Mount Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe and a true icon of Sicily. This is your chance to venture either 1,900 or 2,900 metres above sea level to check out the lunar-like landscapes of the volcano's craters. You'll be driven from Taormina up the slopes of Mount Etna, where – if you've chosen to go up to 2,900 metres – you'll continue further up the mountain to reach the main crater for a guided walk and some epic views. If you opt to stay at 1,900 metres, there's free time to explore the nature trails around the Silvestri Craters, along with souvenir shops, cafés and a small museum that tells the story of the mountain's past. Either way, you'll want your camera for this one.

The guide was very informative and likable.

Ein imposantes Erlebnis, für uns hat die Basistour 1900Meter völlig gereicht um das Vulkanfeeling zu erleben. Was man unbedingt machen muss die beiden angrenzenden Krater für 5€ pro Person. Tolle Bilder.

Gids vertelde veel. Jammer dat we op 2500m niet hoger konden. Nadat we uit de Unimog stapte (kabelbaan was in onderhoud) werden we aan ons lot overgelaten Had gedacht met een gids naar de top van de Etna te gaan

Bältena i bussen var för korta. Lite trångt att sitta. Bra chaufför och guide.

Site extraordinaire. Vaut la peine d'être vu mais quel dommage toute cette pollution de déchets partout ! De plus, il a fallu payer 5 euros supplémentaires par personne pour accéder à un cratère. Très belle vue (dépend du brouillard). Le transport jusque là n'a pas été facile (mais je souffre du mal des transports) : trajet ? État du car ? Chauffeur ? Pas de ventilation et car rempli.

Wir waren sehr begeistert von der Tour, durch den Schnee konnten wir leider nicht ganz hoch , aber das hat Fabio mit seinem Enthusiasmus wettgemacht , sehr gut
