    Brilliant, do it if you're reasonably fit. We maybe got lucky as strombolic activity started 6 days before our hike, so we saw actual eruptions (fire and rocks!), but worth it even without that. We are 59 and 61 and were worried initially at the physicality of it and the reduction in effective oxygen at that height. My partner faltered at one point but a motivational talk helped her on and she didn't regret it!. Great guides with multiple languages, you're hiking for over 3 hours but at least you get to wee on a volcano!

    We chose the afternoon ascent and it was really memorable! Our guides (Andreo and Nikos) were excellent and professional, as was the driver for the mid section of the mountain :) We were really fortunate have clear views and to see two craters releasing material - amazing to see! To experience these kinds of forces of nature (pyroclastic activity, wind, etc.) was phenomenal. We highly recommend taking the time to experience Mt.Etna from the north side with this tour operator - just excellent!

    A very special experience. The hike to the summit had astonishing views. The hike down was also thoroughly enjoyable, navigating through soft volcanic soil. At no point did we ever feel unsafe. These guides are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and concerned for your safety. Our English speaking guide, Vincenzo, had a great sense of humor and was full of stories from his childhood in Sicily. So much fun! This was so worth it and truly a highlight of our trip to Sicily.

    This was an incredible and very surreal experience. Really hard to believe I’ve been there, especially when I look up from my room in Linguaglossa and see the beautiful Etna. It definitely was challenging so make sure you like hiking - uphill and at high altitudes and going downhill, at times quite steep and through soft streams of lava/ash. I think the author John Steinbeck’s quote describes the experience perfectly; “it is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone.”

    Today was a perfect day to visit Etna. The weather was really good and we got to see all the craters. The expedition was well organized. Only downside was that our group consistent of 3 languages. The guide had to explain everything 3 times and that took a while. Would be more efficient to try to put languages together.
