Exploreetna Reviews 204

Simone made every effort to make this an enjoyable, interesting and unforgettable experience. He is professional, engaging and client oriented, so much so that he went the extra mile to also bring us to a great family run winery where we were able to taste some of their great wines and buy wines, olive oil, nuts and cheese.
Like all the others who mentioned Simone, nothing less than 5* for a ⭐ great guide and genuinely lovely bloke. Tell your friends 👍. Gerry (and Sylvie) from the UK.

Took a tour with Simone. Everything was well organized. Extra jackets, shoes, and hats were offered to those in need. The views were good and overall a very enjoyable experience.

Today we booked a half-day excursion to Etna. The tour guide was very friendly. He explained everything to us clearly, took us to special places, and we were very satisfied. Highly recommended.

We had a great time during visiting the Etna, a good excursiun, and a great wine tasting.

Simone was very knowledgeable. He picked us up from our place which was very convenient. He clearly knows the area very well and was able to switch between English, French and Italian. We learned a lot and had a wonderful time on Etna. He was very prepared with water, jackets and coffee and bathroom stops. Would recommend 👍

Fantastic tour, the guide Simone was great- sharing information about the rocks, the trees and of course the volcano. He took fabulous photos too. Bring your own water and runners and a hat, no a/c and some walking on uneven ground with hills but not for a long distance and the views are worth it. Definitely 5 stars for us

Great to have guide showing us craters, different stones and trees. Pickup from hotel and drive to North and East side of Etna with beautiful views.

Simone guided us around the east side of Etna and we hiked a few craters. Great experience! Even tough we had a 3 years old kid with us, he took care and always asked if everything is alright and the pace is fine. Also, he took a lot of pictures of us. It was a plus that only 4 people were on the tour.

Everything was super great!! Mario was fantastic. We were only in for 3 days and they were able to squeeze us in with a 24hr notice! He picked us up at our B&B in town and drove us around the towns and up to Mt Etna. He provided us with snacks, water, coats, anything we needed He had! We did the volcano/ river tour and we stayed entertained the whole time! Mario took us off the beaten path and helped us make memories for a lifetime!! Thank you Mario and thank you Simon for setting everything up!!

The guide was very friendly, helpful and knew a lot about Etna. The distance of the tour was long enough and we saw wonderful views.

We had the Etna tour with Simone this afternoon. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. My husband had a bad knee and he gave him hiking poles. I ended up only hiking the craters since the ground was slippery with the ash for my husband. Simone helped me when needed and made sure all was documented with photos. It was a great trip and since we were the only two on the tour it made it even better.

We had a fantastic time with a entertainer/driver, Don Mariano, who could tell us a lot about mount Etna. He adjusted the walk to our possibilities. We had some unique views and the models of mount Etna,which he showed us, made it easier to comprehend the different craters and eruptions.
A very nice food and wine tasting made the day complete

Mr Simone is a friendly and professional guide with a deep knowledge of the Etna volcano. It was a memorable day in his company.

Great experience! Good and friendly guide (even for our dog, who is not that easy to strange people), with lots of explaining of the craters and etna history. Beautiful lunch at the family farm. Must book when you’re in Sicily!

Hi, we had a pleasure to explore Etna Nord and East side with a great guide Simone. It was a wonderfull and exciting Morning tour. Simone was punctual, very well oriented about the region of Etna and he shared a lot of great stories and usefull tips during our tour. We had a great time, the whole family was very enthusiastic and we took a lot of great pictures which will remind us about this unforgatable Thursday trip wit Simone on Etna. We strongly recommend Explore Etna company and Simone as a perfect guide! Ciao :) Wojtek and family

I enjoyed learning about the history and also the agricultural of the area surrounding Mt Etna. Our guide was charming and brought us to many points of interest. I highly recommend going to see these craters up close!

It was a very nice and memorable tour with Simone, with just the perfect combination of offroad and hiking. Thank you for the beautiful experience!

Very nice tour and a guide and his village Linguaglossa!

I couldn't have chosen better than that! the experience was a wonderful one, simone explained and showed us the beauties of the volcano, making the time pass by instantly, we walked and explored
we are glad that we had such a beautiful and unforgettable experience, thank you, simone, without you it would not have been possible!

Thank you Simone for the fantastic tour. We had such a great day today and also bonus we got picked up from our accommodation as we are staying further out from tourist spots. Thanks again for such a great tour of Etna
