Santi is an excellent guide. Very friendly and he made a big effort to create a nice atmosphere between the eight people on the excursion. He is also a pretty safe driver from what I have witnessed from trips to Italy in the past. The trip takes you up to around 2,300 metres above sea level. I particularly enjoyed walking in a lava tunnel. The boots and helmet supplied on the trip were essential. I hit my head on the tunnel roof four times but thanks to the helmet I was fine every time. Seeing the lava trial on the volcano sides was also fascinating. There was also beautiful scenery and the sunset was nice. The price was reasonable for a trip of six and a half hours. I highly recommend this excursion.

I am truly grateful to Santi for making our Mount Etna tour an unforgettable experience for me and my mother. From start to finish, he was professional, warm, and caring, always ensuring we felt comfortable and enjoyed every moment. His communication was excellent, his guidance clear, and his passion for what he does made the tour extra special. I wanted this trip to be memorable for my mother, and Santi delivered beyond expectations. I cannot recommend him highly enough — he is simply the best!

Nice trip with a cute guide, perfect for those who do not want to get rid of the huge budget and who want something quieter. We were also described the biology around the different layers of nature in relation to height and explained about the origin of etna and how different natural phenomena arise around it and affect it. It was some really good prospects and it was delicious to be driven around to the different stops.

Beautiful experience on Etna! We spent a beautiful afternoon discovering Etna and we had the opportunity to observe fantastic places up close! The guide was really clear and precise. Beautiful sunset experience, even more beautiful because we had the chance to see some smoke from Etna!
