Stunning scenery

Stunning scenery, a very memorable and exhilarating experience. Shame that the weather closed in and we couldn’t reach the top of the crater. However the guide was always professional and safe with a peppering of humour even when conditions became tough. Fantastic hike.

We had booked a full day tour leaving…

We had booked a full day tour leaving from our hotel in Taormina and they put the wrong address in the reservation so we missed the tour. Since we were not familiar with the area when I saw my hotel name I didn’t look closely to see 3 lines down it said Catania and not Taormina. No refund or compensation of any kind offered. I am a travel agent and have booked tours through many companies including Get your guide and Viator and have never had this happen before.

Mount Etna trip

Matteo and Sergei collected us on time. They were very pleasant and informative and we had a great time exploring mount etna, going down caves and tasting local produce. Highly recommended.

Great informative Mount Etna experience

We had an amazing day on this Mount Etna tour. Pick-up was prompt and the small air-conditioned vehicle was actually better than the advertised 4x4 for the heat. Our guide Marco was excellent — friendly, knowledgeable and happy to answer questions.

The lava caves were fun (though involve steep steps), and the hike to the viewpoint was challenging for some but absolutely worth it for the stunning views when the weather’s clear. Lunch in a lovely forest cabin was good value, but we were seated away from other English speakers which felt a bit isolating. We also had to swap buses with a Dutch-speaking group for the return journey, which added to that feeling.

The final stop at Alcantara Gorge was great to see, but be prepared for lots of steps unless you pay extra for the lift.

Overall, a long but rewarding day out — we’d definitely recommend it if you’re up for some walking and adventure!

A great day

Well, we were unable to see the craters at top due to inclement weather. Our guides made the experience still very interesting and worth going. Their knowledge of the volcano was fantastic. We were served a meal for lunch, which was delicious and we had ample time to take in all sights. Bring a warm jacket.

brilliant trip

We had a brilliant half-day trip. The tour guides were knowledgeable, friendly and considerate, and we learned so much! Our group comprised a range of ages and all were accommodated thoughtfully. A riveting "lava tube" visit, spectacular views on a beautiful clear day and all our questions answered. Marco, Alberto and Massimo were a pleasure to meet.
Highly recommend

Great experience

Our visit to Mount Etna was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. Matteo, our guide, was passionate and knowledgeable, and he gave us wonderful insight into the local culture. Many thanks to Fortunato for driving us up there. If you’re visiting Sicily, don’t miss this experience!
