The trip up Mount Etna is well worth it. Amazing views and if you go the extra to 3000 meters you are almost at the top of the mountain.
The only thing which let our tour down was the lack of organization. The ticket booth and cable car entry is quite narrow and chaotic. Out tour guide told us to wait for her and then at the top rushed off with half the group to pick up the guide leaving the rest of us behind to sort out our own tour of the craters. I think it actually worked out better for us so my tip is to go round by yourself.

We paid for the full tour of the cable car and 4×4.
We were collected late at 9am then spent almost 2 hours driving to the volcano – we had to wait to get on the cable car and when we got to the top we had to wait over an hour for the 4×4 to get to the top of the volcano. We spent so much time waiting that when we got to the top we had to come straight back down to get the bus by 2:15 or be left behind. Not enough time to even walk around at the top. Not to mention the rudeness of the lady hosting our group. I had taken two children and she had a crack at my parenting for bringing two young children on the tour without proper clothing. When I was trying to ask and determine if I could hire clothes or not she just kept having a go at me as a parent. I ended in tears. I would never put my kids at risk and I just wanted to have a conversation with her without her being rude and disrespectful to me. Complete waste of money and time , so disorganised and way too crowded. In all my travels I’ve never seen a natural attraction so crowded: better off just going yourself and taking your time so you can see everything at your pace and if you have to wait (because it is nature and you don’t know) then you can wait and still experience the sight without being rushed back.

Was no more than a very expensive return bus trip. Poorly organised, long queues, all very rushed and chaotic.

Didn’t realise how commercialised etna was. Nice courier, big coach, view was fantastic from the top, we were lucky, no clouds. Enjoyable trip.

It was an impressive trip up the mountain by bus, cableway and jeep. The people speak english quite well so it was easy to understand. The walk around one of the craters was intens with a lot of cold wind. But very interesting! We really needed the jackets that we’ve rented. After the jeepride back we walked down to the beginning of the cableway. We really loved the views!!

Our busguide was a humoristic man wil told ..in all languages..a lott about the island.
The trip with the bus , 4 Wheel drive bus and cable was also a part of the ecperience .
The landscape and the vieuw above are stunning.
I would like to had more time above. We could not go up to the top because of the activity but we knew this .
But it was a beautifill and wel organised day

It was a very nice trip and I loved it there. 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.

Nice view, but the german tourguide doesnt speak english very well. Busdriver was very gold. Everyone should go to the Etna

We had a great trip from start to Finnish. Our guide was very informative and helpful. We would visit again

This trip to Mt Etna is a day well spent. Our guide on the Mountain spoke English well and was very informative. I purchased this excursion mostly for my husband but found it to be just as pleasurable for me as it was for him. Not something I ever had on my bucket list but really glad we did it.

It would have been good to hear more about Sicily and the inhabitants livelyhoods generally and how eruptions affect the population beneath the volcano. Some more geological information would have been appreciated. Otherwise it was very good, to time and courteous
David_B –
Really good day out. Entertaining, friendly guide and a very skilled coach driver.
Stunning views from the top of the cable car. Interesting and informative guide taking us to the craters edge. Plenty of free time to explore on our own and experience the awesome landscape.
Definitely recommend this tour.

Going to the upper crater and seeing all the other craters and going on the lift.
Was cool up there so bring a sweater or sweatshirt
Lucy_D –
This was a very well organised trip but sadly the weather was so awful at the top of the mountain, windy, heavy rain, fog, that we could not see a thing and we’re not even allowed to get out of the bus. This, of course, is not the fault of the tour operator, but it should we worth noting that the trip will not always result in seeing the volcano!
Elaine_K –
The trip was excellent and very well-organised. It more than fulfilled expectations. Despite there being a lot of people on the trip and at the site, we got through relatively quickly. The volcano guides were very knowledgeable and friendly.
Jeffrey_D –
I booked the package of basic transport+cable car+jeep, which proves to be cheaper than buying the cable car and jeep ticket on site.
The tour guide was kind and well-organized, who can speak three languages (German, English and Italian). The moon-like volcano landscape was breathtaking and I took a walking experience on the crater of the previous eruption.
We got on the bus in Taormina at 08:30 am and reached the cable car station at 10:15 am. As determinde by the guide, we had to back onto the bus at 01:45 pm. As it took around 30 minutes by cable car and the jeep one way (incl. queuing time), the time left for real visit and exploration was a bit limited since there were a lot to see for Etna. In the end, we returned to Taormina at 03:10 pm, which was early.
Overall, it was a good trip and I recommended it. However, it would be better to extend the visit time in Etna.

Sadly I was unwell so did not take this trip. I emailed the company & they did offer two alternate days for us to take the trip however we already had other activities planned. They did not have to offer us this exchange as we were cancelling the day of the trip so it was really appreciated. Next time we travel to Sicily we shall book with this company based on this experience.

On arrival we were told that, due to poor visibility, we could ascend using the cable car but there wouldn’t be a guide to take us beyond in the jeeps. I therefore elected to stay at 2000 feet, a miserable day visiting gift shops. On the return, the guide quickly covered her backside by stating that the guides were there but we had dispersed do only the chosen few experienced the tour. There must be plenty of poor visibility days on Etna where conditions change quickly. Why could a WhatsApp group not be set up on these days? Too much work for the guide perhaps? Awful woman, officious and curt.
