Excellent tour riding safely off road with Land Rover . Fabrizio is great guide, took us to amazing places; volcano desert, 4 level secret cave, caldera and many interesting places where other tour guides will not take you without 4x4. Very safe tour, good for kids and older people. Worth money !!!

One of the best guided tours we’ve ever been on - our guide was called Fabritzio, a bandana clad expert in the history, geology and biology of the Etna region - not only one of the coolest individuals we’ve met - but so knowledgeable… Fabritzio took us up Mount Etna in his Land Rover, stopping at regular intervals to explore land features that most tours would miss - including an excursion into a lava tube that Fabritzio had discovered and built access to (ropes, walkways etc). This was one of many highlights. Fabritzio kept our family of 5 fully engaged over 4 hours - forming a quick bind with our children and tailoring his commentary to keep them all in a state of constant marvel. We saw how the vegetation changed as we ascended, how Etna has evolved over the centuries and walked into a caldera! We cannot recommend Fabritzio enough - and will remember our morning together for a very, very long time! Thank-you Fabritzio!

Der Treffpunkt ist leicht zu finden und der Tourführer Fabrizio begrüßt alle Teilnehmer sehr herzlich. Mit dem Jeep geht es dann über unwegsame Wege zu einer Höhle, dann immer weiter hinauf zum Valle di Bove und dann bis zur Liftstation, wo man einige Krater bewundern und bewandern kann. Man erfährt sehr viel über den Ätna und seine Geschichte, Entwicklung und Vegetation. Fabrizio ist ein Experte und man kann ihm Fragen stellen, die er gerne beantwortet.Die Zeit vergeht wie im Flug!
