        Everything was just perfect! Our guide Laura was very passionate about Etna and she was explaining everything very clearly. The view was amazing, visibility was very good. We highly recommend.

        Excellence on Etna!
        We cannot praise this tour enough. Communication and pick up were seamless; our guide Sylvia was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Etna. The whole 5 hours was a fascinating learning experience, packed with historical anecdotes, statistics and geological information. The views, of course, were spectacular. We really enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend it wholeheartedly.

        Incredible tour and brilliant guide (Giovanni)
        This tour exceeded our expectations. We are geography teachers and we were very excited to see Etna in person - this tour did not disappoint! The views of Etna on this tour were incredible. Our tour guide, Giovanni, made our trip so enjoyable. He is very knowledgable and kept us laughing with his brilliant sense of humour. This is a trip we won't forget and we will return next year!

        A must do tour. Giovanni is a great tour guide
        If you only do 1 tour in Catania this is a must with Giovanni as your tour guide. His personality & charm made the tour unforgettable. He is a geologist & his expertise & knowledge was outstanding. Ask him any question and he has an entertaining & informative answer. The tour itself exceeded expectations & it was our highlight of Catania. Forgot to mention Mt Etna is stunning to see as well.

        Samuela and Etna all the way!
        My boyfriend and I recently went on the sunset tour to Etna with the amazing guide Samuela! We couldn't have asked for a better guide. She explained everything along the way in both Italian and English since we were in a mixed group. Samuela even took us to a tasting and recommended the best regional products to taste and buy from local producers in Etna! (the honey and Pistachio butter are something out of this world!) I highly recommend trying this tour. We opted for the sunset tour, but I believe the morning one is equally impressive. The view from Etna overlooking Catania, Taormina, and even Calabria is simply breathtaking!

        Scenic Etna Excursion with a Side of Sicilian Hospitality: A Knowledgeable Guide and Local Tastes Review
        From our hotel in Catania to the craters at the top of Mount Etna, our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to provide us with many facts about the history of Sicily, Catania and of course Mount Etna. They were also able to answer our many questions about local customs and history. The visit to the lava cave was also very interesting and, once again, well explained. Finally, there was a tasty visit to a local farm featuring local products such as honey, olive oil and Etna wines, with tastings. Our regret: we only had cabin luggage, so there wasn't much room! On a final positive note, we were able to arrange a drop-off in Taormina to optimize our trip. We recommend this very friendly and professional tour!

        A must do when in Sicily
        Great experience! We got picked up close to our location. The first stop was at a local store below the Etna where we bought the local produce ; mainly honey products. The tour continued with several stops for photo opportunities and the 1991 lava stream . We visited a lava formed cave by the eruption and with the supplied helmets and torches it made it feel adventurous. The last stop was at the Silvester Crater and looked unearthly beautiful. Barren landscapes waiting to be photographed! In short : a must do when in Sicily!

Moreover Salvatore was relly nice to us, he let us took our time for droning and just discovering by ourselves, and giving us nice informations. I definitely recommend !!

        First time at Etna
        Great experience Starting from picking you up from the hotel till drop off👏 The guide was very nice, gave interesting facts about Etna, eruption an if anything was not clear- made pictures 😀 The wine part was also nice. There was 5 types of wine to taste (from brut to red one). There was a lot of food also. The first part snacks (prochutto salami, several types of cheese) and then the offered pasta. Also it’s available to buy a bottles of wine for a good price. I liked how excursion was organized, everything was in time and super friendly

        Impressive experience
        The tour to the Etna was impressive. The tour guide was enthusiastic and his stories were interesting. Communication before the tour was also very clear. We stopped at various points, including a cave. This was a nice contribution to the tour. Thank you for the nice experience!

        Great service!!!!
        Salvo is TOP NOTCH customer service. Not only did he secure and lead a great tour for our family but he also helped rescue our trip assisting with new accommodations. This tour is a great way to spend some time on the mountain but also not overheat in summer. You’re in good hands with Exclusive Etna Excursions.

      Lovely hotel and location. Sicily is very hilly and unfortunately most of the roads lack footpaths. Excellent trip to Etna with a guide who was very informative. A downside of the area was poor public transport and inability to go and explore. Hiring a car was too dangerous in that area.
