Itinerary
The tour will head to the nearby Silvestri Craters where you can enjoy the wonderful view of lunar landscapes characterized by black dunes and expanses of solidified lava. The guide will provide you with scientific explanations of the volcanological phenomena that generated this authentic wonder of nature.
Continuing, you will visit the volcanic caldera of the Valle del Bove, this great arid and desert depression, almost completely lacking of vegetation but with a truly unique charm.
The Etna tour continues with the exploration of a spectacular lava cave. The guides will accompany you and you will be provided with the necessary equipment (helmet and torches) to be able to visit the volcanic cave in total safety.
Along the way you will be able to observe several lava flows including the one generated by the terrible eruption of 1991-93, the longest in the recent history of Etna.
Going down towards the valley, the tour will stop in the village of Zafferana Etnea. Here you will be accompanied to a certified farm welcoming you with a tasting of typical products: delicious honeys and fine wines produced with grapes grown in the vineyards of the Etna area.

2Rude and not helpful
The guide Florinda was really prepared and welcoming, but we didn't like the organisation. We were 7 and despite the fact that we told the owner, Aristide, that we wanted to be together, we discovered the very morning that they splitted us in two groups without asking. Of course we wanted to be together and tried to find a solution, but he replied rudely "this is the only solution, either we go or you stay here" without proposing any kind of refund. Eventually we asked if we could join the trip with our car and managed to take the trip together. We believe he wasn't neither honest nor helpful at all Also, we expected to walk a bit more
4A Nice Etna Experience!
Very informative and fun trip to Etna. Only slight issue was the size of the vehicle transporting us. A bit of a tight squeeze!
5Patient and enthusiastic guides
We are a family of 6 with a 7 year old and 1 disable person. We did a private version of the morning tour. Our guides were Aristides and Daniela. They were both knowledgeable and shared many fun facts about Etna. We really felt their love towards Mt Etna! They were also very patient with our situation. My family enjoyed the tour a lot!
5A must ...if you want to see Mt.Etna!
An amazing half day tour. Our guide Florinda was alot of fun and very knowledgeable about Mt Etna herself as well as the surrounding areas. She made the excursion very informative but also lots of fun. Seeing the craters, the lava cave and trip to local farm were all worthwhile. Highly recommend using a guide if you plan on seeing Mt.Etna.
5Trip to Etna
We can fully recommend morning trip to Etna organized by this company. Added value is definately guiding by Simone who is very kind and knowledgable person with passion for his work related to Etna topic. Afterwards visit of local farm with tasting of their wines, olives, pesto and honey was also very nice.
5A day after eruption tour
We can fully recommend to do trip with this company. We had great morning time on Vulcan, guided by Simone, experienced and knowledgeable guy who is very passionate on nature and Etna topic. It was really worth spending time there.

About Catania
Catania, on Sicily's east coast, is a black lava-stone city beneath Mount Etna, with a noisy fish market, Baroque squares and a long seafront.
Catania lies at the foot of Mount Etna, the active volcano whose lava reached the city in 1669, and an earthquake in 1693 flattened it. Rebuilt in the eighteenth century in the Baroque style, it uses black lava stone for walls and paving, set against white limestone. The Piazza del Duomo has an elephant of lava stone carrying an obelisk, the cathedral of Sant'Agata, and a fountain.
Top-ranked sights in Catania: Piazza Duomo, Via Crociferi (Via dei Crociferi) , Gambino Winery (Vini Gambino).
