Disappointed

Unfortunately my tour didn’t go ahead, we had to turn back in the middle of the way because of the snow. While I know they can’t control the weather and that’s completely not their fault, the agency could’ve warned us that the day before, they had to cancel because of the weather conditions and there was a possibility of it happening again. From there, I could’ve rescheduled. However, I spent with trains from Palermo, accommodation, and winter clothes just for this tour. If I knew there was a slight chance of it being cancelled, I would’ve gone another day, but now I can’t afford it. So it’s very frustrating to say the least. On the bright side, the tour guide, I think his name was Joseph, did try his best to go ahead and was very friendly and nice. He spoke in English, Italian, and French to make all of us understand him on the way to Etna, telling us cool information about the volcano and Catania. When we had to stop, he did seem sad too. And also thank you for the agency for returning my money fast.

Mt. Etna, amazing tour and opportunity

I would highly recommend this tour. Our guide spoke perfect English and was highly knowledgeable about the area. He’s a local and the town he lives in is at the base of the volcano. My husband, 15 year old daughter, and I really enjoyed visiting the volcano & especially going into the lava tubes. We went in November & it was FREEZING, raining, and snowing on the top of the volcano so make sure you bring a water proof jacket when you go. The guide said it’s typical that it rains in that area. Our guide gave us some homemade snacks and some wine when we took a little break at the base of one of the craters. We went during “off” season so the ski lift to the top and some of the small shops weren’t open but we were still able to go to a little restaurant and eat once the tour ended. Very thankful for the experience! Note: this tour is not handicap friendly
