“From the moment of booking it, to the organised transport through to the guide and the actual climb it was extremely well organised and clear and concise as to what was happening. It was a beautiful day (if a tad windy at the summit!!) but a memory that will stay with myself and my wife for ever. It was my 51st birthday as well so what an amazing way to spend it. THANK-YOU !!!”

“Could not have asked for more — a very professional organisation crowned by a guide absolutely passionate about what he does: Thank you Mary! The way he paced the group for four hours, showing us breathtaking views but avoiding unnecessary risks, all the while dousing us with interesting historical and geological information was, simply remarkable. And if this was not enough, he went out of his way to show us a sample lava tunnel *after* the trek was over and we were back in the base station: He jumped in his personal car and had all the group members follow him in their cars to drive down the mountain to…”

“The trip did not leave the south as planned and I wasn’t sure what to make of this at first. The staff reached out to me immediately and switched to the north side trip and fit me in. It cost an extra 20 Euro and I was sure how it would be but when I arrived it exceeded all expectations. This trip is one of the highlights of my life. I lived and lived every second!”

“Great trip from start to finish, our guide was at the meeting point early to introduce himself and take our details. They supplied all equipment for those that didn’t have any then walked us through the hike, section by section whilst taking through the history of the area.”

“Interesting trip, guide is very friendly and provided many history of Catania and Mt Etna. highly recommended.”

“Fantastic! Our guide Max was very professional and engaging taking us to the summit craters and explaining history and geology of the volcano, all while keeping us alert to the dangers of an active volcano. The hike is strenuous going up so you need to be in somewhat good shape. It’s more challenging on the decent as the soil on the trail is slippery, maybe approx 8 km in total. You will experience an active adventure most people will never see in their lives.”

“Vicenzo was great!! He is a real professional, very knowledgeable about volcanoes and is very patient which makes him a great tourist guide.”

“It was magma-nificent! The tour had a lava-ble sense of humour!”

“Ein perfekter Tag mit Vincenzo als Guide. Super informativ mit witzigen Einlagen. 💯 von 💯 Punkten. Absolute Empfehlung, würden wir wieder buchen”

“It was really nice to see Etna that close and it’s landscape. You learn a lot about a vulcano,you also see marks of last eruption and you can ask a lot of questions and our guide Sandi (hope I spelled his name corectly) answered all of them😉Overall it was a great experiance that you cannot miss while visiting Sicily🙂”

“Niko is an excellent guide with lots of experience and huge knowledge of vulcanoes in general and Etna in particular. As it was our last day in Sicily we did this lighter trail, otherwise we would have choosen a longer and more demanding hike.”

“We really enjoyed our tour! Vincenzo was the perfect guide -- kind, funny and extremely professional. We were so glad to have him taking care of us and ensuring everyone is safe. The hike is not particularly strenuous but a bit tricky. It's important to were suitable trousers!”

“The hike was great! Even better than expected. We got to see two calderas and hiked on a lot of different terrain. The supplies they offer are also very helpful (helmet, shoes, jacket, even pants). Would recommend!”

“First, there were many layers of companies between Viator and our guide. We booked with Viator who booked us with a local company called Ashara who then passed us off to another company called Etna Nord. The communication prior to the hike didn't really prepare us: what to pack and what specifically the hike would be like. Also, the company (Ashara) told us the day before our scheduled hike that we could not go on that day and only gave us the option of two days later. We had to change all our plans for the week. There were 11 others in the group and we had to move slowly…”

“The tour was great! Our tour guide Renato was very well educated and accommodated for us in english. He knew exactly where the great spots were to visit and he he even gave us a beautiful snack during our experience, paired with wine. Would highly recommend if you have Renato as your guide.”
