Etna's Dawn: Unforgettable Morning Volcano Adventure

Leonardo was great!! The cave tour was really cool!! Wish we did more hiking while at Etna. There was a higher “summit” that most people were doing that looked like a lot more fun than the small loop we ended up doing. Perhaps skipping the lava flow at the winery would have provided more time to hike. Lunch at the location was very delicious and seller enjoyed the special treat at the end.

Etna People offers an absolutely phenomenal tour experience that I highly recommend. Our guide, Antonio, was the heart of the journey. His deep passion for Mount Etna, coupled with his encyclopedic knowledge of vulcanology and local history, transformed the excursion from a simple hike into a captivating educational adventure. Antonio was professional yet warm, ensuring everyone felt safe, informed, and truly connected to the majestic landscape. We explored ancient lava flows, traversed breathtaking craters, and were treated to panoramic views that were simply unforgettable. Antonio’s pace was perfect for the group, allowing ample time for photographs and reflection. The equipment provided was top-notch, and the logistics were seamlessly managed from start to finish. If you’re looking for an authentic, engaging, and expertly led Etna excursion, booking with Etna People and requesting Antonio is a must. This tour was the undeniable highlight of my Sicilian trip.

Daniel was knowledgeable which made the tour more interesting. He was also very observant and showed care and compassion.

The experience was truly fantastic! We were picked up on time with a comfortable minibus and taken to Mount Etna for an unforgettable tour. The guides were exceptionally kind, cheerful, and full of positive energy. They had a great sense of humor and explained the history and geology of Etna in a very engaging and easy-to-understand way. They also provided all the necessary safety equipment and always made sure that everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the tour. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed from start to finish, making the whole experience both fun and educational. We really enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Catania or Sicily!

It’s chilly and windy and you need more of a hiking shoe which I didn’t have. You should be in decent shape

While the views were amazing, the experience was less than satisfactory. The driver, while pleasant, drove a dirty van that we couldn’t see out the windows. And his driving was too aggressive, he tailed drivers too closely and unnecessarily passed vehicles on the tight windy roads leading up to Mt. Etna.

Guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable about volcanic eruptions. Had an interesting Hike from Refugio at Mount Etna.

Daphne did an amazing job, showing us Mt Etna. We walked to the the top of a crater. We walked in a cave of the volcano. Daphne was very knowledgeable and enjoyable. Highly Recommend!!!

We had a great day out with Daphne as our very knowledgeable and friendly tour leader. It was advertised as a half day but it offered much more. There were a number of stops to explore and explain different aspects of Mt Etna. Highly educational and enjoyable way to experience the mountain. Thanks very much to Daphne and Antonio. Would recommend the trip!

Good experience. The guide was very good and provided a lot of useful information about Mt Etna. The weather was bad ie rain and fog, but that can’t be controlled.
