Unfortunately my tour didn’t go ahead, we had to turn back in the middle of the way because of the snow. While I know they can’t control the weather and that’s completely not their fault, the agency could’ve warned us that the day before, they had to cancel because of the weather conditions and there was a possibility of it happening again. From there, I could’ve rescheduled. However, I spent with trains from Palermo, accommodation, and winter clothes just for this tour. If I knew there was a slight chance of it being cancelled, I would’ve gone another day, but now I can’t afford it. So it’s very frustrating to say the least.
On the bright side, the tour guide, I think his name was Joseph, did try his best to go ahead and was very friendly and nice. He spoke in English, Italian, and French to make all of us understand him on the way to Etna, telling us cool information about the volcano and Catania. When we had to stop, he did seem sad too.
And also thank you for the agency for returning my money fast.

Mt. Etna, amazing tour and opportunity

I would highly recommend this tour.
Our guide spoke perfect English and was highly knowledgeable about the area. He’s a local and the town he lives in is at the base of the volcano.
My husband, 15 year old daughter, and I really enjoyed visiting the volcano & especially going into the lava tubes. We went in November & it was FREEZING, raining, and snowing on the top of the volcano so make sure you bring a water proof jacket when you go. The guide said it’s typical that it rains in that area.
Our guide gave us some homemade snacks and some wine when we took a little break at the base of one of the craters. We went during “off” season so the ski lift to the top and some of the small shops weren’t open but we were still able to go to a little restaurant and eat once the tour ended.
Very thankful for the experience!
Note: this tour is not handicap friendly

When we signed up is was with an English speaking guide. The guide only spoke about 10 English words. He was very nice but just could not communicate in English. He did will with French and Italian. There were 4 english only speaking people on the tour. Unable to understand we stayed back from the hike as we had no idea of what was expected!

We had an amazing time touring Mount Etna - the pick-up and drop-off were very smooth, our guide (Simon) was very friendly and knowledgeable; it was fascinating to hear about the geology and history of the area. We would definitely recommend this tour!

Very nice tour. They picket us up at our location at 8:10 and brought us back at around 14:30. While the walk on the vulcan at +/- 2000 m.a.s.l. we learned a lot about the Etna and the eruptions. Our very nice guide (Mauricio), spoke good english and italian. We can definitely recommend this tour.
Highly recommended

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
