On time and well organised, although the guide could have been a little more explicit in her explanations - we weren't sure exactly what to do at certain times (although when we asked her she was more than happy to give us the details). Everything was as we expected and very worthwhile.

Guter Service - wir wurden da abgeholt, wo uns bequem war, dank problemlosem Kontakt über E-Mail. Einzigartiges Erlaubnis auf Ätna ist empfehlenswert. Aber sehr langes anstehen in den Schlangen für die Seilbahn und nachher für die Geländewagen um oben anzukommen, sodass keine Zeit bleibt um da etwas Zeit zu verbringen und sich anzugucken, weil man schon zurück in den Bus muss.

Im Vorfeld wurden individuelle Fragen über das Medium WhatsApp super schnell beantwortet. Der Abholort wurde vom Dienstleister selber vorgeschlagen und hat super geklappt. Die Durchführung war klasse, sicher und die Reiseleiterin Alexandra super nett und sehr informativ, ohne zu viel Infos zu erzählen. TOP von der Buchung bis Tourende! Vielen Dank dafür.

Mount Etna itself was fantastic, however the trip was awful. We basically paid for a coach ticket there and back which was way overpriced. We didn’t know no tour was included as the description said ascend from a cable car and jeep. When we got off the bus, the guide gathered everyone together but told us that we only had the basic ticket. She took everyone else off up the mountain and pointed vaguely in the direction we needed to go to see a crater. So we had no guide at all.
