Etna was beautiful as expected but the guide was neither nice nor good. Very expensive tour as well.

Fab trip which included exactly what we were looking for. Bus to cable car, then cable car to top, then a walk around some craters and great viewing experience.

We had a fantastic trip to Mount Etna with a very useful and informative guide and a driver who managed to negotiate all of the tight turns in the roads between Taormina and Etna. Arriving at the base camp, we were led to the cable car, then to the jeeps to take us to the high craters, where we could walk around and hear from another guide with relevant information on the history of Etna. Overall, an amazing trip helped by each of the guided, and we would thoroughly recommend this trip to others!

The bus broke down causing delayed arrival to Mt Etna, no tour guide on replacement bus, poor description of the half day tour as had to wait for all full day tour folks to return before leaving Mt Etna. Half day tour folks ended up arriving late standing around in gas station during the morning waiting for repairs or a new bus. Did not get back to Taormina hotel until after 6PM for what was advertised as a half day tour. The plans we had for that afternoon were lost. The half day tour of Mt Etna is not recommended and is poorly advertised.

The tour was really good, easy pick up at the main Taormina bus station. The tour guide was informative throughout the journey. It was good to be left to walk alone around the craters at 1900ft. I felt it was plenty of time to be left to walk, check the shops and grab something to eat/drink before getting back on the coach. Easy pick up later back to Taormina and again tour guide provided good information on the trip back to Taormina. Would definitely recommend.
