Review of Etna Est’s six-hour Mount Etna trip from Catania, with crater walks, lava cave, tasting, hotel pickup, and sunset option.

“I absolutely loved this tour!! Our guide was Leonardo. I mean this as a compliment, but the man is clearly obsessed with Mount Etna.

It was so helpful that this tour offered a collection option, as we are staying at a hotel on the edge of town and it is a real pain to get into the city centre. We were transported in a people carrier and there were 8 people in total (all very nice too!). Leonardo took us to the…”

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!”

Ended up being an unforgettable experience! A few tips - This is a medium-hard hike, leaning towards hard for the average person (especially if chilling headwinds are blasting you up a 50 meter ascent).

Once you understand and prepare for…”
