A fantastic trip with a great guide Claudia, she was very knowledgeable, made the day fun and spoke brilliant English. We saw some great sites and got amazing photos, we were lucky enough to see Etna blowing smoke rings ( amazing). Exploring the lava cave was really interesting too. All in all a very worth while trip and thoroughly enjoyed the day. 5⭐️

This trip was fantastic, well organised, very interesting and the guide Claudia was brilliant and great fun, her English was very good also. Some amazing sites including Etna blowing smoke rings, amazing. The cave tour was really exciting and even saw a bat asleep. Fantastic trip and definitely worth it.

Amazing tour with Giovanni! Unfortunately we were unable to go into some of the lava tubes because the fire department was there, Giovanni improvised to allow us to make a different stop to see some. I loved to see the craters from eruptions and learned so much!! Sunset is for sure the time to go because of how beautiful and calm it is during that time. We even stopped to visit a local honey and wine shop. We met at the info point and they dropped me off at the bus station for my trip home. Ludovico was amazing at communicating time and place of the place. Even offering a few options to ensure we were able to make it to the volcano even with the holiday weekend and weather.

We had a fabulous trip to Mount Etna, they contacted me as soon as I had booked it to arrange where and when it suited me to be picked up, I was arriving into Catania by bus and Ludovico was very helpful in advising me on where to get the bus to, the tour guide picked us up and was very knowledgeable about the history of Catania and everything to do about Mount Etna, she was so enthusiastic about explaining everything and you could tell it was her passion and not just her job. We stopped off at a honey and olive business to sample their produce and then proceeded on to visit a cave that had been created by an eruption. We finished off stopping at a crater that we could walk around and she even had some wine and cookies for us while we admired the stunning views all around us. It was a very enjoyable tour, great value for money and I would highly recommend it .

We had a brilliant trip to see Mount Etna, when we booked it initially Ludovico contacted us to confirm our details and was very helpful in arranging a suitable place to pick us up as we were travelling into Catania by bus, the tour guide Monica picked us up and we started our journey with some facts about Catania, before heading up towards Mt Etna, she had a great knowledge and was so enthusiastic about everything to do with the volcano, you could tell it was not just her job but her passion, we stopped off at a lovely business that made and sold honey, olives and olive oil. She then brought us to see a cave created by an eruption and we finished off with a walk about a crater, which was spectacular. She even gave us wine and cookies to eat while we admired the beautiful surroundings. It was a brilliant day and was great value for money, I would highly recommend it.
