Excellent tour at Etna summit, then lava cave and finally local market with oil, honey and wine. We had a wonderful guide Luigi, who showed as a lot of beautiful places, told a lot of interesting stories. The tour was very well organized. I really recommend Etnavic!!!

Ludovico was great help with organising, very responsive to texts and clear with what to expect. Great getting picked up and dropped off in Catania. Santi was our tour guide, he was great. Really knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend !

We had great time at Etna. Our guide Monica was very knowledgeable and passionate, explained us everything about Mama Etna, the whole region and all products grown and made there. We also met lovely fellow travellers from France and we definitely think it was worth of time and the cost.

As most “common” tours were booked out, we found Etnavic on TA. It was an easy, quick and very polite contact with the manager Ludovico, so we had everything to know ready within a few hours. The Etna tour with our guide Luigi was perfect. I would do it a second time again! Strongly recommended for excited people! My daughter and me meet him at 7:50 in Catania. Luigi drove us with his car up the volcano. Luigi filled the time with plenty of information on seismic activities and interesting facts on volcanos. He is a real expert and knows everything about this topic. He is Mr. Walking Encyclopedia Vulcanico to me😃. First, we visited a lava cave, then went up the Etna to the rope way start. After a short coffee break we started the tour up the volcano accompanied by many many interesting stories on Mount Etna, its meaning in history and nowadays. The 4 hours were melting away and Luigi showed us so amazing things, I couldn’t believe there is so much to know! At 3.pm. Luigi dropped off safely at the meeting point. It was a perfect trip. Thanks a lot, Luigi!!!

We went to the Etna Summit tour and we had a fantastic time. Our guide, Monica, was very enthusiastic and told us many interesting things about Etna. The tour included a stop at a lava cave, a ride on the cable car and a few hours of hiking around different spectacular spots. We really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to anyone.

Superb experience, we had a light hike around craters through the alien black environment of upper Etna mountain guided by Luigi, away from tourist crowds. He is not only an experienced mountain guide but also volcano encyclopedia; we've learnt so many about Etna and other volcanoes, but also about local life near the huge active volcano. The trip was not difficult and didn't seem dangerous, Luigi being very attentive with our group members and careful about our safety. After the dip into the stunning summit area, we visited a local farm where could taste some delicious honey products and wines (have some free space in your backpack, it's almost impossible to leave the farm empty-handed). I think taking any of Etnavic's guided trip is far superior than trying to go there by yourself, you'll save a lot of time not fumbling around and also will learn A LOT from the guides. Highly recommend!

To anyone second guessing whether they should do an Etna Summit Tour, you should definitely do it, without giving it another thought. The atmosphere and environment on which you walk, is mystical and inspiring, but more so, through the fantastic guiding and explanations of Santi, no questions were left unanswered and everything explained impeccably. Highly recommend Etnavic to all.

Fantastic day on Etna. Luigi was a superb, thoughtful and incredibly knowledgeable guide who took us to areas away from the crowds. No hesitation in recommending Etnavic.
