The guide Simone is biologist very knowledgeable about volcano and all scientific and historical details. He even made for us extra stops more than those mentioned in the itinerary. We were so lucky, on our way back volcano erupted and we saw lava going up on the 3000 m!! (we were 1000 m below). Trip very safe no need to worry. I really recommend !!
