Tony is a fabulous guide! He is so passionate about his job, and it really made for a fabulous tour. We were a group of 8, and he was awesome from start to finish. It was very educational, Tony is funny, informed, knowledgeable, and patient. He is truly a great guide. Best tour by far! You cannot go wrong with Etna People or Tony.

We had a great full-day experience exploring Etna, enjoying a wine tasting and visiting the Alcantara Canyon. Our driver was also our guide and shared lots of interesting information throughout the day, especially during our time on Etna. The volcano was active during our visit, with some steam and ash, which made the experience even more interesting. We walked around the volcanic landscape, saw areas shaped by previous lava flows and had plenty of time to explore and take photos. Trekking shoes and jackets were provided, which was very helpful. Afterwards, we stopped for lunch and a wine tasting. Both the food and the wine were really good and it was a lovely, relaxing part of the day. We finished the tour at the Alcantara Canyon, which was absolutely beautiful. The water was incredibly cold, but the scenery and the canyon itself were spectacular and definitely worth experiencing. It was a very well-rounded day with a nice mix of nature, local food, wine and sightseeing. We really

We really enjoyed this tour! Our guide was lovely, and very knowledgeable about Mt Etna. The winery lunch and tasting was absolutely delicious! I think you could do Etna by yourself but the added historical context and the included lunch make this a good value!

We absolutely loved the Full Day Mt. Etna & Alcantara experience. Mt. Etna was amazing; our guide Daniele was “ awesome”. He was polite; very knowledgeable and very funny. We had a great group of 8 people (perfect group size). Daniele made the day interesting & fun. It was a 10/10 experience- I would highly recommend this excursion and ask for Daniele as your tour guide!!!!!

Travelling in a group of seven, we had an amazing full day tour to Mt Etna and Alcantra gorge with Roberto S. Our entire group agreed the day, which also included lunch, was fantastic and it was made all the more special due to Roberto's knowledge of geology, culture and history. He was friendly, informative and funny, the perfect guide for our group and this kind of tour. We all had a great day.

We absolutely loved this tour and Toni was a fantastic guide. He made us feel welcome and comfortable from the start. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, funny and personable, and his passion really came through. He explained so much more than just Mount Etna - we also learned about the local culture, food and way of life, which made the experience feel really special. The pace was perfect and never felt rushed, and the lunch was absolutely delicious too. A truly wonderful experience and one we’ll hold as a very fond memory. Highly recommend!

We had a fabulous day with Diego as our guide. We ended up being the only family on our tour as the other group canceled. Diego was so knowledgeable about the Volcano and also the plant and animal life. He answered questions and taught us so much. We hiked to several craters and saw the gray smoke from the erupting crater. Lunch at the winery was nice. We also did another quick stop to explore before the gorge. Walking in the water was a little rough without water shoes (can’t wear flip flops) but it was fun and a great experience. Highly recommend! We saw large groups hiking and were glad we had chosen a small group. We were able to keep a quick pace and saw much morel.
