With the volcanological guide, you can reach the top of the highest active volcano in Europe. You can visit the summit and side craters in complete safety thanks to the experience gained over the years. The guide is not just a "Cicerone", but the essential task is to convey the emotions that every single excursion can give. And Real Etna works this way.

Best guide ever, he took us to volcano that was good. But after that it went from good to amazing. We went to a whine-yard with the most welcoming family that served us the best whines and food we ever tasted. We bought 15 bottles and the only thing I regret is that we didn’t buy more. Thank you so much and one thing is for sure that we gonna come and visit again.

With this excursion we will reach one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the Etna volcano to admire the sweet beauty of the sunrise. The Sartorius Mountains (1,720 m) will be the place where we will wait for the sunrise. They are ancient craters formed during the 1865 eruption. The name is a tribute to Wolfgang Sartorius von Waltershausen, the first scientist to catalog the eruptions of the volcano in the 19th century. From the Sartorius Mountains we will move to the Grotta della Neve, a small lava flow tunnel used in the past as a snow mill (place where snow was kept for the summer season). The last leg of the tour will take us to Case Pietracannone. From the structure we will follow the path to Monte Fontane, crossing the lava fields of the eruptions of 1950-51 and 1979. Reached the top of the mountain (1,278 m), in front of us the panorama will open on the vast black sea of the Valle del Bove. Returning to the meeting point we will thank our guests with a typical Sicilian breakfast.

Inclusions: Transfer with 4WD, Typical breakfast with granita and brioches

Exclusions: Lunch

We did the ‘Etna Three Thousand’ guided tour, meeting at the coffee bar at 0830. Our guide was Giacomo, who was absolutely fantastic! He drove us to the cable car, where we ascended part way up the mountain, and then trekked up the rest. Giacomo took us to where we could look out and see the towns and villages - and clouds - way below the mountain. He brought us to the edge of a crater where we could run all the way down. I was a bit nervous about doing this but the volcanic sand was very soft and this was so much fun! While we rested at the bottom of the crater Giacomo gave us refreshments and explained more about the mountain. He really knows the history and geology of the mountain. We continued on to where we could watch the volcano erupting at a safe distance, then trekked to another crater, where he brought us down and let us experience how hot it was. Giacomo really took care of us, giving us better jackets to wear on top of what we brought. The wind made it rather cold, so this was very much appreciated. He also lent us more appropriate hiking shoes. Overall this trek took us almost 5 hours and was the highlight of our time in Sicily! I highly recommend this company (and Giacomo!) — David D., from Washington DC, USA

This review is a few weeks overdue! Roberto hosted my small group of 4 and it was AMAZING! He is very personable and was knowledgeable of the areas we visited. The Godfather tour blew us away!! I cannot say enough great things of the experience, it was truly unforgettable! The cherry on the top was the winery Roberto set up for lunch with wine tasting...Murgo winery...highly recommended by the way ????. Food, wine and staff were all top notch! Can't wait to go back and can't wait to take another private tour with Roberto. He made us feel like family! We thoroughly enjoyed our tour! See you soon!

Thanks to this tour you will have the opportunity to experience unique emotions, mixed with amazement and fear, for the breathtaking scenery and views but also the devastating and merciless power of the volcano that with its lava flows sweeps everything and changes the ambiance for centuries. But the volcano is also a big good brother for local people, giving them the fruits of the fertile land that you can taste first at the honey farm and then at the winery, thus immersing yourself in the aromas and flavors typical of this wonderful land full of contrasts.

First off, I booked this tour December 30th at about 8:30pm via Viator fir Dec 31st tour. The operator emailed me right away to clarify things that made the tour go smoothly. When we arrived in Catania at 5:40 early in the morning, our driver Danilo was was waiting for us already. We had an early start, meaning our time was not wasted at all. When we reached in Taormina, I asked Danilo to check if we can add done of the Godfather places to check and he called his boss right away and was confirmed we can do it. I was happy and appreciated the flexibility. We were able to check the places that I wanted to go. Just a reminder, our driver is not a licensed tourist guide but he tells us where to go and drop us off and pick us up like “door to door”. I would suggest to google the best places to visit and tell the driver what you most like to visit and read all about it. You will appreciate more if you know the story behind that particular area. This tour works perfectly for us. Thank you Danilo for doing above and beyond of what you are doing. Cheers!

It is a full day trip from Palermo to Etna and Taormina. Our guide Josephine was amazing and told us a lot about Sicily along the way. When we arrived to Etna it occurred that the cable car wasn't working and we had to go to the top by bus. Unfortunately, this took much longer time than a cable car so we had just a shirt stay on the top. After Etna we went to Taormina which is a breath-taking town with wonderful views over Etna and the sea. I wish we could stay there longer as it is a truly beautiful place. Overall, I would recommend this trip to everyone but be ready for a full day trip with lots of driving which can be tiring.
