Fascinating tour with a very knowledgeable guide (Alessio), who answered all our questions expertly. The tasting and lunch at the end of the tour are also worthwhile; definitely worth staying for a meal.
Excellent Guide & Info on Mt. Etna
LHT51, Apr 2025
Our guide, Francesco, was excellent. He is well informed & passionate about sharing information about Mt. Etna. There was another young couple on the tour with us with 2 young children. He included them in the experience so they didn’t get too bored. We definitely recommend taking the tour with this guide.
