5.00Take good shoes, something warm, and water. The tour was amazing. Our guides were very knowledgeable about the history and geology of Etna, and told us in an amusing and involving way (lots of food metaphors!). This activity was very much for me; we did the opera for y wife last week. But she said she enjoyed this far more than she expected to and would si it again. I have bad knees, and was a little concerned about the walking involved, but it turned out to be well within my abilities. It's a good half-day, ending up at a great location for a lunch and to sample some native Sicilian produce. I'd recommend it to anyone.

5.00We had an amazing tour of Mount Etna with our guide, Carmelo. He was incredibly informative, friendly, and knowledgeable. What we appreciated most was his patience and the way he took his time to explain everything in detail in English, Italian, and Spanish. Each stop along the way was fascinating, and his explanations made the experience even more special. I highly recommend Carmelo as a guide if you want a memorable and well-guided tour of Mount Etna!
Must-Do / Perfect Experience!
