The Etna sunset excursion is one of the most suggestive summer tours, as it allows you to visit, aboard our 4 × 4, some of the most interesting places on Etna until sunset. You will admire the Valle del Bove, an immense amphitheater that tells the geological history of the volcano. You will walk on the edge of some side craters where you can admire the panorama from 2000 meters and the extinguished lava flows of various eras. Finally, you will admire the colors of the Etna sunset while enjoying a sweet aperitif based on almond and raisin wine.
IMPORTANT NOTES: If you have a car we recommend that you reach our meeting point in Trecastagni in MontataGrande where you will find free and safe parking.
LANGUAGE: During the high season there may be overbooking of reservations for one language. In this case, a tour leader speaking the selected language will be guaranteed in the scheduled stages of the tour.

Such beautiful views in the evening. Our guide, Luca, was so knowledgeable and personable. He provided us with a lot of information about Mt Etna and its surrounding community. His passion for the area made you fall in love with it too.

Wow, one of our most memorable experiences in life. To be on Etna whilst she erupted was mind blowing. Our guide, Luca was the best and would have stayed all night, so full of passion and knowledge. He made our experience unforgettable. Thank you

Highly recommend, brilliant stories both from a mythology and scientific perspective. Etna was actually active and erupting as we were there, you could hear the rumble as well as see the smoke - all very safe! Drink watching the sunset was a great to finish the day off. Would recommend taking food as there are no options to eat and you don't get back til quite late and warm clothes it's much chiller as you get further up than the +35 degrees Celsius in the cities!

Only reason it wasn’t a 5 is because the “jeep” in “jeep tour” was broken. So it wasn’t much of a jeep experience.
We were all stuck in a small suv type of vehicle.
Allesio, our guide, was wonderful. Very educated on volcanos, which I appreciate being a science teacher. My kids-not so much. They weren’t too keen on explanations.
The sunset was amazing. Great spot. Would recommend.

Beautiful and evocative tour of Etna! My husband, my children and I were pleasantly struck by the beauty of the places we visited, in particular seeing flowers and plants reborn and sprout in places where lava and heat seem to have erased everything is the miracle of life that continues!
We are very grateful to our super guide Fabrizio, who was able to accompany us, providing simple but precise explanations!
He even recommended a great place to eat "la Siciliana"!
Super recommended for those of us who travel with children!

Amazing experience, you will enjoy every second of this tour. There is a lot of learning of Etna (and volcanoes) that you get from the tour guide. Views are amazing, the cave experience is awesome, and at the end the tour you will enjoy some local delights and wine. They rent jackets for 5 EUR, I recommend to rent in case you are not traveling in fall-winter.
You can book the tour in Spanish too. Carmelo is an amazing tour guide and driver.

We had a fantastic tour with Luca, our guide, who was so knowledgeable, fun, and kind. He picked us up in Taormina and drove us halfway up Mt. Etna, chatting all the time and answering all of our questions. We then "hiked" - only one part of this walk was really steep, but still pretty easily doable for us (we are 65 and 75 years old) up to a crater and saw the incredible view of the coast of Sicily. After that, we drove to the caves, or "lava tube" area, and went down under. Luca shared his jacket with my husband. It was cold in the tube, but we were only in there about 20 minutes. It was never claustrophobic and it was not hard to climb back out, even though it looked like it might be. Then we got back into Luca's 4x4 and he drove us through some very rough terrain near a lava field (fun!). We ended the tour at sunset with some sweet wine and Italian cookies that Luca had brought for us. The scenery was beautiful! Luca then drove us back down the mountain and dropped us off. The tour was perfect for us. And we saw only a few other people. We had the caves completely to ourselves. Luca said the morning tours are much more crowded. Highly recommend this tour, with Luca. He clearly loves what he does, and we enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you, Luca!

This was a truly amazing tour. We had Rubin and Aron- these two were so knowledgeable, kind, fun, exceptional guides. We have done many tours but nothing compared to this one with these two brothers.
They even celebrated a birthday with us with a gift on the flanks of the Etna. By the end of the tour we left with such an understanding as well as two new friends.
You must do this tour with these two! You will be thrilled.
