a wonderful tour guided by Janet. she is really knowledgeable and helpful. we went trekking and saw all the stuff about volcanos. went into a cave and knew how the lava works.

This tour was excellent! From start to finish, Dario gave very interesting information about the volcano since he is an expert in environmental and natural science. The hike on the northeastern side of the volcano lasted about 4 hours, it was not too difficult, but very interesting because it led us through different landscapes, from where we could enjoy different views, plants, vegetation and of course the dried lava flow under our feet. After a short lunch break at a beautiful chalet in the forest, Dario brought us back to have a taste of the “Etna fire” (liquor), and then we went to the second part of the tour, the lava tunnel. This part was also a unique experience to be in a lava tunnel. All in all, I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone! You will be surprised how much you can learn if you spend just one day in a completely different vegetation (almost like on another planet).

We had an 8 hours trip with Danilo the geologist guide, he picked up us with an airconditional Land Rover. He was perfect in English and very kind. We had an easy lunch on 2200 meters, the view was mindblowing. We were in extraordinary places, the whole tour was incredible. It was an amazing experience, it totally worths the money.

We had an amazing experience hiking around the North side of the Etna. Our guide was wonderful and shared his extensive knowledge on the history and nature with great enthusiasm. This had definitely added even more to the already beautiful sights. In addition the communication with etna experience prior to our trip was excellent. Thanks again for this memorable day!

November 6 we experienced one of the best organized tours to Etna accompanied by tour guide Giuseppe.He is a real professional, shared a lot of information with us. It seems he knows everything about Etna. Giuseppe showed us solitary track with no people around which gave us a feeling of isolation and allowed to enjoy Etna and spectacular views. He was attentive, caring, made our tour easy and comfortable. We definitely recommend him.

Es war fantastisch! Ich wurde in der nähe vom Hotel abgeholt. Wir sind ca.45 Minuten bis zum Lager gefahren wo wir Wanderschuhe, Jacken, etc. benutzen durften (Kostenlos) Danach sind wir vis zum „Refugio Giovanni Sapienza gefahren wo wir angefangen haben. Die Wanderung war sehr schön und die Kenntnisse von unserem Reiseführer waren sehr gut. Er (Giovanni) hat uns viele Sachen erzählt. Es war sehr angenehm und interessant!!

reibungslose Abholung von Catania und Fahrt zum Ausgangspunkt. Schuhe und Jacken werden gestellt. Die Wanderung ist im Norden des Etna und beginnt auf etwa 1700m. Die Wanderung ist ca. 9km lang und man steigt nur ca. 400hm auf. Es ist also eine sehr einfache Wanderung. Für Leute welche eine etwas anspruchsvollere Tour suchen, die auch auf Höhen über 2000m den Etna erkundet würde ich eine Tour im Süden empfehlen. Für uns war die Tour eher etwas unspektakulär, beinhaltet aber trotzdem tolle Ausblicke und eine schöne Vulkanlandschaft. Preislich gibt es ähnliche Touren zu geringerem Preis.

Antonio ci ha accompagnato in una esperienza sull'Etna veramente unica. Con la sua preparazione,il suo entusiasmo coinvolgente e la sua pazienza abbiamo trovato affinità di passo e cinque ore sono volate. Da ripetere nella bella stagione

Dario, notre guide, a été excellent. Nous définissions le rythme du trekking et adaptions le parcours si nécessaire. Dario était très pédagogue et nous a expliqué en détail l'histoire de l'Etna et sa composition rocheuse. Le trekking a duré 5 heures.
