The trip was excellent and exceeded our expectations. Our guide Gianfranco picked us up at our hotel right on schedule and stopped at several great viewing locations on the way to and from Mt. Etna. He was very knowledgeable about Mt. Etna and also gave us a lot of great information about Sicily and other things to see and do in the area. I would highly recommend this excursion and Gianfranco as a guide.

Had a lovely trip! We were picked up in Central Taormina and stopped on the way at a wonderful viewpoint. Very knowledgeable guide who showed us around a cave and many other places on our way up to Etna. Then we walked around on the volcano and saw huge craters and old lava flows. It was wonderful! :)

There are no words to describe how incredible it was. It was spectacular. The views and the information about Etna was very detailed. Our tour was a private tour and our guide Marcello was unbelievable. He is super professional, very kind and sweet. We traveled with 2 kids one an almost 2yr old and it was very hard to go up the Etna mountain with him but he waited for us patiently. My nine year old doesn’t like to get dirty but thanks to Marcello with his kindness and patience she ended up playing with the sand. We’re extremely happy and it’s an experience that we will never forget. Thank you so much Marcello. Worth all the money paid and highly recommend.
