Really recommend this day-trip activity! Our tour guide was Nicola and he was a very funny, knowledgeable, and caring guide. We enjoyed the short hike, the lunch/wine tasting. The last part of the trip to the canyon was a bit underwhelming but the rest of the trip was very eventful.

Extraordinary day at Etna with our guide Tony, whose kindness, teaching, and humor we really appreciated. We learned a lot about volcanoes, but also Sicilian history and culture. The organization of the day was great, the lunch was very nice, and the stop at the Alcantara gorges was pleasant. The group size was ideal. A 5 star day, thank you!

Overall we liked the excursion, the guide was the best, he provided us with a lot of information about volcanoes and Etna itself. The experience was very smooth. We visited a couple of craters of Etna on top, had a lunch at the winery and went to Alcantara Canyon. The last part is short, don’t expect to swim there, the river is very shallow, so there is no reason to take towels and swimsuits there. At 3rd of October it wasn’t very cold on top of Etna, about 18 degrees, so we didn’t use jackets, but they provided tracking shoes, which were very convenient and necessary.
