“Could not have been more fun and our drivers and guide were great! We stopped at sites with great reviews of history and structures, stopped for gelato at a place/ piazza identified as great by Stanley Tucci in his food search TV program (the red wine gelato is very good!) I expected something quick and cursory. This tour is not that! Loved it. And they are very accommodating for those with mobility issues, even to the point of positioning the side cars for maximum views and listening to the guide speaking.”

We loved the tour in that it was a mix of athletic rigour and otherworldly views all accompanied by our amazing tour guide who is a true mountain explorer, a terrific person and a knowledgable and nature-loving human being. For me this tour isn't only about the volcano and its explosions but mostly about the trek around the mountain, exploring its views from different angles and becoming one with nature.
