Amazing trip to Etna with very interesting explanations! Perfect transfer from the airbnb. The best were the very nice guides (Dario + Giusy).

I had an absolutely breathtaking experience on the sunset trip to Mount Etna. As we explored the volcanic landscape, our guide Iorga explained intricate details about Etna's history, geology, its impact on the surrounding environment and the wealth of his knowledge about the volcano and his passion for sharing it with us made the journey incredibly enriching. Watching the sun dip below the horizon against the backdrop of this majestic natural wonder was a truly magical moment and the memory of this experience will forever stay with me.

This was a very informative and interesting excursion. Me and my family participated in it and we found it very enjoyable. The guide was very knowlegable, and was a true fan of Etna and volcanoes in general, along with the stories about Etna, he also showed pictures and vides of himself visiting Etna during the most recent eruption. The walk through a lava cave was one of the highlights of the tour. Hike at the Etna was also planned out so that our paths wouldn't cross with the many other groups that were also there. Overall the tour was long enough to cover everything without rushing, and my boys (9 and 12) both enjoyed it very much. The communication with the organizers was effortless and simple. As soon as the order went through, we got in touch on whatsapp and discussed all the required details, including the arangement of the pickup point. The only problem we had was the missing air conditioning in the bus, and it was a very very hot day (+32C), that's why I can't give full 5 starts.

The Etna is a powerful place where nature presents itself in all her majesty. Elia, a perfect combination of knowledge, passion, and professionalism guided us with a light and secure touch, unveiling the secrets that were laying in front of our eyes, engaging us so that we learned about the volcano's life and the movement of the lava, sharing the stories of the people who love the Etna.

Was an awesome experience. Guide was extremely knowledgeable on all things Volcanos and Scicilian culture. He was also very entertaining and engaging.

This was an amazing afternoon and evening - very smoothly run, highly knowledgeable tour guide (Daniele), and a great trip around Etna! Only thing to bear in mind is that the sunset tour we did only had about an hour of actual hiking - worth clarifying if you’re looking for a more substantial trek!

A huge thanks to all of you for this very beautiful afternoon and sunset at Etna. From the booking to the hiking, you guys were as kind as professional. Thanks for the hiking shoes, and the delicates attentions during the all excursion. Specially to Leo our guide today, who was so supportive for our weirdest questions about the volcano 😜! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 All the best Camille

We spontaneously decided to visit Etna during our short stay in Catania. We went on a tour some years ago during our previous stay so this time we chose the sunset tour. Etna was rather active during our stay and we hoped that it will bring additional value. And we were right. First of all, our guide Gaetano was an experience in itself. Wonderful guide, who wanted to share as much of his knowledge about volcanos in general and Etna in particular. He took special care for English speaking passengers as well as French-speaking ones. He gave a special flair to this half-day excursion. We also had a chance to go on a very short hike over collateral craters and a short amateur speleological walk through one of the lava tunnels, even crawling through cracks in the Earth. At the end of the day, Gaetano took us to a special place to observe the sunset and served some sweets and wine. However, what was more spectacular was watching eruptions and spraying lava coming from the crater. As the darkness set it was all much more visible and absolutely breathtaking. I couldn't recommend enough this tour. Sunset in itself is already a reason to go, but if you happen to be there when Etna is showing its show, it is absolute top experience.
