Ideal way to get a taste of Etna
Ian
, Aug 2021
We can highly recommend this tour. Enzo, our guide, was both highly informative and personable, discussing extensively not only only information about Etna, but also about life and in region, with a very personal touch. We were able to walk around craters and enter caves, and sunset is an ideal time, both because of the sublime lighting and calm atmosphere.

Highlight!

My husband and I loved visiting Etna. We sampled local products, walked through a cave, and saw multiple sunsets as we kept walking higher and higher. My only complaint would be that I booked a tour in English, and we ended up being the only two English speaking people in a French language tour which left us isolated from the group. However, I would still recommend this tour.

My father and I greatly enjoyed our time visiting Etna. We sampled local products, visited a cave, and saw a beautiful sunset over the Sicilian landscape. We were even shown a nature reserve near Etna. It was one of the highlights of our journey to Sicily. Would highly recommend!

My wife and I took the Etna Sunset tour May 22, 2017. Enjoyed it very much. The half-day itinerary, including a stop to taste local wines and foods was just right. Our guide, Santi, with Etna Tribe, was informative and engaging and made the drive to and from Etna most enjoyable.
