I did the 3,000 metre excursion, the highest available at the time. A truly fantastic experience. There was enough walking even after the cable car & bus took us as high as they are allowed to go. The guide was very knowledgeable about the volcanoe evolution and erruption history of the volcanoe and types of lave & rock formations. Thoroughly enjoyable and eductational. Great views and perspective of Sicilia from the top & on the way back down. I also recommend taking the provided jacket & boots.

It was an amazing tour. Clara took us on a private hike on a day with significant volcanic activity. It was truly awesome as we could hear a lot of roars coming straight from the volcano. Our safety was clearly given the uttermost consideration and the tour was adapted to reflect the correct level of security. Clara was Ana amazing guide showing us many peculiarities of the ever changing volcano. We ate lunch at 3,000m and it was truly wonderful. Could not recommend more.

Amazing tour. We did the one exploring the summit crateres, worth doing it. The two guides were very friendly and we had nice explanation about the different crateres, rock types … we could also see explosions a the top!!

The guide provided us a safe tour, despite of the weather condition ( windy). He has a incredible knowledge of the Etna and he answered all of our questions during the visit. I recommend it! Thanks for all. Lari- Brazil

We had been near Etna twice before, and I was determined to go on an expedition this trip. We had an excellent multilingual guide, with tours on our day offered in Italian, English, and French. We hiked up close enough to see active volcanic venting and explosions, in addition to evidence of prior eruptions, lava tubes, cinder cones, etc. The tour begins well up the mountain, which we drove to, about an hour from Catania. They did have boots, helmets and jackets for those who needed them. I would recommend for anyone with contact lenses, particularly hard lenses like I require, to bring some sort of goggles or windproof sunglasses, as the wind and volcanic dust was a bit challenging for me in the afternoon on the descent back to the gondola

Our tour guide Nino was very friendly and we enjoyed the hike up to 3000 meters. We can recommend this tour and we’re fascinated by the beautiful nature.

Great moment . Some of them were a bit afraid with the difficulty. But it was ok. The guide stop the climbing many times to give explications. Not the good moment ( 18/08) so a lot of people.

Very nice experience with our guide, who was totally friendly and helpful and was able to answer every question. Also the equipment (shoes, socks, backpack, jacket) suited very good to the level of the tour. The only potential for optimation we saw is to make smaller groups in order to shorten the duration of waiting. We were glad to have booked this tour and do absolutely recommend it.

Great overall experience from making the reservation, arriving at the location, the tour of the Etna and the goodbye. Would highly recommend and they do go the extra mile to make your encounter with the Etna area an impressive one. Beforehand communication was very efficient, complete and friendly. Arriving at the location was very organized as well. They welcomed us, told us were to park and helped us with shoes, socks and a jacket. Also informed us where we could buy take away lunch and what time we were leaving. The Etna tour was impressive and a nice adventure. They take you on a route that you would never be able to find or do without a proper guide. Speaking of which, Marco was fantastic! Knowledgeable, patient, helpful, very responsible and really passionate about his job and his work area. The group was about 11 people, so perfect. We have seem beautiful landscapes and took interesting (and for me sometimes a bit challenging route, but I'm not used to anything) It all was very well organized, which I appreciate a lot, as it is a one time experience so you do want to know exactly what the tour looks like, what you need and what to expect. If you want to have the perfect Etna experience, book here. It is so worth it.

Very Nice trek as far as it was authorized (2900m). The guide was great, speaking Italian, English and a bit of French. Don't forget to take cash to pay the excursion. I do recommend.

Thank you for the beautiful and exciting trip. The hike (in the snow) was tough, the pace of the group was high. But the views are worth it. Guiseppe is an experienced, nice and caring tour guide and gave everyone the attention and information they required. We had an amazing day!

My daughter and I had a fantastic experience with Guide Alpine and Giuseppe. The weather was challenging and you could tell they were not cutting any corner on security, constantly monitoring the evolution and making sure we we always safe. Giuseppe is very knowledgeable and passionate about Etna. He made the experience fun, we saw a lot and learned a lot. I greatly recommend them they made our visit memorable in a challenging weather. Thank you Giuseppe!

You can't go to Sicily and not experience Mt Etna! What an amazing tour. I felt like I was hiking on the moon! While admittedly more strenuous than I expected (I am near 60 in pretty good health), I am thrilled I took this tour. Giuseppe was an excellent guide sharing his vast knowledge of the volcano along the hike, while keeping a careful watch on the hikers. I tracked about 6 miles of walking on the hike, including some steep hills up and down, so I don't recommend this tour for the unfit or elderly. Amazing views of the craters and valley along Mt Etna with fascinating stories along the way. Boots (a must) and socks provided for free, and you can rent a coat for a nominal fee if you are not dressed properly. Be sure to bring water and pack a lunch. You can also buy water and lunch at the top of the funivia before beginning your hike. A truly unforgettable experience!

We did the 3000 m tour since the top crater is closed. I can very much recommend taking this tour. If you come to Sicily it is a must do! Our tourguide Giuseppa A. is a geologist and has profound knowledge about volcanos. During the tour he explained to us how and when the Etna erupts. The tour lasted about 5h and the view was spectacular. My personal highlight was the "valle del bove". Splendid!

A very informative Etna hike. The guide was very informative in English as well as Italian. All equipment which we needed were supplied, such as shoes and helmets. Included the cable car and 4x4 jeep ride up (not down). Communication beforehand with Giuseppe was excellent, he arranged for us to be able to participate at last moment's notice which was a relief.
