VerifiedArmando SETNA AFFASCINANTE Grazie a Giuseppe, in una calda soleggiata giornata di febbraio, abbiamo apprezzato le particolarità dell'Etna. Luoghi affascinanti ci sono stati presentati con dovizia di particolari e notizie storiche, con cortesia e professionalità.VerifiedPat MechelePrima keuze om de Etna te bezoeken. We reden met deze maatschappij de Etna aan de noordzijde naar boven. Dit is sowieso minder druk, minder toeristisch maar daarom zeker niet minder spectaculair. En dit begeleid door prima gidsen. Het was een schitterende ervaring.VerifiedJonathanMount Etna with Etnalcantara We had a great day with Aron, our tour guide. He was extremely knowledgable about Mt Etna and the surrounding area. We took the option to go to 3000m on Mt Etna and would thoroughly recommend this option. All in all a great half day trip!VerifiedLynn LIncredible experience What a fantastic day trip with Aron our guide to Etna Volcano and a beautiful local winery. We learned all about the geology and history of the region, and found Aron to be an absolute delight. Our day was extra memorable and special.VerifiedJoey LFun trek to Etna Our tour guide, Luca, was amazing! Although there was an itinerary, he gave us the ability to change things - spend more time on one excursion vs another. He was very knowledgeable of the region and geophysics - it was a great balance of information and answering our questions. I highly recccomend!VerifiedChielA tour by Alfio is what you need! Alfio was the perfect guide for us. He knows everything about the landscape, the plants and of course the immense Etna. Interesting to see and experience the scale of this area. Thank you Alfio!VerifiedRasmus GGreat tour and the best guide ever This was and absolutely amazing tour and the main reason for this was our brilliant guide Giacomo. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about Etna and volcanic activities. He was attentive to our needs, very good at English, humorous, friendly and smart. He was everything you needed to make the 7 hours both comfortable, interesting and fun. Thank you for a great tour Giacomo.VerifiedBruno LAmazing Trips to ETNA We enjoyed two amazing tours organized by ETNALCANTARA. The first one was the "Sun-Set-Tour" in a medium size group (2-3 hours), whereas the second one was a privately guided tour with Domenico (5-6 hours)! The later was certainly one of the top highlights of our trip to Sicily! Domenico was a great guide and showed us amazing landscapes supported by interesting explanations about the volcan, craters and much more! We can recommend ETNALCANTARA without any limitations!VerifiedHans KMust do Due to our guide Giacomo there is no particular part we liked the most. The combination of the scenery and his knowledge and personality it was from the start to the end very educational, with humour and attention for all groupmembers.VerifiedGloriawild Etna Delle volte cerchiamo posti lontani per vedere luoghi nuovi e non riserviamo la giusta attenzione alle bellezze locali. Salire in quota e sentire da vicino la voce "da muntagna" È davvero un'esperienza straordinaria. Il tour che parte da Piano Provenza è ben organizzato. All' info point Carmelina e Daniela sono estremamente puntuali e gentili. Vincenzo la guida che trasuda di amore per il vulcano è un giovane molto simpatico e preparato. Non lasciamo che siano solo gli stranieri a godere di questo paesaggio. Il tour è perfetto anche per i ragazzini.

Il a su nous faire partager sa passion et nous initier au fonctionnement des volcans. Organisation bien huilée pour profiter d'un superbe coucher de soleil.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Sjoerd DrijfhoutReis naar 3000 meter hoogte is een geweldige ervaring! De Etna Sunset tour geboekt. Aan de hand van (praktische) informatie en enthousiaste verhalen wordt het verhaal van de Etna verteld. Onze gids sprak vloeiend Engels en had alle ruimte voor extra vragen. Het vervoer is zo comfortabel mogelijk, maar misschien wat intens voor sommige met wagenziekte. Op de top kan het flink koud zijn. Een jas (meenemen of huren) is zeker aan te raden.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Danielle MundayThank you to Alfio and the team for a wonderful tour of Mount Etna. Seeing the moonscapes and craters was an extraordinary experience. Very well organised trip, and we are very happy we visited. Thanks again!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Esther VeldhoenVery nice and interesting tour. Learned a lot about the vulcano or actually the vulcano system of Etna. Full day tour with good stops. Have a good eye for the customer and can adjust the tour a bit to your liking (lunch stop, hiking more or less etc). Small group size of max 6 persons, so you never feel crowded. Would really recommend.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Jacob AbramsYesterday I went on a Mount Etna tour with Aron. We went up around halfway up the mountain because the top was smothered with clouds and fog. As a quite curious person, I asked lots of questions which Aron was happy to answer. He made sure that I had a good time and kept me safe.
