We had a fabulous evening. The trek was fast paced. Giuseppe was our guide, he was very informative and was good at keeping the group together and safe. We were so lucky with the volcanic eruptions.

Amazon experience and really saw real volcanic eruption! Our hiking guide is also very knowledgeable and learned so much.

Wow, what a fantastic experience! It’s a tough climb if you’re 60+ and moderately fit, but really worth it. Our guides, Nino and Frederico, were first class. I’d highly recommend booking with this company, you will not be disappointed!

Mildly challenging hike up and down but 10000% worth it! The volcano is breathtaking at sunset. Grateful to have experienced this.

Giuseppe is very informative and helpful guide. Thank you. The tour is taken at pace with frequent breaks for water, catch your breath and a bit of information about the area

This was a great trek with a knowledgeable, friendly guide, (Stefani), who spoke several languages. The pace of the hike meant that all were catered for. There was not as much time at the viewing platform as expected or we would have liked, however others in the group were keen to finish the tour.

It was a lovely and beautiful hike! Giuseppe was a very knowledgable and thoughtful guide that gave us plenty of information about the Volcanos and their creation. We took lots of photos and were given plenty of opportunities to do so :) Beautiful views, even more beautiful host 😂

Absolutely amazing trip up to 400 metres to see the mini eruptions. The guide took an appropriate route which suited all abilities of the group. Medium route taken up and an easy route back down to the starting point. I waited years to see this volcano but thoroughly enjoyed it and was not disappointed
