5.00What a wonderful excursion to Etna! Danilo was our guide for the day. His collection time in the morning was very prompt and was a very friendly and interesting man. His knowledge of Etna and Sicily was absolutely amazing. He is such a super intelligent man and the perfect guide. The tour of Etna was stunning. The views are breathtaking...literally with some of the crater hikes lol Afterwards we had an absolutely delicious lunch at the base camp restaurant where we also got to sample some of the locally grown wine. The service too was impeccable. Finally, we were taken to the beautiful town of Taormina. The buildings and views there are amazing. Overall, this was the most amazing trip we will always remember and certainly enhanced by Danilo’s amazing knowledge and enthusiasm. Its a must visit from us
Etna did not disappoint

5.00We throughly enjoy this all day adventure with our guide Giuseppe. He welcomed us warmly and watched out for us every step of the way especially hiking on Etna as we explored some lower craters. The small size of the group was perfect. We had to rent hiking boots for the snowy, uneven surfaces. Other highlights of the tour included visiting a lava cave, tastings of local honey, olive oil and wine, and time in the beautiful town of Taormina. It was a full day of fun and exploring!
All around Great experience

5.00Excellent experience. Our guide was incredible and spoke 3-4 languages. The weather was clear the day we went, so the views were amazing. Taormina is exceptional.
Amazing trip

4.00The tour was very nice and suggestive. The organization has been taken care of in every detail. The walk on Mount Etna was a really nice experience because it was all snowy and consequently we got involved with the news of the moment. At the end of the walk we stopped at the cabin. Tasting of oils, liqueurs, wines, jams and creams of the typical products of Etna. In the second part of the excursion we stopped in Taormina, a dynamic and very scenic Taormina. So we went from a snowy landscape to a sea with spring colors.
Enjoy the experience!!!

4.00The tour was very nice and well organized. The moments experienced during the tour were different and interesting. Lorenzo, our guide, was able to immediately empathize with the whole group, passing without any difficulty from the explanation in Italian to the one in English making everyone participate in the experience. He showed great professionalism and knowledge. We as tourists were satisfied and enriched.
Great tour with great guide!

5.00Lorenzo was great. Answered to all our questions, gave us a lot of nice tips about rhe island and even happened a tourist to find her kid's mobile that was lost in the middle of a snowstorm in Etna volcano area. I fully recomend a tour with him.
