We did four tours through Get Your Guide while in Italy and all four of them were superb. The tour of Mt Etna was really cool. I had no idea what to expect but Dario, our guide, did not disappoint. He was friendly and helpful, but he was also so willing to teach and encourage us. This tour is not hard, per se, but it's fast paced so expect to move quickly so you can see everything.

Our guide (Janet) was very attentive to our questions and encouraged us. She was so interesting to listen to!! Janet has a way to be scientifically informative while she's super down to earth and funny. Me and my brother had a wonderful time. The trip was definitely the high light of our short trip to Catania :)

This experience was amazing and allowed my partner and I to experience mount Etna in a way we could’ve have done on our own!

Good experience. For a sudden plan is ok. The team prepares everything.

Was a great experience. Dario was a very good and friendly guide!
