When our son fell, she immediately helped us, and it felt safe knowing there are doctors along the way. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the whole experience was unforgettable. It’s a long downhill walk on stones and rocks, so good shoes are a must.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,407 reviews · from $113

“We had a great day at Etna. Luca was knowledgeable and made the trip very interesting. We had absolutely perfect weather and were able to circle the entire edge of the craters. The views from up there were spectacular. I would suggest bringing some sort of face covering for times when the gases may be blowing your way. Not sure why, but we paid 60.00 each for the bus ride and the couple in front of us paid 50.00. When asked no explanation was given. Just that they were the guides and didn’t make the prices. Thanks for a great day”

“We had a really lovely day out with Lam, and got very lucky with good weather. Our only little note for other travellers to consider, is that other villagers are extremely persistent in selling their wares, not only in the market place/ towns/ road side but will actually follow you on long portions of the trail. We had someone follow us for several hours, walking along side who after we’d said “no thanks to” many times we were told by other villagers she’d only come with us to try and sell, and would now be walking back many hours to find other people to do it all again.”
