Fortunately we went to the mountain on a perfect day with no clouds in the sky. However at the top the wind was pretty strong which limited the walk on the edge of a crater.If you go, you must take the 4x4 to the top as its well worth the extra money. Breathtaking views add to the attraction which is... More

Although it is hard to find specific information, we really enjoyed our time on the volcano. We arrived at the Rifugio Sapienza at 13h00, took the cable car (the ride lasts at least 20min), and when we arrived on the top we had two options: either walk 40 minutes to a lower crater, or pay another 27 Euros to take...

Very interesting, the guide was well-prepared and funny! this trip is a must! The scenery is spectacular!

Had I planned the trip better, I would have gone with an excursion operator and paid a little more because I wrongly assumed that 57.50 euros would allow me to climb to the top. Sadly it only took me to 2920 metres (via cable car and 4WD bus) where we were taken on a short walk with an obligatory guide... More

I was only in Sicily for 3 nights for a wedding, so I had one free day. It had to be Etna. Best to drive up to the cable car and get tickets for cable car and the 4x4 bus which includes a guide. 80mph winds on the top! Due to recent eruptions, ash covers the snow, and blows around... More

Stunning and beautiful. There are tons of reviews on this, but here is my what I think is a big tip. I was set to go to the top, chair lift, jeep, etc. We arrived at the lower level crater and were greeted by 60mph winds! The chair lift shut down numerous times while we were there. We chose not...

If you should do only 1 thing on Sicily, Mount Etna should be it! The drive up the mountain to Refugio Sapienze from Zafferena Etnea is already amazing. Buy your ticket for 57.50 euros in the official ticket booth to go up the mountain with a cable car and from there you will be transferred with a big jeep/bus to... More

We had a private tour arranged for us by our hotel (UNA Hotel Palace in Catania) and had a great morning exploring some of the craters, enjoying a fantastic view over Catania, a trip into one of the caves and stopped at a farm shop to sample local honey and oils. Our guide was excellent and told us a lot... More
