What To Expect
Etna Est
Start from your accommodation.
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.

5.00This 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!
A great experience

5.00In 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

3.00It was ok, but for my taste the guide was too busy trying to be funny and repeating the same jokes over and over again (for 5 hours!), instead letting us know in a normal tone what's going to happen next. it gets exhausting trying to listen and extract the actual information from what he said. in my opinion he should be more attentive and "read the room" to see what people are interested in, instead of giving us his standard show. content wise: you get driven to a viewpoint to see a big lava flow from a few years ago (10 minute stop, no need to bring the backpack), then a lava cave (45? min stop, no need to bring anything because helmet and torch are supplied), then you'll reach the tourist village on top (short lunch break for toilet and to eat your picknick, but plenty of food to buy there), then a 1.5 hours hike up to different craters and cold lava flows (actually also no need to bring your bag, if you can last 1.5 hours without water). all in all the program is probably pretty standard and was interesting, so I would recommend, the enjoyment probably depends on your taste and which guide you end up with
Perfect Etna

4.00This is a great introduction to Mt Etna but if you want more time exploring and hiking, choose a different tour. Our guide was excellent and really good at explaining the geology and the history of Mt Etna. I was hoping for a good two hours of crater walking but we barely had an hour.
First of all, the scenery...

2.00First of all, the scenery was amazing and Leonardo was very friendly. But we were disappointed with the amount of information provided. We signed up for an English tour but ended up with one italian woman with her daughter that occupied the vast majority of the time. Also, we assumed we would see the active volcano but we did not.
