My etna. She’s unbelievable

Vincent_V, Mar 2026

A must do!! Excellent guide and a trip highlight.

Andrew_S, Aug 2025

We met Augusto at a really easy spot, and from there he took us on a wonderful adventure, tailoring the experience to us. Augusto's passion is infectious, and there wasn't a question we asked that he didn't know the answer. He shared his knowledge in such a wonderful way that it was easily digestible, and kept us interested the entire time. We found so much love for 'Mumma Etna' through his sharing of his experiences and the history of the Volcano, and Sicily as a whole. A highlight not only of our trip, but an absolute pleasure of a day!!! Must do!!! Augusto also has a wealth of knowledge of Sicily, and armed us with more recommendations for the rest of our trip which has served us very well!

Informative and fun Etna tour

Steven_N, Jul 2025

Great experience. A lot of info from very friendly guide Angelo. Different views on the destructive character of nature. A must do

Great for history and nature lovers - incredible views and family fun lava tube exploring!

Angela_R, May 2025

Super informative tour - our guide, Augusto, was passionate and engaging, telling stories and history of Etna throughout the experience. Etna is beautiful and scenic, and our favorite part was exploring the lava tube (long tunnel-like cave) with our daughters (ages 4 & 7)! Views from the top are incredible (windy and cold, bring a sweatshirt, our guide informed us before the tour). It’s a long experience (our tour was 5hours), so plan accordingly with snacks/food - it was my husband’s favorite experience of our 11-day vacation (he loves both history and nature).

Awesome

Augustus our guide was excellent. He made the experience the most memorable and enjoyable of our 3 weeks in Italy. I would highly recommend this tour.

Unmissable family tour

Kate_B, Jul 2024

Our tour guide, Augusto was incredibly friendly and informative from the start. We were taken on a tour of every aspect of the spectacular scenery and learnt so much about the history, geology and mythology of Etna and Sicily en route. Augusto’s knowledge and passion were infectious. A great tour for all the family.

Wholeheartedly recommended

MariaBeatrice_V, Jul 2024

We had an amazing afternoon with our guide Augusto. He drove us and walked us through beautiful places, allowing us to soak in the beauty of each scenery while sharing with us interesting geological, zoological, botanical and historical facts on each environment as well as engaging stories from greek mythology and current day information on this amazing area of Sicily. There were many highlights, from the mesmerizing smell of ginestra, to the mapping of Sicily at il Bove, to the breathtaking sunset, with delicious biscotti regina and local licoeur. We wholeheartedly recommend this experience.

great and informative tour!!!!!

Carmela_D, May 2024

Sabastian was very informative about the area and Mt Etna. His knowledge, both historical and current were outstanding. His passion for Mt. Etna and it's magnitude came through when he showed pictures of previous eruptions to show comparisons of then and now so we can get a better picture of its destruction. WOW!!! great memory. great experience- especially the lava tunnel.

One of our favorite...

Devyn_D, Dec 2023

One of our favorite tours. The guide was funny, friendly and knowledgeable. He was great with our kids! The sunset was gorgeous, and the guide brought cookies and wine to toast the sunset. It was amazing

L'emozione di essere per la prima volta sull'Etna

ilio_n, Sep 2024

Ottimo compagno i per questa escursione Augusto Nicolosi ci ha spiegato tante cose che non sapevamo oltre che provare l'emozione del tubo lavico e della grotta e tanti crateri per finire tramonto in posto tranquillo tutto da dieci veramente grazie

Excellente excursion

Virginie_C, Aug 2024

Superbe excursion Un guide passionné et passionnant Recommande vivement cette excursion Parfait pour une sortie en famille

Einmaliges Erlebnis

Alessia_G, Sep 2023

Augusto hat unsere Tour geleitet und es war viel besser als wir es uns vorstellen konnten. Man merkt, wie sehr er für den Ätna und die Geschichte Siziliens brennt und vermittelt dieses Gefühl auch. Man lernt einiges über das Land, seine Geschichte und Bräuche und natürlich über „Mamma Ätna“. Wir haben viel gelacht und noch mehr über die wahnsinnig interessanten Fakten gestaunt. Wir danken Augusto für dieses einmaligen Tag! Daniel und Alessia
