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

Excellent guide (Maurizio), totally recommendable tour. It does worth 100%, you cannot visit Catania without at least a half day trip to mount Etna

Don’t go if you speak English.

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!

Very good, though not much hiking, very suitable for people who'd like to see the Etna but do not want to walk very far. Personally, we'd have liked some more hiking but apart from that the tour and the guide were great

Nice history and information about the volcano. We saw several viewpoints and entered a lava tube. We did some tracking, but not so much as to get tired.
