“Our Etna tour with Dario was truly unforgettable! He has a very friendly attitude, explaining the history of the volcano in a fun way and making sure we are having a good time. The whole group felt comfortable and connected. So If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate. It’s a perfect mix of learning, fun, and beautiful memories!”

“Communication was perfect. Pickup at hotel by Serena was punctual. At nearly 69 years old, I was clearly the oldest. The pace worked for me. Emi the guide was patient and helpful to the slower people. With the altitude, everyone was happy for breaks. Terrain varied: uneven icy snow, loose ash, some slightly muddy sections and hard back. Poles provided for stability. Excellent day!”

“Fabio was a great guide. Super knowledgable and friendly and we got to see so much, even when the weather wasn't 100% cooperative. Had a wonderful time!”

“It was a good experience however the group was too big. 2 car load of 4x4 which is equivalent to around 30. We were split into 2 groups with one group English speaking and the other Italian. They did not keep track of the numbers and we were unable to keep up with the group without them even realizing. We did not continue and paid to take the 4x4 down to the cable car station and took the return ride down while those that followed all the way walked down from 3000m to take the cable car. In terms of safety i strongly felt that this is lacking. The guides…”

“We had a great time with our guide Antonio. The staff was very helpful at all times. The tour started on time and was very organized to ensure the safety measures. The hike, even though was physically demanding, was totally worthy. This was our first time not only on a vulcano, but also watching lava flow live, something you don’t ever forget. By the meeting point, there is a very nice cafeteria (la terrazza dell’etna) that can provide good breakfast before the departure, as well as the water needed to endure the experience. Totally would recommend AITNE for this.”

“It was the best day of our week in Catania. The local pick up was most welcome so we didn't have the public transport to deal with. Our guide Giannni was on time, considerate and very knowledgeable. Lunch was good, including hot drink and water. Etna and the Gorge were awe inspiring features which we enjoyed immensely.”

“there were no signs of where to validate our tickets and the guide only greeted us and then left us to go up by ourselves and was not present to explain anything.”

“With Etna erupting the night before our hike, we were happy to see that the guides adapted and took us as high as safely possible. I particularly appreciated the fact that our guide, Giovanni, offered to guide us back down on foot because I lost my ticket for the return trip by cable car.”

“I highly recommend booking you trek up Mount Etna with Marco and Antonio. Both are extremely charismatic and took the time to explain everything, as well as providing a few good laughs along the way. We were definitely off of the regular tourist paths and got to truly enjoy the beauty of Mount Etna! Would definitely book through them if we were to go hiking here again. A truly unforgettable experience!”

“This was a great tour. Simone was really knowledgeable and took us on a great tour, even finding a place for us to see the lava! The tour was really well organised and gave us some great views of the craters. I highly recommend!”
