★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Not to be missed!
AdamGNorton, October 2026
I can't speak more highly about the quality of this excursion. Anyone visiting Sicily should consider this bucket list adventure. Our guide Lorenzo was brilliant. He picked us up right on time at 9.00 and for the next eight hours he kept us entertained, amused, informed and guided through the day. We started with a visit to a cave where we went underground into a tunnel carved out by a larva flow. Hard hats were provided!. Then on to a honey farm where we tasted several delicious honeys, some blended with fruit. My favourite - the sweet chestnut honey. Then on to Mt Edna. At that point the party divided. Four of us elected to take the cable car and 4 x4 further up the volcano. This cost quite a bit more but it was worth every penny for a once in lifetime event. The other four stayed with Lorenzo and he kept them busy by all accounts. We were guided for quite a strenuous walk up th volcano - perhaps not for those with any health issues or sufferers of vertigo. After meeting up with the rest of our party we went on to a vineyard for a modest wine and food tasting. We were also able to buy lunch dishes which were delicious. After the opportunity to buy wine and more honey - with no pressure to purchase - Lorenzo returned us to our hotels etc through a torrential downpour! A very memorable day.

Claudia_M, October 2026
I thought it was a good tour, especially thanks to Giuseppe, our guide, who brought all the good vibes! When you arrive at the base of Etna, there is the option to take a hike in the surrounding area with the guide, or take the cable car and go up to 2500 m or even hire a guide to reach near the summit. The decision to make will depend on the time available when you arrive at the base.

Great experience
nikolaz692, October 2026
Pick up went smoothly and we were dropped off at the same spot. Our guide Lorenzo was amazing, told us many facts about Mount Etna, didn’t rush anyone and answered every question. Overall the tour was great, didn’t feel too short or too long, the hike itself wasn’t as hard as we expected.
★★★★★Viator review
The climb up Etna was...
Nicholas_R, September 2026
The climb up Etna was pretty strenuous so people should be aware. The up charge for the ski lift should be noted in advance as it is not cheap. There was not enough time to have a bite to eat either before you go to the top or when you return, given the amount of time spent on the ski lift line and the line for the bus up the mountain. And it was pretty cold up on the mountain so people should be prepared for that.
