Sebastiano and Egle are both very kind, helpful and professionnal. They will make you feel comfortable and explain everything all along. If you are visiting Sicily, Etna Quad Excursion is a most. Landscape, adrenaline, fun... A perfect cocktail for guaranteed thrills!

Wow!!! What an experience, as its non-peak time it was only me and my partner on the excursion today, but it made it such a great experience. Dominic was so informative, friendly and his english was fantastic. Me and my partner have been on many excursions all over the world and this was one of our favourites. Will definitely return in the summer so we can go closer to the summit but Dominic made the experience for us.

We enjoyed experiencing Etna very closely. Driving off-road was a lot of fun and our guide shared a lot of knowledge about the terrain.

Bevor ich anfange Kritik zu üben möchte ich bemerken, die Veranstalter sind bemüht und für das Wetter sind sie nicht verantwortlich!!! Ein Etna Besuch per Quad, wir erwarteten ein kleines Abenteuer. Leider war das einzig wirklich abenteuerliche die Strecke und deren Zustand. Wir sind schon viel Quad gefahren, große Dschungel Touren in Costa Rica und so, aber das hier hatte nichts mit Spaß zu tun. Spaß beginnt auch mit einer Portion Vertrauen den Teilnehmern gegenüber. Wir und auch die 2 anderen Teilnehmer wurden permanent gemaßregelt… zur Bemerkung, wir sind 57 und 58 und hatten unseren 9 jährigen Enkel mit. Was macht man da gefährliches??? Gesehen haben wir auch nix und den Besuch (5 Minuten nach Start) im Weingut hätten wir lieber weggelassen. Schließlich wollten wir vom Vulkan was sehen. Gekauft haben wir trotzdem und das Marketing Modell hat wieder einmal Erfolg gehabt 😉 Alles in allem, zu wenig Event für viel Geld und dann im dunklen zurück. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Katrin

Un meraviglioso giro in quad sull'Etna, nella Valle del Bove e ai Crateri Silvestri. La nostra guida " Egle dagli occhi blu" molto simpatica ed esauriente🤗 oltre 4 ore di divertimento! da Provare😍

Super moment en quad! Guide au top et qui parlait plusieurs langues. Le quad était en bonne état. Nous avons pas eu de soucis particulier. Les explications sur les sites visités viennent d’un passionné de la région. Plusieurs petits arrêts sont prévus avec aa chaque fois un moment sympa plein d’histoire. Quelques petites marches sont à effectuer dans un terrain pas toujours évident mais cela en vaut toujours l’effort. Chose à apporter avec: -de l’eau -de quoi se couvrir le vissage (pour la poussière en roulant en off road) -lunette de soleil

Esperienza adrenalinica ed entusiasmante sopratutto per i miei bimbi! Giacomo la nostra guida esperta ed appassionata del suo lavoro ha reso le 4 ore stupende anche per me che era la mia prima volta in quad! Esperienza da rifare e consigliata anche per chi ha bambini!

Esperienza fantastica e sicuramente da rifare. Tour adrenalinico dall'inizio alla fine, accompagnati da Tommaso, un'ottima guida molto preparata ed attenta, e soprattutto esaustiva in ogni sua spiegazione. Grazie per averci fatto scoprire la meravigliosa realtà dell'Etna.

Abbiamo avuto il piacere di fare questa bellissima esperienza in quad in compagnia della nostra fantastica guida Sebastiano. Un ragazzo che ama il suo lavoro,simpatico, gentile, professionale e preparato. Guidare il quad fino a quota 1980 m con la neve è stata un'esperienza bellissima da rifare e ricordare.. Consiglio il percorso di 4 ore e mezza perché è il più completo e adrenalinico. Tra colate laviche,crateri e percorsi sterrati il divertimento è assicurato!! Grazie ancora della bellissima giornata, non potevamo scegliere di meglio! Mauro e Giuliana
