Our experience with this guided tour was amazing! We were part of group of 6 people together with guide Danilo. We got picked up at our hotel in Catania first, drove to one of caves, then to Etna with enough time to reach 2900 meters mark, enjoyed local delicacies and then had a nice chill at Alcantara valley. All of that throughout the day was accompanied by great stories about Sicily, Catania, Etna and surrounding towns. It was great value for the price we paid, because in exchange we got day full of new impressions and unbelievable natural sightseeings. Also chance to spend a day with knowledgeable local person can’t be appreciated enough, because you get lot of information and hints about Catania. Me and my girlfriend really enjoyed this tour and highly advise it to everyone wishing to hike Etna and explore surrounding areas.
Fabulous tour. Tour guide Julia was professional, fun and knowledgable. The bus was a few minutes late to arrive, but we made it to all our destinations. The tour went by quickly, as it was designed to jam-pack a lot of destinations into one day. This tour is for a sample of the region and not to meditate on it. If you want a glimpse of Etna and Alcantara just to see it but not embrace it fully, then pick this tour. We had limited time when we visited Sicily and needed a tour like this just to see it.
We loved this tour. Our guide Giulia was fantastic! If you book this tour we hope you get her as your guide. She was very knowledgeable about volcanos and the surrounding area. She was also very pleasant and fun.
Great tour. Great guide. Thank you Enzo!
Verry nice tour with a verry good guide! The only thing we would have like to know before we go is you will need a swimsuit at the Alcantara river and some water shoes as well since the river is on some rock and it hurts the feet! It was a verry nice tour! Thank you for the experience!
