★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,241 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $71

“There are two separate vans for the trip - one with a guide and one with a driver (that doesn't act as a guide). The second van (which we were in) was given 3 walkie talkies in order to hear the guide. Two were simply saying 'please change battery' so the van was left with one for all 8 people to listen to. At best we were able to catch every 3rd word due to static and sharing one walkie talkie.”

“This was a great trip! Our guide Lorenzo collected us promptly from Syracuse and drove us in comfort to Mount Etna, during which time he chatted about Mount Etna and life in Sicily, which was so interesting and informative. The Etna experience was amazing - I would definitely recommend the optional extra of going up higher in the cable car. Overall, the day was very relaxed and Lorenzo made sure we could enjoy things at our own pace and schedule, rather than rushing us around or adhering to strict times everywhere. The trip is kept to small groups (we were 6 in total) and felt very tailored and personal and…”

“Fantastic tour to Mount Etna with Fabrizio. He was extremely knowledgeable about all things related to volcanos and the surrounding flora, and took us to some areas off the tourist track. There was some walking up and down ash, which was tricky in runners- recommend wearing walking boots. The only issue was that the tour started in Trecastagni, which was tricky to access by public transport, but Fabrizio was extremely accommodating and took us to a nearby village for our bus back as they were being diverted due to a festival. Would highly recommend this trip with Fabrizio- we all loved it!Read more”
