    We had a very interesting trip. Our guide Alex was very knowledgeable, informative, helpful and friendly. He was very conscious of our safety at all times. He explained the history of the mountain, the lava flows and the way the trees and plants have adapted to live on different parts of Etna. We went down a lava tunnel and walked around some of the dormant craters. We were shown various lava rocks that contained fools gold and a blue mineral. We then went on to Alcantara Gorge. The rock formations were fascinating. You can wade through the gorge for a better experience and view of the Gorge. I would recommend taking swim wear as the water is about 3 feet deep in some places and you will get wet. Overall it was a great day out! Thank you MrExcurions!

    Great trip! Alex, our guide was very informative, friendly and helpful. He showed us lots of amazing views and gave us lots of interesting facts about the mountain’s history, the lava flows, the lava rocks and how the trees and plants have adapted to live on mountain Etna. He was very conscious of our safety at all times, which was very reassuring. Alcantara Gorge has stunning rock formations. Wading through the gorge is amazing however ensure you take swim wear as you may get wet. The water is about 3ft deep in some parts. We would definitely recommend this 2 part trip!!

    It cost 9 euros to take the lift down to the Gorge. Then you could just walk about 100 yards before being turned back. We tried to climb the very steep staircase but it was locked at the top. The toilets in the cafe were also locked.

    Four of us were travelling together and decided to take this tour. It was excellent. Vito (Vitoria) was a terrific driver and tour guide. Mt. Etna is not something you want to take on yourself. We stopped for lunch on the way to our hiking spot, and then spent about an hour hiking to one of the upper reaches of the volcano. Vito provided in depth information about the history of the volcano, pointing out areas that dated from past eruptions. The stop at Alcantara Gorges was also well-managed and interesting, although Etna was certainly the highlight of the day.
