From start to finish this tour was worth every penny .. and probably more!! Our guide Nicola was incredibly knowledgeable about Etna, from geology to ecology. He was also entertaining yet with safety in mind. We learnt so much, which you can when it's a small group. The food provided was great, washed down with a lovely Sicilian wine made from grapes that can only be grown on Etna. Absolutely love Etna...she is beautiful and is what makes Sicily 🥰. Lastly a massive thanks to the back office at Etna People 👏🏻. These guys do everything well. Thank you

Tony was great and so passionate about Mount Etna. It was a amazing experience and loved the small tour and personal attention. He even provided jackets and shoes if needed. The cabin where we had sandwiches was such a cute place too.

An easy hike that takes around 2 hours, is partly shaded in the woods and therefore not too hot in the mid/late afternoon sun. At the end of the hike you have a delicious glass of Etna wine and a huge plate of antipasti.

We had a very good time with Etnapeople. We choose “Good Morning Etna” and had a wonderful excursion with our guide Ugo who was very nice ! The wine testing was a really great moment too. We just love it !

We took the sunset tour with Etna People in August 2020 and couldn't recommend it more highly. The whole experience of booking, through to communication and pick up was incredibly smooth and stress free. A bonus to be able to hire boots and a jacket, especially when travelling light to Sicily during the height of summer. The views from Etna itself are nothing short of magical. Roberto was the perfect guide - entertaining and super knowledgeable, he made us laugh from the moment we were picked up, until the time we were dropped off. With being a small tour, it was easy to connect with other travellers and by the end it felt like we'd been on holiday with friends. Thank you Roberto for making our last night in Sicily so special - we will be back!

My initial trip was rescheduled. Fortunately i could go the next day, the views were mesmerizing beautiful the guide Gian was super! (Hope he will forward the photos the boy’s drone took of the group on the top soon !) after the hike and cave tour we had a little picnic outside with panini and delicious Etna rosso wine and visit of a friendly fox, so cute! I’m glad i went despite the clouds (no sunset red sky ) i got some great photos and bit of thunder didn’t scared me off ;-)! Two thumbs up! 👍👍😃

We chose Etna People for the sunset walking tour based on the trip advisor reviews. We were collected by Ugo, in a people carrier (There only take a maximum of 8 people in each group). Ugo proved to be the perfect guide, his explanations of the geology/geography were very interesting and exactly the right level. Overall, very very good and very interesting. Many hanks Etna People

My wife and I had a wonderful visited Taormina July 2019. We took a tour to Etna mountain with Etnapeople Excursions and loved it. Our guide Roberto was very knowledgeable about the volcano, landscape, plants and history, he made sure everything went smoothly. They took us from and dropped back in Taormina bus terminal with a comfortable minivan. We took a walk up to the craters, the caves, and had a lovely picnic, enjoyed the sunset, sipping delicious local Sicilian vines. Definitely recommended.

<p>Our guide, Marcello, was very knowledgeable in the geology of the volcano which was great. Overall the tour was not what we expected and seemed disorganized. Other than checking out a predetermined cave it felt like more of a freestyle tour. Just taking a road somewhere, parking and wandering around. We were on the southside of the mountain that did not offer anything in the way of a sunset, so to advertise it as a sunset tour is just not accurate. </p> <p>We were brought to a dinner afterwards where we sat around for much of the time. There was just too much dead time there and should have had better pacing. I would have rather returned to the hotel than get my 5 hours or however long we were given.</p>
