“4 hour round trip with my husband riding with our 9 year old daughter and myself with our 20 year old daughter. The route was away from the tourist side of Mount Etna and we went through a variety of landscapes up to 2,000m. Even though it was hot in the valley you definitely need a wind jacket at the top. We loved the adventure and the half way point where we met a local Etna expert. Great trip!”

“Great experience. Got a guided road bike tour up the mountain. They were very well organized and friendly. Greta was an excellent guide - very patient with an old, slow guy. Decent bike. Only quibble is that the bike had a semi-compact chainring and a not- very- easy cassette; they should get a little easier gearing for regular people doing that climb”

“What a fantastic and unique way to visit Mount Etna! It takes blood, sweat, and tears, but it's all worth it. Gino is an extremely enthusiastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and patient guide. Not only does he take the time to help you with your bike, but he also has lots of interesting stories about Mount Etna, including edible plants that he lets you taste. Is the descent too scary? No problem, we'll go slowly. Fallen and hurt your knee? Gino has disinfectant and bandages. Broken chain? Gino fetches tools from his home so you can get back on your bike in no time. Hikers laugh at you, then cheer you on.…”
