The tour was a lot of fun, with a visit to a lava cave, a tasting, and, of course, the sunset on Mount Etna. There was plenty of time for photos and Kevin was able to answer all our questions about the volcano and its surroundings. A really great tour and a very good tour guide! Definitely recommended!”

Ride Etna’s cable car, bounce up in a 4x4, then walk near the Central Craters with a volcano guide in Sicily.

“Great trip!!! However, the problem is finding a special ticket office where you can validate your ticket. There is no trace of this special ticket office. I finally found it after asking several people, but it is not a special ticket office, just an office. I don't understand why it is not possible to put a sign there.”

“It was a great tour and Francesco was every knowledgeable and helpful. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side so we couldn't see the sunset or anything from the amazing view but still the last stop was all worth the trip. Walking on the tip of Etna's craters was exhilarating and an absolutely unique experience. I absolutely recommend this trip, if was great value for money even without experiencing the sunset.”

Etna Morning Trip

11.Etna Morning Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,241 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $71.35

Morning guided walk on Mount Etna from Catania, up to inner craters and a lava cave, with headlamp and helmet.

“Leonardo was great!! The cave tour was really cool!! Wish we did more hiking while at Etna. There was a higher “summit” that most people were doing that looked like a lot more fun than the small loop we ended up doing. Perhaps skipping the lava flow at the winery would have provided more time to hike. Lunch at the location was very delicious and seller enjoyed the special treat at the end.”

Mt. Etna and Taormina village full day tour from Catania

12.Mt. Etna and Taormina village full day tour from Catania

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,155 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $118.51Top rated

Mt. Etna trekking, Grotta dei Tre Livelli lava cave, tasting in Enoteca Dell’Etna, and Taormina views on a small-group day trip.

“Our wonderful tour operator, Lorenzo, made the trip so enjoyable, keeping us entertained and sharing fascinating stories and cultural facts along the way. Just a heads-up — the cable car lift comes at an extra cost of €80 per person, which adds up for a family of three. Also, the wine tasting featured only two wines, so it didn’t quite match the full tasting experience mentioned in the description.”

From Catania: Mount Etna Sunset Tour with Tasting and Cave

13.Mount Etna Sunset Tour with Tasting and Cave

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,119 reviews · from $45.55Best value

Sunset on Mount Etna from the Silvestri craters, plus local tastings and optional lava-cave access for a 3 to 5 hour Catania escape.

“The staff is friendly and responds quickly to questions. They were punctual and the service was polite and attentive. Mount Etna is an unmissable tour from Catania and I recommend it. Most of the route is done by van and part of the route, from the craters of Mount Etna, requires a walk of about 20 minutes of low difficulty. However, older people may not be able to do it as it is a slight climb.”

The stops were great and since we left in the morning it was also not too crowded. The Lavacave was also very interesting to see. Thanks for all the background information. The most exciting was the small walk around the Silvestri Craters.”
