Overview

There are many possibilities and ways to get to know our "mother" Etna, but doing it with a private tour with a local certified guide is certainly different! These are purely private tours, aimed at differentiating themselves from the usual group tours in which, more often than not, you do not have the opportunity to get to know the site and the local community in depth
