Tour guide was very knowledgeable and thoughtful. The mountain is an interesting place. The highlight for me was the tasting at the end, the local produce was delicious! Be aware that to go up the cable car higher up the mountain is an additional cost. And there isn’t a lot to see there unless you are really into geology or volcanology.

Going to the Etna was very special. It's so impressive to stand at the top and just see nothing but the incredible view and the Etna landscape. I'm so glad I booked this tour and would recommend it to everyone. Getting picked up (in Catania) and travelling with a small group is perfect. The guide was really nice and told us a lot of interesting information. The only downside was the long wait on the 4 x 4 busses at the top, but that's not something this tour can help, as you would've ran into the same problem if you want by yourself or another tour.

We couldn't ask for a better tour guide. Nando explained us everything about the vulcano and even more about sicilian culture. It was a nice experience. We really enjoyed the tour and we highly recommend it.

Great trip, obviously weather has to factor in for a trip like this but the guide made it worth the visit. Really enjoyed the tasting at the gift shop/cafe, even bought some produce 😋

Moreno our guide was personable and very knowledgeable about Mt. Etna and its history. He made the trip enjoyable for everyone in the group. We also liked that it was a small group .

Driving endlessly uphill through beautiful scenery with Etna becoming closer at every step. Great information from Peppe about all things Etna

Like most of the reviews here, we had an amazing time and highly recommend this tour and Etna Tribe in general (we took another tour as well and their website is accurate and detailed - spot on). Pick up in an eight seater van from the hotel in Catania and a lovely and informative drive with our awesome guide Pepe to the base area Rifugio Sapienza. From there you have the option to take the cable car (additional cost) to go higher and walk the newer craters there, but we opted to stay at the base and had a longer tour with Pepe and saw amazing craters and learnt about the volcano, lava and how vegetation slowly starts to return. Truly unique! We then drove and stopped by a small cave to learn more about the lava and rock formations, and ended in a wonderful farm / restaurant that provided some wine, oil on bread and other liqueur samples, but we happily bought a bit of lunch and wine in this lovely setting.

Our guide Enzo was brilliant. Telling stories on the journey both fun and factual. We were in a small group of different nationalities and ages of which he made everyone feel welcome. He explained the itinerary of the day when and where to meet and if there were any changes. I had fractured my arm of which he was very aware of and helpfull. The tour was of the right length and we were able to see the countryside during the day. Highly recommended.

Great tour the guide Giueseppe was brilliant very knowledgeable about the area and even Catania itself and could answer any questions we had whilst telling us about Mt Etna etc. The wine/food tasting was great also in a lovely little village called Ragalna we got to try a wide range of things such as wine, olive oils, meats, cheeses and different spreads/jams me and my girlfriend both loved it!

Our guide was Moreno, and we had the most amazing experience on Mount Etna with him. He was a very kind, friendly, caring and funny guide. He was very enthusiastic and made sure that everyone in the group was enjoying themselves. I would highly recommend Etna Tribe, and specifically Moreno. He was very informative in providing lots of interesting facts about Mount Etna and he answered all of our questions.
