Starting from Catania, one our guide will lead you along a beautiful naturalistic path, while explaining the origins of our Volcano. At 2000 mt you will catch cable car to reach 2500 mt and then on a 4x4 vehicle you will go up 2950 mt. Alpine guides will show you the beautiful landscape of the base of the summit craters seeing at 1 km of distance the main crater.
* In winter time, in case the trails are covered by a thick layer of snow (usually from January to March), part of the excursion will take place using snowshoes and sticks. It could be possible that you will go on the snow cat vehicle with an extra cost of 30 euro per person.
Then, join with us the visit of a cave of volcanic origins with all the equipment provided by us.
At lunchtime enjoy an outdoor picnic made of Sicilian typical street food, water, red wine and typical sweets. During winter time, the outdoor picnic could be substituted by lunch in a Chalet with pizza, because of the low temperatures.

Great tour, just as described. Flavia was really helpful booking us in and answering questions and Andrea was our tour guide and he was really knowledgeable, interesting and funny. Lunch was amazing and plenty of wine!

One of the best guided tours I have done. Our tour guide was a really passionate volcanologist who gave us a lot of information about the volcano and the surrounding environment. The views were absolutely spectacular and we had a nice picnic with traditional Italian sandwiches at the end. Would highly recommend this if you want to visit Etna and learn more about it. The trek itself is not that difficult so anyone can access it.

We didn’t really know what to expect but we couldn’t have imagined a better guide. Danilo was very passionate, enthusiastic and easy-going, which made the entire day to a big success! The tour was interesting, exciting and sometimes even a little adventurous - a perfect combination. The excellent weather conditions were a great addition to this unforgettable experience.

Although our tour was restricted to the lower levels due to high winds, our guides extensive knowledge in both geology and biology (he was a young biologist), plus
the excitement of climbing down into a lava tube (ladder also available for us 2 oldies!)
Most impressed with the strong rapour the guide grew and maintained throughout the tour, that encouraged questions and discussions that resonated and continued within the group.
Everyone came away with both a greater understanding of Etna's geology, flora & fauna, happy memories of a unique experience and great day out with fun like minded people!

Mimmo welcomed us punctually since the morning, guiding us through stories and routes on the most evocative Etna. Highly recommended!

Great trip! Our guide was fantastic, nice and very well informed. His English was perfect. He knows everything about Etna, summits, all stones and plants. It was one of the most interesting tour I ever been. Thank you🙂

Incredible experience, the Etna is an amazing place to visit. As said, it's an easy tour, we may I prefer more trekking time (the total walking time is about two hours, in two times). But the views were incredible from there, both of the Etna and the Sicily panorama. Our guide, Andrea, a young biologist, was very friendly and could answer all our questions about the Etna. Thanks again !

This trip was through Etna People from Taormina. It was our second trip with them and was as amazing as the first.
Daniele was our guide this time. It was a small minibus trip with 8 people.
We really appreciated Daniele's talk on the way to Etna. He told us about the history of Etna and it's various eruptions and the impact on the people living there (he grew up in an Etna village).
The trip was very comprehensive. We first visited a lava tube so that Daniele could explain about types of Volcanoes, how the lava moved and the structures left behind. We then got into a monster truck for a drive all the way up to the observatory at the top (2950m). We saw craters from several old and more recent eruptions and could clearly see the steaming main crater at the top. Lots of great photo opportunities! As we progressed Daniele pointed out the different ages of lava flows and also described the hour by hour impact of the 2002 eruption and how it wiped out hotels and restaurants near the top.
We had a delicious lunch at a local winery (vegans well catered for). We tried 2 wines plus almond wine with desert.
We finished with a river walk at Alcantara gorge with its basalt columns (and 'refreshing' water).
Another great day. Big thanks to Daniele and Etna People for making it special.
