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.

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.

The tour was an absolutely amazing experience. From the informational tour of the villages to the exploration of the cave. As well as the very scenic hike to old craters from past eruptions. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and comedic making the tour very enjoyable.

This was a great experience. The tour guide picked us up from our hotel and was very knowledgeable. She shared so much interesting information about Mount Etna and Catania and even showed us videos from past eruptions. She also got us some local wine to taste, which was a nice surprise. The group was very fun and international. Mount Etna is breathtaking and incredibly beautiful. Highly recommended!

Excellent tour. The guide knew everything about the volcano and the region. Very friendly and on time. Duration and level of difficulty adequate for most physical preparedness and ages

In my opinion, this is a really good option for the low and cold season. Trips are even offered in winter (part of the route will be in the car, but it’s still better to take a hat, as the wind is strong at the top). All details (transfer and time) can be clarified in advance with the tour operator
