Our tour of Mt. Etna and Alcantara was a highlight of our trip to Sicily. One of the main reasons was our guide Erminia. Her love of Etna is contagious and it was a pleasure to spend the day with her. Walking on an active volcano is an experience we will never forget!

The guide was nice. I liked the places we went. The only problem was the weather and so we could not go up to Etna higher point.
