The "Etna Tour from Syracuse" experience will begin with the pick-up at the structure that hosts you. Once you reach the Rifugio Sapienza (1920 meters above sea level), you will have two opportunities: you can choose whether to go for a simple trekking along one of the Paths of the Etna Park, up to 2000 meters or, alternatively, you can choose the "Etna high altitude" option .
In this second case, with extra costs to be paid locally, you will reach an altitude of 2504 meters using the Etna cableway and with special 4×4 off-road vehicles, you will reach an altitude of 2900 meters above sea level.
After leaving the Sapienza Refuge, the tour will continue in Zafferana Etnea: the city of honey. Here, you can taste typical local products and discover the secrets of honey processing.

Marco was a friendly and fun companion throughout the day and very informative.
He has an in depth knowledge of Etna and Sicily in gender. And also about the behaviour of bees which made the honey and wine tasting even more fascinating.
He also went the extra mile sending directions to my phone for other towns we wanted to see - perfect viewpoints and places to park etc.
Thank you Marco!

I had a fantastic tour to Mt. Etna today with Marco including stops for coffee, lunch and tastings (honey, olive oil and wine). He is the best guide I ever had. I learned much about the Sicilian cuisine, culture, history and habits. Don't miss that experience during your stay and thanks a lot for a wonderful day.

We booked on invidual tour with Marco. He took us to the Etna and a couple of others craters within the area. My ten years old received a lot information and enjoyed the entire trip very much. We can only recommend booking a trip with Marco the trip was its money worth.
