This was such a great tour! Giuseppe was an awesome guide! He was knowledgeable, very friendly, and made the day unforgettable! The panino and wine were a nice addition too.

Excellent hike. Dress warm. Views were fantastic. Lucky to see and hear eruptions. Roberto our guide was hilarious. Combine this with vineyard tasting and lunch. Perfect combination.

The trip to Etna was fantastic. We had an excellent guide Rosario, who was extremely knowledgeable and very attentive to our group. Would recommend this tour.

I loved the adventure, the explanations, the cave, and the climbing. I loved the lunch and the people in our small group. It was really nice to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that sometimes it was hard to understand our guide and sometimes he didn’t understand me.

Five years ago our son and his wife took the full day tour with Etna People and raved about it. We decided to take the 6 hour tour which had a smaller group (8 people) and did not include a visit to a vineyard to sample wine. I should mention that Tsarro (Rosario) was an excellent guide who was informative and patient. My wife who lived in Naples as a child has been fascinated with volcanoes ever since. She was in heaven during this tour! I liked it a lot too.

I should mention that the description of this tour mentions having a snack. That description doesn't do justice to the sandwich lunch and wine we were served. I highly recommend this tour.

Amazing trip to Mount Etna for the family with Roberta as our guide. Highly recommend - very informative, made everyone feel part of the group and he adapted it to make it fun for our kids with running down ashy sandy banks. The restaurant was really nice too. Thank you!

A memorable, fun, and informative day on Mt. Etna - thank you for a wonderful time! Our guide Leonardo was experienced and deeply knowledgeable about the geology, geography, and natural history of the volcano. Would definitely recommend this experience.

I would highly recommend Etna People and our guide Ugo in particular for this excursion. Ugo was very knowledgeable about all aspects of volcanoes and his guidance was thorough and easy to understand.

This was a great way to spend time in Sicily. Our guide was awesome -- he really made the experience not just nice for us (with all the historic info and commentary ... learned a lot about volcanos!) but also for my teenage son (he took him running down slopes and such to keep him engaged).

Very worthwhile to go and visit Momma Etna and hike around the various peaks and prior eruptions -- so vast, and beautiful views!

The cave part was ok, and actually the lunch left something to be desired, but for the time we had in Taormina, I am glad that we spent a half day on this tour.

First our guide was exceptional however we did not go to Mount Etna. This was also advertised as a casual walk. If you are not a hiker this walk is probably not for you. There were lots of elevation changes on very slippery slopes. Easy to fall.
