We were undecided until the day before we went as to whether we wanted to take an organised tour to Mount Etna. In the end it seemed a best value for money judgement to pay 75 euros each for an all day tour rather than drive to the Refugio Sapienza, take the cable car and pay for a guide with... More

A friend and I went on Eddy's Etna to Alcantara tour and had the most amazing day. There was only 1 other lady on the tour, so the small group made it even better. Eddy is incredibly knowledgeable about vulcanology, and also the history of Sicily in general. He knows several languages, and is a lovely, friendly guy. He took... More

Simply gorgeous....Full of little shops and great views, a beautiful amphitheatre, and Mount Etna in the background! I had the most delicious orange granita!!! In the square there were fantastic musicians performing, I wish I had bought their CD. The road up a bit intimidating (very steep, I am a bit afraid of heights, but I didn't look down, so... More

What a great excursion..! As someone who doesn't often like organised trips, this was a really great surprise. Eddy, our highly knowledgeable (and linguistically talented) guide took us exploring Mt Etna by Jeep and on foot beginning with a walk through a lava tunnel (torches and helmets provided) followed by stops to view immense lava flows, take in the craters...

My family of four (2 adults / 2 teens) took the Mt Etna Tour and really enjoyed it. When I signed up, I did not realize how physical some of the walking would be... perhaps it was worse for us because we had snow to deal with which made footing difficult, but you should be aware that there is some...

Eddy is an outstanding guide and good guy too! If you want to understand the geology and why Etna is Etna, and more about the history of the island these are the people. Highly professional. Only reservation is the need to be reasonably fit. Not a question of distance or steepness of slopes. But some of the walking, particularly if... More

The Greek and Roman remains in Syracuse are definitely worth a visit. We especially enjoyed the Ear of Dyonesius More
