The hiking tour to the vulcano Etna has exceeded my high expectations by far. Especially because of our super open and warm guide Luca. He gave us very detailed infos about the vulcano, the geological processes and much more. His years of experience became very clear here. We were conditionally a very mixed group and Luca has always ensured that all come along well. One of my most breathtaking experiences so far and highly recommended.

The hike to Etna was amazing! Our guide Marco was very knowledgeable and we had a great time. The landscape was impressive and breathtaking. It was an unforgettable experience and definitely with the money! The hike was fine if you are a little in shape but over all not too demanding. The communication of with Etna Est was also excellent. They always replyed within minutes on WhatsApp and they lent us shoes and if we wanted also windproof jackets. Simply great experience!
