in spite of the restriction of 3k altitude (placed upon all tour groups) nino (our guide) managed to show us many interesting things and made sure it was a great experience

We had a clear day on Etna and a very good guide, Vincenzo. A very impressive 4 hour walk from 2500 meter (upper station of the funicular) to 3000 meter and back. Along beautiful craters. Vincenzo told us a lot about Etna and vulcanology. An unforgettable experience. Good to know that the price of the funicular (50 euro pp) is not included. The walk is not very entiring, but you experience the altitude. The guide looked very well after the group.

We loved to be lead by our guide Simone. Very considerate and one could see that he is really engaged by his profession and eager to answer any questions, definitely not someone who just does his job but burns for his profession. The group dynamic was good, the equipment available was appropriate and uncomplicated to obtain as well to return. Last but not least, the tour itself was breathtaking, offering stunning views at the steaming mountaintop of mount Etna. We were very fortunate to get some beautifull weather on the mountain, as it was forecast to be much worse the day before.

We were very lucky in as much as Etna actually erupted 2 days after we stood on the top looking down into the crater. An absolutely amazing experience and box ticked for sure.

We booked a guided tour to the top of Etna in August 2024. Just before the trip we were informed that the central crater could not be visited due to the high risk of eruption, so we were not sure if the tour was worth it. But when the tour started we were proved wrong. Our guides were Giuseppe and Simone. They both did a great job and managed to capture our attention and interest in the volcano right from the start. We learned a lot about the history and the volcanic processes. We climbed to an altitude of 3000 meters and were able to enjoy a wonderful view over the old and recently formed craters. At the top we could inhale the gases coming from the lava, feel the heat of the lava stones and have a nice picknip at the top. Last but not least, we got some local (secret) tips about the Sicilian food and drinks from Giuseppe. I would highly recommend to book and do this tour if you are visiting Sicily.
