“Etna tour with colleagues - I took part in an organized tour on top of Etna with a nice group of work colleagues from all over the world. You arrive by bus at 2000 meters to the Sapienza Refuge and then continue either by cable car or with off-road Jeeps, a forced option in this case since the cable car was under maintenance. The tour offered beautiful views also thanks to the perfect clear weather, but objectively the jeep tour is very uncomfortable, much better the cable car if it had been available.” - Reviewed on 2024-12-20

“Amazing!! - Amazing trip! Our tour guide, Angelo, was extremely charismatic, great and knew lots about Mount Etna and was very friendly. We visited a cave, the lower mountain peaks and were taken to a honey farm in a nearby town for tasting. At Mount Etna you have the opportunity to take the cable car to go higher, however our group chose to stay and were taken on a hike by Angelo, who was more than happy to take photos and give information throughout. Well worth the money for the transfer alone!” - Reviewed on 2024-11-17
