5.0The guide ,Tony, was the secret sauce. His pride and knowledge of Etna both in history and delivery of information was superb. The day was perfect with no wind and fresh snowfall. Do not miss out on the event.
Excellent half day trip

5.0We really enjoyed this trip, the guide claudio was very knowledgable and passionate about the area. This is a good option for those not wanting to do a difficult walk, you do see a lot at approx. 1800m and the company provide you with everything you need. Lunch was also very nice and in a lovely little restaurant .
Well worth the trip. Made new friends.

5.0Great tour guide, Ugo, who spoke perfect English and had a wide range of expertise including geology, local history and interesting facts about the area. There were two small children in our group and he did an excellent job in making sure they understood what to do - and what not to do.
The whole experience was...
