- Explore554345447640 contributionsAn unforgettable experienceThe tour was really fun. The guide was professional and nice. We saw stunning and breathtaking views. We looked down on the landscape from above and also toured the cave and saw the sunsetWritten October 1, 2024
- eelk19960 contributionsA sunset to remember foreverSuch a beautiful and unique experience we had today. Our guide, Monica, was so passionate and engaging throughout and clearly has a strong love for Etna and Catania. It was really lovely getting to know everything about the volcano and the little interesting stopovers along the way! An enriching experience and one that was worth absolutely every penny. And the sunset 😍 Me and my friend Stephanie loved it. Completely recommend!!Written September 30, 2024
- MagdalenaM22230 contributionsGreat fun and learningWe had a great time at the tour. We are not big fans of guided tours coz they can be boring but our tour guide Giuseppe was very passionate and knowledgeable and explained everything in a fun way with his drawings on the ground and making little volcano shapes in the sand. It was good fun as well as learning a bit about the area. There were only 4 of us which made it even better and more personal. I would highly recommend 😊Written September 29, 2024
- 842maciejl0 contributionsGreat tour 👌We had a fantastic morning hike with Giovanni. He's a great guide, passionate about his work 💪👍😎 We wished we had more time to do sunset tripWritten September 27, 2024
- Navigate447557041500 contributionsGreat Etna TourGreat Tour, led by the very knowledgeable Giuseppe. Plenty of time at each of the stopping points. Learned a great deal about Etna and its history. Highly recommended!Written September 26, 2024
- innesy20240 contributionsEnta TourReally nice 6 hour round trip up Etna! Stopped for a wine and honey tasting on the way! So many nice views and photos all the way up the mountain, just a shame we go caught in the clouds and couldn't see the top! Tour guide was fantastic! Gave us displays and descriptions along the way on the history of the volcano!Written September 24, 2024
- 823siobhanf0 contributionsBehold the wonders of the Earth!It was a trip I will always remember! I went with my two girls ( 11 and 7yr old). We loved every part of the tour. Our guide Giuseppe shared so much information on the volcanoes. The more I learned about Mt. Etna, the safer I felt about being there. Meaning there are plenty of signals and time before you need to react to its type of eruptions. And learning our guide lives pretty close to it put me at ease also. I enjoyed the views of older lava flows and the stories of the more recent eruptions. The walk uphill is moderate and coming down Giuseppe was more then willing to assist anyone who needed more balance as we walked and slid a little down hill on the loose lava terrain. A walking stick may be preferable for some people. I would recommend this to everyone who wants to explore a part of the Earth that shows so much evidence of its power without getting too close to the top! Thanks again Giuseppe!Written September 24, 2024
- Ali4140 contributionsAmazing Sunset trip to Etna which also included a stop for local wine and honey tastingI contacted Etnavic re a sunset tour of Etna. Ludovico texted me back very quickly confirming he would be able to do the tour on our requested date and time. I chose a tour which didn’t involve too much walking as I was recovering from a broken foot. Sebastian was our guide. Part of our tour was a visit to a magma cave which was a bit challenging but worth it. The view of Etna and the valley was awe inspiring and the sunset was amazing. Sebastian was a really good guide, very knowledgable and passionate about his job. We felt that this tour was perfect for us. Communication with us was very good and we were picked up near our hotel on time.Written September 19, 2024
- paulrY6642NH0 contributionsVery interestingOur guide Monica provided excellent background information on Etna and explained the chronology of the major events in Etna's history. Although it was cloudy on the evening of our tour so no sunset to speak of she made the trip interesting. The trip into a lava flow cave was really good and when one of the group didn't feel comfortable in the cave Monica ensured her wellbeing was a priority.Written September 18, 2024
- Z9876VBmarcosc0 contributionsExelent TripI was very happy with the service and professionalism. Lorenzo and Guisepe are simply sensational. I recommend to everyoneWritten September 18, 2024
- sandinis0 contributionsVery pleasant tourVery pleasant tour, I recommend this light version for those who have health problems or are not used to long walks. Francesco our guide was very attentive, very friendly, taught us a lot about Etna and the whole region. When booking at the premises we were very well advised by Ludovico. Many thanks ❤️Written September 13, 2024

Fabulous day with Etnavic.
Ludovico was of great help explaining all the options suitable for us.
Picked up by our guide Luigi from the hotel and spent a joyous day in his company. Luigi was at all times considerate and a font of knowledge on matters Etna and it was a great education for us.
Etnavic laid on a very special day; one excellent company.

What I loved most was when, from a height of 2,000m, we heard the volcano’s roars. Our guide, fun and well qualified, told us this is not an everyday show – we felt lucky. Furthermore, we enjoyed a lot the cave experience, walking across hot lava was unreal, the sight of Bove’s valley…and the final savory food samples – really on point. A tasty way to say goodbye to the mountain (“A Muntagna” as they say) and be back to Catania happy and satisfied.
Me and my wife, we usually don’t take part to organized tours however we were very happy of this experience since the tour guides were local and clearly in love with their place – this gave us a very authentic and rustic experience which sounded less “commercial” than what we’ve generally seen.
GREAT value for money – we really hope to come back next year. Greetings from Singapore

Thank you, I am glad that you have enjoyed your Trekking, Luca is a great guide and we are lucky to be able to collaborate with Him! Thanks also for the compliments to the organization ... following you step by step in the choice, and then in the organization of each phase of your experiences, occupies part of my time of Naturalistic Guide, but I always try to do it to the fullest!
See you soon!
