“Giuseppe was a really great tour guide! Super nice, accommodating, and very knowledgeable about the region. We probably ended up ATVing for 4 hours! So with that in mind, highly suggest putting on sunscreen and/or wearing the appropriate attire. It was raining a good chunk of the day, so we absolutely needed a waterproof jacket. Also definitely recommend wearing gloves! Our hands got pretty frozen at one point because they were just getting rained on nonstop and the wind while driving doesn't help.

4.Mt. Etna on Quad bike 2 hours tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 11 reviews · 2 hours (approx.)

Meet your Italian or English-speaking guide at Piazzale Funivia Etna Sud in Nicolosi, learn the quad basics, then ride through Etna Natural Park, forest tracks, and old extinct craters before visiting the Silvestri Craters. The route suits beginners and ends where it starts.

“We were extremely disappointed. The advert stated the duration was for 6hrs with 2.5hrs driving the quads. We were also told our guide spoke English. All were complete opposite. We were picked up late and only had 20mins to view the small crater. Were advised not to go to the top, which we wanted.”
