Die Tour hat uns in einem halben Tag so viel vom Ätna gezeigt wie möglich. Wir trafen uns pünktlich mit unserem freundlichen Guide Andrea in Catania und fuhren in einem Jeep zu siebt los. Immer wieder halteten wir und besichtigten ehemalige Krater, Lavahöhlen oder Aussichtpunkte. Dabei erklärte uns Andrea sehr bildhaft wie die Landschaft entstand, wie der Vulkan funktioniert und wie die Leute mit dem Vulkan zu leben lernen. Das abschliessende Tasting war sehr angenehm. Einzig die in der Beschreibung erwähnten Lavahöhlen können nicht mehr betreten werden, weil die Gefahr von Erdbeben zu gross ist. Ansonsten ist das Preis Leistungsverhältnis dieser Tour wirklich ausgezeichnet und Andrea war ein super Guide, der den Vulkan und das umliegende Gebiet von Kind auf und als professioneler Guide bestens kennt! Auch die Kommunikation in Vornherein mit dem Chatbot hat ausgezeichnet funktioniert.

I definitely will recommend this Etna trip to my friends and family. The tour guide (Alessio) was very kind and gave a lot of interesting information about the volcano, but it wasn't to much. The hiking route was well selected for the fitness level of the group. Thank you for this great experience : ) Best regards, Christina
