Our half-day tour of Mt. Etna with Etna People was fantastic. Our guide Tony, who grew up in a nearby village, shared his intimate knowledge of the mountain's history, ecology, and geology. He went into fascinating detail about the workings of a strato volcano and its impact on the region, not just its potential for destruction but also its role in providing water and enriched soil for local agriculture, including the fine wines produced there. He also has a great sense of humor! The tour provided shoes and jackets for those who needed them, included a visit to a lava cave, and finished with a fine lunch at a local vineyard, including samples of wine. It turned out to be much longer than a half day, and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Grazie mille!
