We had a great afternoon on the slopes of mount Etna. The views are fantastic. The multicoloured volcanic rocks are very beautiful. We took the gondola up and then walked up a little, we really felt the altitude, and so did the kids (both asleep in the car after running around at 2'500m). The crater nearest to the car park...

The tour bus drove up to about 2000 meters. The site attracts many tourists. You can walk up 2 craters which are close to the bus parking lot. It was windy. I had very little interest in hiking up any further. There is a ski lift if you want to get higher without hiking. More

We boooked the Taormina tour on-line during a cruise stop in Messina. Although our expectations were low about visiting Sicily, it turned out to be the best day of the entire cruise due to the wonderful service provided by Sicily Limousine Services. Their guide Claudio picked the four of us up at the dock in a luxurious Mercedes mini-van and... More

She had errupted 2 weeks prior to our visit. Once there we went round some of the craters that had been made... More

We did a day tour with Etna Tours and it was fantastic. Pretty exhausting as we had lots of climbing to do, but well worth it if you have a guide that is knowledgable like ours! More

you go up in trucks with other people. can be cold and windy but great experience. More

When we got to the top of Mt Etna, our tour guide said "welcome to the moon." It was a breath-taking experience. From walking around the crater at the top, to seeing old houses covered by lava and ask - expensive (55 euro) and worth it More

I had been to Sicily several times without visiting Mt Etna.. very glad that I finally made it. The trip is fantastic, the views are incredible, and the tour at the top really enjoyable. In general, the facilities at the top and at the base are fairly primitive... we had planned having lunch after our trip, but there were only... More
