      Awesome day! Do it!
      What an amazing time! The crew who took me (on 29/9) were so friendly, kind and helpful as well as brilliant fun to be with. I had an absolutely wonderful time and hope the guys get full credit from management for being the fantastic people - and ambassadors of the sport - that they are!

      Good trip, thanks to Etna and guide Rui!
      We liked the trip, really great views and the Etna is just amazing. Our guide Rui seemed to be the best of the guides, with a wealth of knowledge taking us to the best spots. The 'wine tasting' cannot be sold as such, it was merely a sales break to a basic store with local products. Not bad but I would not advert it as wine tasting as we got less that a sip of 2 wines. The Jeep was pretty uncomfortable but kind of cosy at the same time. Overall good experience.

      Amazing trip deffo worth the trip
      This was a really lovely excursion. Luca was a great guide and really fun / informative. We went round a lovely spot at the bottom of Etna and tried wine/olives/honey/pesto. Was lovely watching the sunset up etna and really enjoyed the experience. Can be quite daunting travelling solo but I felt super safe and loved this trip

      Excellent Tour
      We really enjoyed this trip despite an “incident” which was entirely my fault and our guide (Regi) dealt with very well. We headed off and at the first stop at a lava field, I managed to catch my foot on a rock and do a dramatic face plant. Lots of cuts and bruises and a knee that wouldn’t stop bleeding. They sorted me out as best they could using the first aid kit in the vehicle. The next stop was tasting local food and wine. Regi left the rest of the group there and took me down to a local medical centre to get my knee dressed and cleaned up properly. After that, we just continued the tour as usual and Regi was on hand if I needed support getting in and out of the vehicle. Our tour was entirely in English although we had an Italian couple with us. Regi was very knowledgable and interesting, and made the tour very enjoyable. The scenery up at the craters is stunning, it’s just a shame it was overcast so not much of a sunset but that’s nature for you. Following my accident, I felt that they looked after me as well as they could have done and he even dropped us back at our apartment at the end of the trip rather than back at the pick up point, so I didn’t have to hobble back. I would definitely recommend.

      Highly Recommend, fantastic!
      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

      Catania Jeep Tour - Do It!
      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.

      Absolutely Brilliant!!
      Absolutely brilliant trip. Luca went above and beyond with our trip. Took us to some other great views out the tour track and was very informative and a great guy in general with a great look on life and his ambitions. Really made the trip worthwhile and made sure everyone was safely home afterwards. Wish I could give him 10 Stars!!

      Great
      Well organised. Small group so plenty of times to ask questions. A great way to see Etna. Had the chance to learn about flora of the area as well as getting close to craters on the lower slopes. Visit to lava cave was also excellent.

      Excellent company to visit Etna with
      Great way to visit Etna and learn about its history. Guides were knowledgeable and made the day fun. The "honey visit" on the way back was a bonus! Would recommend this company and wished we had more time in Catania as we would have booked another trip with them.
