Melina – CanadaMay 25, 2025 – Verified booking
Fantastic experience! Pros and cons below. First we were picked up at the piazza. Then we were driven to Mount Etna in Small groups. The guide explained a few things and then gave us some free time to explore. Then we went to a cave (we were provided helmets) where the guide explained how these caves are formed. Finally, we stopped at a place where we were able to try different products and purchase them if we wanted to (there was no pressure to do so). We tried olive oils, pestos, and honeys. Pros: It was nice to have a knowledgeable, energetic guide explaining things about the volcano, such as it’s activity, the soil, the landscape, etc. If you go on your own you don’t get all the interesting information nor the exploration of the cave. The small group makes it feel much more personal and enjoyable. Cons: The pickup was a little chaotic due to one of the guides having an attitude. However, we switched guides and were very happy about it.
