Beautiful tour in inclement weather

5.00Since the presentation we immediately noticed the enthusiasm that Piera (the guide who accompanied us) puts in her work and even with an inclement weather that reduced the beauty of the tour, Piera tried in every way to make us taste the beauty of Etna. It was still a very nice and interesting tour.

5.00What about our experience with E.E. Wanted and designed for our 7-year-olds, it did not disappoint expectations. Landscapes that you would not usually encounter on your way. Lava caves inside which to descend wearing helmet and torch. I wonder what their imaginations will give birth to. Entering a completely black "cave", not only for an obvious lack of light but for the type of raw material. Once we could have said children of Jules Verne today, alas, grandchildren of Bruce Wayne, complete with bat that blissfully slept during our passage. Landscape, only apparently desert all around, because this is the first impression these huge black boulders convey, as black is the mantle that covers everything, And then the guides Piera and Fabrizio who made us Ciceroni for the whole excursion Prepare well beyond what they should be, patient even with the allologists on duty. Piera, the one who accompanied us, thoughtful even with the children. The aspect that most exudes from their eyes is the passion for this "picciridda" that goes far beyond their mere work.

5.00We had a great time during this Mt Etna excursion. Luca was the best tour and kept the tour fun and engaging with his knowledge of the mountain. We had a lovely lunch after at their restaurant and all the employees were warm and friendly. Just note that there is a lot of walking and somewhat difficult climbs on this trip so be prepared.

4.00Booked tour with Go for Etna. Tour chosen for cruises as it was timed and we were picked up at the port. Short caves sightseeing and walking along the craters. Please be sure to bring warm clothes. Even if the weather is good, it can be stormy and cold upstairs.
Great tour to Etna
