Una esperienza fantastica, la guida competente e gentile, è stata una giornata molto bella e non la dimenticherò
Una escursione fantastica. La guida molto interessante, organizzazione perfetta.
A nice tour, visiting the Etna park including going to the volcano itself, a ‘lava tube’ cave, wine and food tasting in a local winery. Friendly guides tell about the volcano and its activities and how it impacts the surroundings.
