- 7h

What's included, what's not
- This tour includes transportation on an open-top bus (hop-on hop-off bus). In the event of adverse weather conditions, the service will be provided using a closed bus.
- During the journey, the bus will make stops for scenic views and photo opportunities along the road leading to Mount Etna and in the village of Nicolosi, a picturesque hamlet on the slopes of the volcano.
- The main destination is the Monti Silvestri clearing (at an altitude of approximately 1,900 meters/6,237 feet), where the bus will stop to allow visitors to explore the extinct craters and enjoy the breathtaking panorama of the Ionian Coast.
- From this point, Jeeps, quad bikes, and the cable car also depart to continue up to the summit of the volcano (these activities are optional and not included in the price).
- On the return journey, there will be a stop in Zafferana Etnea, where you can enjoy a free honey tasting. Honey and souvenirs will be available for purchase at the same shop.
- The tour will end at the same pick-up point.
What you can expect
The tour starts at 11:30 am at our office at Via Vittorio Emanuele II 155, just a few steps from Catania Cathedral. From here, the route winds through the picturesque villages of the Etna area to Nicolosi, where a short stop will allow you to soak up the authentic atmosphere of this village at the foot of the volcano.
The trip continues towards Mount Etna, up to Rifugio Sapienza. Here, participants will have approximately three hours of free time to enjoy the experience at their own pace: they can take the cable car or jeep up to the central crater (services not included), walk along the craters, explore the surrounding area, or simply relax in the local bars and restaurants, taking in spectacular views that stretch from the volcano to the sea.
On the way back, there will be a stop in Zafferana Etnea, a charming village famous for its honey and local products: here, participants will be able to taste different varieties of local honey and discover the authentic flavors of the area.
The experience concludes in Catania at around 6:00 pm, with participants returning to the same office at Via Vittorio Emanuele II, 155.
