Non sono una persona facile agli entusiasmi ma è stata una delle esperienze più incredibili della mia vita. Un ringraziamento a Amilcare, Marco e Renato per quello che ci hanno raccontato, per come ci hanno accompagnato, per come ci hanno seguito. Siamo andati con un gruppo di amici numeroso ed eterogeneo, siamo stati accompagnati e affascinati dalle parole delle nostre guide, dalle spiegazioni così accurate e semplici che ci sono rimaste dentro. Il paesaggio è di per sé qualcosa di unico ma con loro è diventato magico. Grazie di cuore, stra-consigliatissimo 🙄

Our trip to Mount Etna with EtnAround exceeded all expectations, thanks in large part to our fantastic guide, Antonio. From start to finish, Antonio's professionalism, knowledge, and friendly demeanor made the experience truly memorable. Antonio's fluency in English ensured clear communication throughout the tour, and his deep understanding of the area provided valuable insights into the history and geology of Mount Etna. His passion for the subject matter was evident in the engaging commentary he provided, enriching our visit with fascinating facts and stories. Not only was Antonio informative, but he was also incredibly helpful and attentive to our needs. He went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and safety, making us feel well-cared-for throughout the excursion. I cannot recommend Antonio and EtnAround highly enough. If you're considering a tour of Mount Etna, look no further. With Antonio as your guide, you're guaranteed an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Antonio, and EtnAround, for a fantastic adventure!

Meravigliosa giornata con Sergio e Amilcare che, con la loro professionalità e simpatia, ci hanno condotto alla scoperta dell’Etna attraverso un percorso meno turistico ma davvero emozionante e sempre supportato da spiegazioni esaustive. Un trekking attraverso crateri e paesaggi “lunari” fino a 2.500 mt 😊. Plus non da sottolineare la fornitura, compresa nel prezzo, di scarpe, racchette e giubbotti anti vento etc. Grazie ancora per la magnifica giornata.
