Highlight of an awesome week! We were promptly met by Rosario, our most knowledgeable guide. This tour should be a definite on anyone’s itinerary to Sicily. We were fortunate to have a clear sunny day! The trip up, the lift, the walk around the views spectacular! The rest of the day was filled with wonderful surprises, caves and gorges and a most wonderful lunch in a vineyard!..Did not want to leave!Nice view, but the german tourguide doesnt speak english very well.

But there is one thing, the description says you go up to 3300 meters. But on the tour they told up they didn't go further then 2750 meter. Cause of safety reasons, still a really nice trip but I advise you change it in your description of the trip.

Decent all-in-one Etna trip including bus from Taormina, Cablecar-Tickets and a short Bus ride farther up the mountain. If you're just looking to see mount Etna, this is a convenient solution. I was however disappointed by the soul-less lecture of our guide - sure, doing three languages at once isn't easy, but if you're just gonna sound like reading bits of a Wikipedia article then I can do that myself. The guide seemed more interested to sell extended packages including the cable-car ride to those who hadn't done so yet anyways, promising a ride up to 3000 meters, conveniently omitting that due to recent eruptions the things you can do on top of the mountain are severely limited. The hike on top of the mountain then again was great, the alpine guides there really know what they're talking about, they're very enthusiastic, and great at answering questions. However the "hike" was also really short, barely half an hour, if that. Long story short, whilst Etna surely is a must-see, book a more personalized tour with a smaller group if you want to get the most out of it.
