- Mount Etna - Etna, in addition to being one of the most active volcanoes in the world, is certainly also one of the most fascinating. Inevitable it is the subject of numerous stories and curiosities. Its geographical position in the center of the Mediterranean Sea, with the sea just a short distance away, creates ideal conditions for developing an incredible diversity of landscapes. Anyone who imagines the volcano as a wasteland consisting only of bare and raw volcanic rock is wrong. The Etnean territory extends from sea level up to 3329 meters, an absolutely variable altitude based on the eruptive activities! This great altitudinal difference in a relatively small space has created a unique ecosystem, within which man for millennia has learned to live together in very particular conditions, always defining it with multiple names, among which A ‘prevails in the local meaning. Muntagna.

Awesome tour! - We had a tour with Antonio. Very knowledgeable, very nice guide! We learned a lot about the volcano and just had a great time. We spent twelve days on Sicily, but this day was the best by far!

Fun and fascinating experience - Marcello and Sebastiano are the perfect guides for a group looking to discover the charm of Etna but at the same time not have stressful times. Very prepared, clear and fun they were able to give the day the right approach to involve everyone and leave no one behind. Perfect lunch at Montata Grande between kindness, courtesy and exquisite products from honest prices. Serene, quiet and jovial environment. The organization was perfect and Grazia was able to react to every request even at the last moment. We traveled for work (award holiday but always in a work team) but I am sure that everyone as soon as they can repeat the experience in private

Wonderful! - We took a private Etna Grantour on 21 July 2022 with our guide, Antonio. We had an absolutely wonderful experience! With the Grantour you will do a trekking on the Etna, a jeep tour, a visit of a lava tunnel and have an excellent lunch with a selection of local products and (of course) very nice wines. Our guide Antonio was wonderful, very pleasant company and very knowledgeable about the Etna, it’s history and the local flora and fauna. Visiting Etna with a guide such as Antonio is really a must - you will see so much more that you will otherwise either miss or won’t realize is there. We can highly recommend!

The wonders of Etna - Beautiful hike. With our guide Antonio we saw three sides of the volcano in a single day, including trekking and jeep tours. And we also explored a beautiful lava cave. Wonderful paths, visited with care in every detail and with in-depth explanations from a naturalistic, geological and historical point of view. Lunch at Montata grande was a nice relaxing break together with all the staff with many typical local products and Sicilian delicacies of the highest level. The structure is lovely. And all are kinder and more smiling than the other. When passion, preparation, expertise and experience make a perfect day transmitting all the love they have for their land. To be recommended absolutely
