Great communication. On time pick up. Guide very knowledgeable. Beautiful views on Mt Etna slopes. Not too strenuous but strong legs an advantage for ascent & decent as terrain gravelly. Sticks and boots available. Take a stick and boots as good for ankles. Also took a walk down a cave. Great sandwiches after at the winery with a glass of wine to try and a desert wine with sesame crackers. Would highly recommend taking this personalised trip. Thank you Ricardo for a wonderful experience for my teenage son and I.

We had a great trip hikking on Mount Etna. Our guide, Roberto, was knowledgeable and clear about the history and the geology about volcanos. He was also entertaining. We learnt a lot and really enjoy the views. We recommend this tour as a safe and informative way to discover Mount Etna
