β β β β β Really liked Etna but really disliked the "guided" part of the so called guided tour. My hopes for an informative (or at least entertaining) excursion proved to be entirely too optimistic.
We purchased a guided tour from Etna Nord where they take you up and down the mountain on a 4x4 bus. Our guide (from Gruppo Guide Etna Nord) did not say a word all the way up the mountain and only spoke when others asked specific questions. Even then, he only spoke Italian -- no attempt whatsoever to accommodate other languages. Amazingly, the guide actually complained that people were bothering him with too many questions!
On top of that (pun! pun!), the tour does not take you to the peak -- only to the two craters just below the peak (Cratere Centrale and Bocca Nuova). Hiking to the peak as well as to the most volatile Cratere Nord-Est is not allowed.

β β β β β I want to thank the guide from this company on the 16/10/2020 Etna south trip for helping me on my way down from the summit despite me not being part of their group.
Unfortunately due to limited planning I decided to go to Etna without a guided tour by bus (mainly because the information I got was 1.going above 2900m to the summit was no longer allowed 2. Most summit tours I could find meet at the cable car at an earlier time than the public transport arrives, and tours I found that included transfer are mostly half day tours that did not go to the summit.
Anyways I went by public bus from Catania and bought the cable car+bus+guide ticket to go to 2900m, at which point I realized reaching the summit was possible. Having met someone who came down from the summit trail & being told that they did the summit without the guide, I decided to also do it by myself.(NOT RECOMMENDED!)
It was an easy way up but at the top it got quite windy after a little while. Most of the summit tours were starting to go down at this point and I passed a few of them who asked me to go back. I turned back and it got windier. At this time the tour guide (unfortunately I didnβt catch his name) passed by me and asked me to stay with his group to go down. He helped me tremendously on the slippery sandy/rocky path down on the first part of the trail.
I just want to thank him again for his kindness and professionalism as a mountain guide and I would not hesitate to book with this company in the future if I ever come back to Mt. Etna again.

β β β β β Fantastic tour of Etna and great company to book through. We did the helicopter ride. Little was said as part of the tour from the air as you are taking in a lot. Be sure to ask questions if you like as there is always an answer. The pilot was very good. Who ever sits in the front will get the best images. Guides spoke English. I would do this again if I go back. Golf course we took off from was also beautiful. Thank you Francesca!
