“We truly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience the Etna volcano in a way that feels very comfortable and safe. Our tour guide Gaetano has drove us around all the best spots and provided us with a dose of knowledge about the volcano. Not only was it educational, but also very entertaining. We got to experience the cave with the flashlights and also taste some Sicilian snacks and wine. The perfect ending of the whole trip was getting to see the sunset from a truly amazing spot at 2000mt. If you get Gaetano as your guide you will for sure not be bored ;))”

However, older people may not be able to do it as it is a slight climb.”
