5.00Beautiful hike and Santi, our guide, was nothing short of perfect! We were 3 families and 3 children, period June 2025. Our morning on Mount Etna (south/east side) began around 9 am, with pick up from Zafferana, walk in the lava caves and visit to the craters; with the children we reached an altitude of 2,100 m. The professionalism, kindness, competence of Santi has overwhelmed us and made our families live an unforgettable memory. Excursion suitable and accessible to everyone, conducted in total safety, an experience that I would recommend to anyone to live. Thank you, Santi. We will be back, hopefully soon!
A fantastic trip with an amazing guide

5.00What about it? Santi overwhelms you with his passion for "Idda" and involves you with simple explanations, like a true professional in the field. Attentive observer and connoisseur not only of this wonderful volcano, but of the whole territory. Never boring and obvious, it managed to keep intrigued all the time even our lively child! An excursion to do necessarily, the eyes and heart will thank for so much beauty! Thank you Saints!
