The transportation to Mt Etna from the meeting point left Sunday at 8:40 - 5 minutes prior to our late arrival. We totally understand why they had to go since we were lost due to the rental car GPS giving us directions to use roads that were closed for construction. The Viator website did NOT have a phone number posted to contact Laura. Laura sent 2 messages to my email however I did not the international internet on my work cell phone. We asked if we could meet the others at Mt Etna and we were told no. We drove to Mt Etna ourselves and completed another tour that unfortunately was more expensive. I contacted Laura last night for a refund for 2 tickets (120E).

This was an excellent small group tour of 6 to explore Mt Etna and its surrounds. Our driver and guide Kevin was excellent in every way. He arrived punctually at the allotted meeting point, was a safe driver and provided wonderful information and commentary about Mt Etna and it's history over the years. As a local expert, while we visited the usual popular tourist spots on Mt Etna, he was also able to take us to some places away from the usual tourist spots. Kevin had a great sense of humour and made all of us feel comfortable and relaxed as we explored this amazing landscape. A great morning tour, which I would highly recommend. Thank you Kevin.

Sylvia was great! She tried to answers all our questions and if she did not know she found another trip leader who did.

What a fantastic trip. Luca, our guide, was excellent. He was knowledgeable, interesting and obviously enjoyed showing us an area that he loves. Pick up was from our hotel, we stopped along the way to look and take photos. We had a coffee at 2000 feet and then wine, olive and honey tasting. Luca was happy to answer our questions and we learnt loads about Etna, Sicily and of the mafia! Thanks Luca for a wonderful time. Hopefully you’ll get to ‘drift’ one day x

Regi was amazing! Made the hike extremely entertaining and was very attentive with the entire group. So happy I booked this tour

Jennifer T

Small group, comfortable ride and good conversation with the guide and others on the tour. Hike was more difficult than expected because of wind but totally doable. Wear layers and expect some amazing views.

Kevin our guide was just the absolute best x This is the best way to see mount etna So glad we got to see lava exploding and the rumbling sound just before was amazing

Sam_W

We had a really great tour of Etna with multiple stops for different views and to understand the impact of previous eruptions. Andrea was an excellent guide, with a lot of knowledge in geology and a genuine interest and love for the city. We even got some great recommendations on where to eat after the tour. There was another couple who didn't show up, so we basically ended up with a private tour. The pace was good and the smaller vehicle enabled us to go down roads that a bus wouldn't be able to take. We only had one full day in Catania and we're glad we chose this tour. We'll be back!
