Did the sunset tour. It was cloudy but you can’t control the weather! Even so it was incredible. Views like no other. Seeing the craters and lava flow and landscape is surreal and picture worthy. Lory was my guide and full of great information about the volcano and surrounding area. We also tasted some tasty local flavors and beverages and explored a lava cave. Bring sneakers or hiking shoes (they provide if you need them)and warm clothes, it’s cold up there! Well worth it! Must do even if it’s cloudy! Thank you Lory!

A relaxed tour that gave a good experience of Mt Etna. You don't go up the cable car or near to the peak, but you end up seeing and walking around the lower craters. Unfortunately, we missed out on the sunset due to bad luck with the weather in mid October. Though you can change the date with some notice if your vacation schedule is flexible, which ours was not; so check the weather! However we still enjoyed the crater with fog rolling in and out, completely clear to silent hill in seconds, it really added to the surreal scene of the lava rocks. Beforehand we had gone to a honey producer where we tried local produce including different types of honey and snacks. We also went down into a small lava cave which had formed from previous lava flows. Despite the weather, Angelo kept us in good spirits and was very informative of the history of the region and of the volcano. I was also very impressed at how he was able to easily accommodate the split language group of French and English (and let me practice my Italian).
Wonderful experience!

Our tour to Mt Etna was a fantastic experience with our friendly and knowledgeable guide, Carmello. It was a great way to see the mountain and enjoy some local tastings of wine and honey. Carmello provided a lot of information about volcanoes and lava caves, one of which we got to go inside. The tour included going inside a lava cave, tastings and walking around the mountain and some craters. Complimentary pick up was much appreciated. Thanks for a great experience. I would recommend this tour for anyone interested in going to Mt Etna.
Night trip Mt. Etna with guided tour in Lavagrotte and tasting of local products.

We were picked up at the hotel at the agreed time. We received thorough guidance in English and Italian all the way. The walk in the volcano council was informative and with appropriate length. The trip into the Lavagrotta was exciting and the samples a bonus. Stefano was a nice and knowledgeable guide.

We had a fantastic experience on this tour and got to witness a spectacular sunset from Mount Etna. The lava tunnel was an amazing experience as well. And the best part was the tour guide Tomaso who was very funny and knowledgeable and shared great insights.

Thank you so much for such an incredible tour. Claudio our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, welcoming and made the whole experience enjoyable. We stopped on route to Mount Etna to do wine tasting which included delicious snacks, and also tried some tasty honey and liquor. We then climbed Mount Etna where he explained in depth about the volcano and vegetation, explored a lava cave and watched the sunset. This was a tour for our one year wedding anniversary and it made it the most perfect day. Thank you again.
