Beautiful experience, despite the unfavorable weather. Rich in emotions thanks to the experience of the guide Ernesto, who made the day very pleasant.
Great experience

I really enjoyed this morning tour. Our guide Alessio had the right equipment for everyone, sharing his enthusiasm about the diversity of the mountain, the volcano, the flora and fauna and the history in every way and infecting us with a lot of knowledge. This very vivid time has flown by and I would definitely recommend it. Is your money more than worth it.
