Mount Etna
Along the trail that will take us up to 2000mt a.s.l., our guide will tell you about how the highest volcano in Europe was born, without leaving the aspects related to flora and fauna that characterize it. After admiring old and new lava flows we will proceed on foot to the inner part of old craters. The charming panorama and the picturesque scenery will give us the feeling of being on the moon. After a short break, the hike will continue with a visit, carrying helmet and torch, inside a lava cave to admire a unique spectacle. Walking through a luxuriant vegetation, we will finally admire the spectacular Valle del Bove.

Positive experience and super recommended. We were a group of friends of 4 people and Elia (our guide) was very helpful, professional and explained many curiosities about the volcano Etna. It all ended with a wine tasting in the cellar and lunch.

We did not go to the top (what was not agreed anyway) however due to the weather condition we could see only one crater as we got stuck in the snow. Nonetheless the tour guide is very nice and competent and looked for alternative solution.

THE TOUR was perfect- excellent Mrs. blonde who was our guide, assistant, bus driver- punctuality and German precision with Italian sympathy- unique but : I hoped to see ETNA erupting even if not close up . I arrived in Catania in these days precisely as a function of the volcanic activity illustrated everywhere even on TV - shame !

The tour was exactly as promised. The view of the lava field, the lava cave and the walk up to the little crater. It was all very interesting and our guide was excellent.

We went on the short tour to Mt Etna. It was all we had time for but it was great. There was a short hike into a lava cave and then a longer hike up around some of the craters. Daniel was a wonderful guide and very accommodating.
