Summary: We never leave reviews here but had to comment on how amazing this trip was. We expected the landscape on the way to Etna to be spectacular and for Etna itself to be unforgettable but we didn’t expect our guide, Leonardo, to make what was already unbelievable even better. He is professional yet brought a lovely sense of humour to the trip, he is knowledgeable and passionate, he explained everything about the geology in such a way that the whole group understood, and we felt super safe with him driving us up and down winding roads. Grazie mile, Leonardo, sei il migliore!
