Overall experience very good. There was some bits of misty cloud around Etna which took away a view at times but we still got to see everything & it added to the atmosphere. Tasting experience was quite quick and only a couple of oils/wines although much bigger range of honeys & option to buy various sized pots afterwards. The lava cave was just at the side of a road so is not an official tourist site. Helmets and torches were provided and glad to have seen it but be aware there's no easy access created by stairs or anything- you have to climb up & down a short section of rough rock. Only 4 participants on our trip so went in guide's car rather than a larger vehicle. As female travellers and the first to be collected would have appreciated being told to expect a car and told guides name and either uniform they would wear or some ID they would bring. Shoes with a good tread & ankle support are a must. The last part of the walk was a very steep climb on sandy/gravel track so you need good grip and it's also steep & easy to skid coming back down. A lightweight hiking pole was made available for each person but may want to bring your own, especially if you'd normally use one on each side. The guide we had was a late replacement but very knowledgeable, explaining clearly and happy to answer questions. Overall really enjoyed the trip and would recommend but would say you have to have reasonable fitness and mobility to get the most out of this tour.

We did the Etna Sunset tour with our fabulous guide Santi. We stopped at an organic local farm first to samples some products, then went to the valley of Ox where Santi gave us more explanation about volcanoes, we then went Lava caves exploring equipped with helmets and flashlights and finally reached the Etna refuge 2000m, for a short easy walk up, right on time to watch the sun go down and drink some sweet wine :) Definitely recommend this tour, thank you Santi and Ludovico

Monica was so kind, understanding, helpful and encouraging to all of us. Our ages ranged from early 20's - 88! The side hikes, lava tube and crater rim walk were a bit challenging for some and she made sure to attend to each of us making us feel safe and comfortable. This tour was the highlight of our trip to Sicily! The sunset was nothing short of spectacular - and it was an unforgettable experience!

We had a terric experience from booking until we were dropped off. Ludevico was super responsive , very friendly, and made sure we had all the details. Our guide, Diego was passionate about Sicily, the Volcano and region and he made it so much fun! We were blessed with a clear day and could see the summit. We took layers but magically were fine with just t shirts and long pants. Good footwear was important for traction. I highly recommend this company! Big highlight of our trip! Grazie!
