    We climbed in, up and out of several of Mount Etna craters, and it was truly amazing. The views, the hike, the adventure I would gladly do it all again and again.

    So much fun. Perfectly translated into English which was amazing. Our game master was brilliant and we had a great time. Very much recommend if your visiting Catania and looking for something exciting to do. We did as a couple but would be great for more people as well.

    We booked the tour Escursione Etna Natura e Sapori and it was super worth it! Our tour guide Lorenzo picked us up from Catania airport which was very convenient and then we headed off to Etna with three other people. We were luck to find snow on Etna - it was a truly amazing experience up there. Lorenzo was ever so helpful, gave just the right amount of information. He recommendation visiting Enoteca dell'Etna and it was worth it. We tasted different olive oils, wines, liquors and jams. All was genuinely good since the produce the products themselves. All in all a highly recommended tour!

    We had an amazing half-day 4x4 tour. Our driver and guide Samuel(a) was fantastic, very funny and knowledgeable, as was the main trekking guide Steve. The sights were incredible and the chalet in the woods where we stopped for refreshments was great. Thank you Go-Etna.

    It was an amazing trip which took 6 hours, even better than expected and I was quite excited to go sailing first the first time! Very nice people on this boat, delicious food and prosecco, sailing instructions, swim stops, a lot of flexibility. Toilet om board, even pillows to sit more comfortably. We were allowed to move at the whole boat and could also enjoy the view from its front. Beautiful landscape and also a motor since at first there was no wind - later we could sail as planned. I recommend this relaxing and beautiful tour with its very gentle guides to anyone.

    Our tour from 3 Jan 24 on Mount Etna Northside in a small group ( 6 + guide) was fantastic, very impressive and we must honestly say that what we saw, the destructive and powerful force of this nature, but also the same irrepressible will to come back, touched our soul! Great, varied landscape pictures, snow, barren and green areas, wide views - simply crazy!
    And Our Guide Guiseppe! A careful, very well-prepared, competent and attentive guide who is familiar and closely connected with this and his homeland and its nature. We would go hiking with him again at any time. It was really fun and also Alcantara falls.

    Conclusion: Highly recommended hiking tour!!!

    Fabrizio was absolutely amazing. We were a group of 11 so we had the tour to ourselves. We never felt unsafe and Fabrizio explained everything so well and with a passion. It's not a job when you love what you do and Fabrizio was really just awesome. We were super lucky with the weather on our excursion so I can't make too many suggestions, as our trip was really perfect in every way!!! Grazia Fabrizio!!

    I booked the sunset tour to experience a little bit the volcano as i came just for a couple of days.I can say for sure i had fun.Stefano,our guide was the humourous type of person, which led us to have a memorable experience and learn some interesting information regarding Etna and more.Unfortunately,we couldn't see the sunset because of clouds,but not really a reason to feel disappointed(can't control the weather :P).
    Just a suggestion for visitors: Don't forget your jacket it's quite colder up there.

    Clio is a pro; she explained everything to us beautifully (simply, briefly, clearly), helped with everything, and we really enjoyed our dive with her. Equipment looks new, place clean, water is clear and full of life :)
    We already have the next one planned on the same spot :) Thank you!

    One could not ask for a better guide than Carmelo! His geological and naturalist background provides an in-depth insight to the Mt Etna ecosystem. Carmelo shared this information in such a way to capture our attention as we walked through forests and craters off the beaten path away from the mass tourism offered by other tours. We chose to do a private tour with four people. Carmelo is an excellent conversationalist. We all enjoyed his company as well as the tour he created for us. Highly recommend this tour.

    We went to a wine tasting at Terra Costantino, it's worth trying. Our guide and driver Fernando was kind, knowledgeable and had good recommendations, he was great company. Ask for him if you want to have a good time
