Great tour

Marco and Angelo were great tour guides - they shared a lot of information, looked out for the whole group and helped when I was a little slower than the rest of the group. The company was very responsive and helped book a transfer to Catania to the start of the tour. The group was great and it was nice to do more of a hike than the other tours involving the cable car and then taking a jeep. Would recommend!

The vulcanologist guide was very knowledgeable. The hike was quite rigorous, very windy and cold, but stunningly beautiful. The group size was a little too large, meaning you have to push to the front to hear the guide or miss out on the information, but this seemed true of all the guided groups.
Super Erlebnis

Ich dachte mir am Anfang. Man wird hoch Wandern und wieder runter. Nix da.
Ich habe einen Super Einblick zum Ätna bekommen und wirklich sehr viel gelernt. Nun sehe ich dieses Wunder aus einer ganz anderen Perspektive. Absolut Top Guides. Danke an Fabio und Massimo.
Absolut Empfehlenswert.

Great organization. Ich war überrascht am anfang nur einen van als sammelpunkt zu zu sehen. Es stellte sich aber heraus das die tour guids richtige profis sind. Wir sind nicht die uebliche touristen route gegangen und es ist auch etwas herausfordernt. Also gutes schuhwerk unbedingt. Wird gratis angeboten und macht auch sinn. Es war anfangs ein t-shirt tag. Angenehm und klare sicht bis ins tal. Danach wechselt das wetter schnell und ich war froh haube. Handschuhe und extra jacke mitzuhaben. Zum glueck gab es ein paar hot spot um sich wieder aufzuwaermen. Das ist natuerlich ungewoehnlich wenn einige meter unter der erkaltende erde noch heisse laver ist. Es war ein toller ausflug und selbst mit hohen gasaktivitaeten konnten wir auf 3000 m. Wir waren eine der wenigen gruppen da wir richtige vulkanologen haben. Max ear super also ohne risiko eine tolle tour.
Sehenswert und toller Guide!

Wir hatten einen tollen Tag auf dem Ätna mit Massimo!
Wir trafen morgens am ausgemachten Treffpunkt auf Max. Wir könnten dort direkt kostenlos parken und er erklärte uns die Tagesroute. Dazu bekamen wir kostenlos Wanderstiefel und Stöcke. Sonstige Kleidung kann man bei ihm ausleihen für geringe Kosten. Gute Kleidung ist wichtig, oben zieht der Wind stark und die Sonne ist auch nicht zu unterschätzen.
Die Kosten für die Seilbahn und die Fahrt mit dem Bus (50€)sind separat, war aber angegeben! Den Kauf erledigte er schnell und problemlos für uns.
Anschließend ging es nach oben und er zeigte uns in einer tollen Führung die verschiedenen Krater und den Umständen entsprechend den aktiven Krater aus sicher Entfernung aber mit bester Sicht!
Wir waren einige Stunden unterwegs aber es wurde nie langweilig! Tolle Bilder und viele Infos zur Historie inbegriffen.
Wir können die Tour absolut empfehlen, es war ein toller Tag mit tollem Guide, würden wir jederzeit wieder machen!!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
