It was a fantastic!! An experience of a lifetime. We’re so glad we decided to do this tour. We was picked up by Samuela, best tour guide by the way, highly recommended. So informative. Guided us all the way up to mount Etna, then to a cave. Then to a shop were we was able to taste some produce grown from Etna’s healthy soil. Wonderful experience!! highly worth doing.

We were picked up by our guide Salvo from our selected hotel, and due to a little traffic he kept us well informed of his ETA. our family of four, with two young children (6y and 9y olds) enjoyed it immensely. Salvo was very nice, although not as talkative or forthcomming with information on the trip as we hoped, he was always happy to answer all our questions. The cable car and 4x4 buses at the summit were great and there was a short 500m walk at the top with a slight incline on uneven rock sand, which was fine for our family. We saw large craters and were as close to the smoking summit as you would like to get. The temperature at the top was fine, but the two children felt the cold quickly, so take warm coats and they will be fine. The trip to the lava cave was short but enjoyable, it was quite a small cave. The kids enjoyed the food tasting of honey, wine, olives and oil. All in all we have some great memories. The price for under 11s for the cable car and 4x4, was cheaper at €50 rather than the adult cost of €78. There is a resturant at the top of the cable car also, which was nice. I would recommend this excursion for you families wanting the full Etna experience without a lot of hiking.

Great experience! Our guide Samuela was exceptional for her very clear and exhaustive explanations and for her skill in involving even our children. We also had ample availability for the date change. Highly recommended!

Mount Etna was absolutely breathtaking. Our guide Lucia was so informative and passionate. We felt completely at ease and feel we made a friend. We learnt a great deal about Mamma Etna and shared our Yorkshire English 🤣❤️.
