Amazing Mt Etna

Published on Oct, 2024

Great tour. Amazing sites from the top. Smoke still coming out of the craters. I highly recommend this excursion.

Poor weather, but still a great experience

Published on Oct, 2024

Some parts of the tour weren't available to do because of the poor weather conditions but that was no fault of the tour company who kept us informed throughout and were very informative.

Amazing

Published on Sep, 2024

Walking around the top of mount Etna. The views were amazing and you felt like you were on Mars! I’m afraid of heights and it was a little high so be aware of that on your trip if it’s a thing for you too!

Excellent trip

Spectacular Mount Etna

Published on Jun, 2024

Best part was standing between two craters on the ridge. Mind-blowing even without a serving of lava.
