Paolo took us on the Etna Morning Tour and it was the highlight of our 24-day Med cruise. Paolo was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, friendly - the best guide possible! We didn't think we could see and do so much five and a half hours. Everyone in our family from the 7 to 72 yrs had a thoroughly enjoyable day. We highly... More

I had an absolute ball on this tour. Of 6 guests, I was the only non-German speaker and our Sicilan guide, Marcello, did a fantastic job of telling everything in both German and English. As well as being very knowledgeable, Marcello was fun and friendly and when not telling us about Etna and Sicily, we enjoyed some interesting general conversation.... More

Amazing Etna put on a show today! This tour was perfectly scheduled to see the best of Etna's beauty with knowledgeable commentary from Paolo. Small group, the 6 of us in a 4wd made the tour more personal First a drive through the Etna national park and a volcanic valley with plenty of photo opportunities. Quick stop to taste local... More

Excellent day out. Great service with pick up and drop off at the hotel. Paolo was a really great guide - I learnt so much about Mount Etna as well as seeing it for myself. A bit more actual trekking and exploring would've made it even better, but that's just because I love a bit of adventure! Highly recommended! More

Decided to take a trip to Etna and booked this day trip through the Hotel. Got picked up around 09.30am and then driven up the coast. The guide 'Marcello' was very helpful and explained what was going on. After some a nice wander we travelled up to Etna, around the 2000m level. We were shown some of the side craters... More

Our day trip to Mt.Etna was fantastic. Paolo is very knowledgeable about Mt.Etna and volcanic science in general. His passion and friendliness made it a worthwhile experience. We took great pictures and enjoyed a 4X4 drive through the regions in and around Mt.Etna. We also enjoyed having lunch in Cocchinello in Padera. That was the best pork chop I ever... More

We had with Paolo an amazing half-day trip to Etna. Despite the fact it was raining in the morning Paolo had a great program and show us beautiful spots (finally the weather got better). Paolo has deep knowledge almost about everything you could come up with. We really learnt a lot from him which was not only related to Etna... More

We had a fantastic day with Paolo, he has a wonderful and thorough knowledge of Etna and how she shaped her little corner of Sicily. Paolo good humouredly coaxed us into lava caves and river gorges for a truly unique experience and a real appreciation of all we were seeing. We laughed a lot, learned a lot, enjoyed some spectacular... More

My wife and I spent a fantastic full day with Paolo (20th Sept '11) on the Etna Grand Tour. It was without question the best tour we have done in all our years of travel. Paolo's knowledge of Etna and the surrounding locations along with his sense of humour made for a perfect day. The views from Etna were fantastic,... More
