Bella esperienza, da provare secondo me. Guida presente dall'inizio alla fine. Tutto ben organizzato e tutte le varie fasi sono interessanti (ovvio non la degustazione).
Accessibile a quasi tutti.

Escursione prenotata con le Guide Etna Sud. È stata una delle esperienze più belle mai provate. Le nostre guide Emanuele e Orazio sono state fantastiche, ci hanno accompagnato e hanno arricchito la gita con spiegazioni sulla geologia del territorio e la storia delle precedenti eruzioni, comprese esperienze vissute da loro stessi. La salita è fattibile anche se in alcuni tratti un pochino impegnativa. Purtroppo non potendo fare l'escursione sui crateri sommità abbiamo optato per l'escursione Etna 3000 che culmina nel punto più alto raggiungibile dove le guide ci hanno fatto fermare per un pranzo al sacco vista Etna fumante (che ci ha anche regalato un bello sbuffo!!)
Discesa divertentissima sul canalone in un ambiente lunare, sembra finto da quanto è bello.
La rifarei mille volte!

Quello di cui si occupano queste persone è solo relativo il trasporto, ovverosia ti accompagnano dal tuo albergo al rifugio sapienza.
Non c’è nessun tour guidato, quando sei arrivato a 2700 m ti accolgono delle guide del posto (lo fanno con tutti, sono delle guide preposte alla sicurezza del vulcano che ti forniscono una breve spiegazione di pochi minuti).
La nostra visita e durata 25 minuti, abbiamo fatto un giro veloce e siamo dovuti scendere per tornare a casa.
Abbiamo speso 270 euro (in due persone), esperienza pessima!!! Vi consiglio di affidarvi a “get your guide”, persone molto più serie ed affidabili.
P.S ovviamente si paga in contanti perché il POS non era a disposizione…
