Breathtaking Etna & Alcantara Gorge: Sicily's Ultimate Adventure

It was an amazing day of visiting Mt. Etna but so much more!!!! Culture and food and history. We loved every minute. Lunch was AMAZING. Our tour guide was phenomenal.

Our guide was so good! He knew everything and anything about Etna and the local area. And he spoke to us in English and Italian (we’re both trying to learn the language). The walk around craters and the other stop-offs were absolutely stunning. There were only five of us in the group so it didn’t feel too crowded

Fantastic experience paired with a beautiful nature, a very knowledgable guide and a fabulous walk around crators. Thanks a lot, Cristian, for all your insights, historical facts and advise you shared with us - you defenitely made our day!

I am so glad we decided to tour with Etna Way (Davide was our excellent guide) to Etna and the Alcantara. We had about 9 days in Sicily and had this scheduled for our last day. I was traveling with my husband and two boys (15 and 12). We learned so much about the history and geology of Etna and enjoyed a fairly easy hike (wish I'd had brought better gripping shoes). Davide was our guide and he was knowledgeable and personable and picked us up at our hotel in Taormina. We had a private tour which was really nice and didn't encounter crowds or many other people at all. The entire family enjoyed the experience and this was a highlight of our visit to Sicily.

We had an amazing time, and this day will be a special memory we'll fondly look back on. Our tour guide, Gianpaolo, was not just a guide but an incredible host who truly loves everything about Etna. His passion was contagious, and we soaked up all the fascinating knowledge he shared with us. Plus, he was fantastic company throughout the journey. We'll definitely be spreading the word about EtnaWay services to our friends and family. Thanks a bunch for being so accommodating to us and our beloved dogs. This experience was absolutely wonderful! ☺️

Hello, We had an amazing and very informative day. Our guide provided us with everything we needed or wanted to know. From trekking shoes to details of the happening on and around etna. He was very attentive to our needs and happy to linger longer in some places to make photos or go into detail if you had questions. The tour was provided in fluent german, spiked with anecdotes of past trips here and there as we got to enjoy the beautiful scenery. In the morning we were picked up at our airbnb stay, then had an informative ride to etna where we got some general information about etna, the area and latest eruptions. We trekked around different craters and through a beautiful mountain side with birch trees. We then continued on to the destroyed tourist site, seeing the extend of force nature could bring with the eruption of a volcano. For lunch we rested at a nice little restaurant, enjoying local food qith cool drinks before exploring a lava tunnle. We ended our day when we hot to the Alcantara site, where we cooled down in the icy water a bit before being brought home. All in all it was probably the best decision we could have made. I looked through several tourist guides, but nearly all of them had costs hidden somewhere and you had to explicitly ask to know about them. Etnaway was straightforward about any costs, easy to contact, honest, informative and a pleasure to spend a day with. If I ever come back to catania and do another tour to etna, I won't have to search long because I know where to go this time. Hope to see you again in the future Marisa, Milena and Gabriel

EtnaWay offered a customized visit by adapting to our needs. Claudio provided us a radio terminal, because we were with our own car, and gave us a lot of information regarding the places that were part of our way. In the volcano, a lot of beautiful scenarios,and explanations about formation types. In the end, we went to an Italian restaurant to have a good lunch with good wine.

We had a fantastic day with our guide Eddy who introduced us to Etna and its long history since the dawn of time and also the history of Sicily thanks to its great cultural knowledge. An unforgettable day. Thank you again. Sabine

An extremely rewarding experience thanks to the quality of our guide (Eddy) who, through his historical culture and vulcanological knowledge, made this day exciting. We recommend it to anyone who would like to discover Etna and its environment and spend as beautiful a day as we do.

The tour on Etna and the Alcantara Gorge were impressive. Our guide Sebastiano has always answered all questions and was a really very likeable person. We can really only recommend this trip with EtnaWay.
