t be missed. Also, we had only eight people in our group, and they were all amazing! Our guide, Paulo, was professional, informative, and funny. I like him very much.

Magical Etna Sunset Tour - An unforgettable experience! The lunar landscape at sunset is simply stunning. Our guide Paolo was fantastic – passionate, full of personal stories, and made the volcano come alive. The tour was smooth, family-friendly, and well organized (transport included!).
Only tiny suggestion: a little glass during the tasting would’ve been the cherry on top 🍷😉
Highly recommended, especially in summer – the cool mountain air is a treat!

Wonderful hike - We had the pleasure of participating in this excursion in July. Right from the start, we were treated very well. They answered our questions promptly and helped us in many ways. We took part in the hike with two small girls, 3 and 5 years old. Activity suitable for everyone. You can get to 1,900 meters without making too much effort. We visited the caves, we saw beautiful views.
We did the tasting of local products. The Silvia guide is very prepared, kind and polite. A wonderful experience. We're so happy we made it. Highly recommended and definitely to the next trip to Sicily, we will rely on them again

Amazing and exceptional - Excellent moment of discovery of Etna in air-conditioned vehicle with Silvia, super guide who took care of us.
In addition to visiting exceptional corners from several high viewpoints but also visiting caves, we really got a guided tour from Catania exit to Mount Etna on history, culture, geology, fauna, flora and vulcanology.
Silvia is very pedagogical and knows the area perfectly, she was born here, it changes everything.
Excellent discovery , and unforgettable moments of strolling on the craters of Etna.
Go ahead with your eyes closed.

A picturesque tour of Etna with friendly and expert guides - Our guide Selia was great. It was a very interesting tour. We learned a lot about Etna. Particularly impressive are the caves and the expert explanations for them. The hike around the crater Silvestri was very nice. You could take great pictures. The tour is really worth it. Depending on the weather, you should bring warm jackets for the Etna, as it is cold in the evening. The sunset was fantastic. Absolutely worth it! Thanks Selia for the lovely time!

Good tour. Sylvia was very nice! - Sylvia, our guide, was very nice and personable. Recommendation is to bring warm clothes to wear when you get to a higher elevation. We were unaware, did not, and it was quite cold and windy (meanwhile it was 90°f+ back down in Catania). Fortunately, Sylvia had an extra pullover my wife was able to borrow from her. The cave was cool.
Couple of recommendations for the tour operator…(1) please add to your Viator listing or email you send out to customers recommending they bring warm clothes, and (2) maybe stop at one of the wineries Sylvia mention rather than that store. Could make for a fun experience.

Nice but... - I do not feel like giving a very high rating because for what I was offered I do not justify the price. We left with a slightly dated vehicle in which the air conditioning did not work (although among the things included it was clearly stated) and being August and having to make a nice trip in nine people this created a bit of discomfort. The tour was done almost entirely in English despite being six Italians, the guy who guided us was kind to ask me to interrupt it if I didn’t understand something, but I think he should still have done the explanation in Italian by himself without having to request it every time as it’s easy to lose some words not being my language and having paid for an Italian tour. Also I expected something more from the experience in general, maybe a walk instead we were just driven from side to side. However the craters are beautiful as well as the panorama and the lava flow cave. But at 60€ per person I think I wouldn't do it again.
