Mt Etna by Neilzonwheelz
There are various trips you can do with Mt Etna, from taking a train around the base of the volcano to actually trekking to the very rim, encased in steam & sulphur. Guide took about 10 of us up, cost $55 euro each. Very informative, appeared to be multi lingual, funny - overall entertaining, also safe. Approx time for tour was about 5 hours.
Recommend hiking boots, Walking pole/s, Sunglasses. beany and all weather jacket because the weather does change, anything that stops rocks getting in your boots, I ended up with half the mountain in mine!.
