I was having a hard time finding a tour company to Mt. Etna that included hiking and a pick up in Toarmina. I happily came to find Etna People. The staff is amazing. They respond to emails promptly. They also promptly answered all questions and concerns about the hike itself, what to wear, dietary restrictions etc. Communication skills were excellent. Our guide Nick was outstanding. So very interesting and knowledgeable. Guided hike to Etna and lava caves did not disappoint. Nick was a wealth of knowledge. While waiting a few minutes for a small group of late tourists he added extra information otherwise not included in the tour. Not a moment was wasted. He also made sure we followed guidelines to maintain safety. Lunch at the winery after the hike was truly delicious and filling. It was top notch. The visit to the Gorge was an added bonus and completed the day. Many thanks to our tour guide Nick for picking us up and dropping off at our hotel also. Thanks to Valeria, Elisa and Giulia for helping us with questions and details and anything else we needed. Would highly recommend this tour company. Thanks for an awesome day!!

Highlight of our week in Sicily between Siracusa and Taormina! Ricardo was a fantastic guide that made us feel welcome, full of knowledge about history, nature, and even short Italian lessons. Highlights were trekking around craters and wading in the gorge, and a delicious lunch.

Hiking around Etna’s craters was both approachable and a great way to understand the volcano and its relationship to the surrounding villages. That was especially apparent when visiting a local winery that directly benefits from the rich volcanic soil. Ricardo was knowledgeable and clearly passionate about his home village in the foothills of Mt. Etna. Visiting a cave on the way up Mt. Etna was a plus. The rock formations of the Alcantara gorge were cool but the water in the gorge was cold enough to discourage anyone in our group from going in. That was the one part of the tour that could probably be skipped. Pro tip: wear the hiking shoes offered by Etna People. It’s dusty slippery up on the craters.
