Mount Etna: Trek to 3000m with cable car and 4x4 - The cable car ride to 2,500 meters

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,823 reviews · 5 hours · from $65Our pick

Review of Mount Etna’s 3,000-meter trek, with cable car, 4x4, lava channels, expert guides, costs, gear, and practical tips.

“The experience of being on the mountain, with our guide Giuseppe was incredible. Found ourselves in places and seeing things that I never would have imagined, thanks to his expertise. His English was good, and he was able to impart much knowledge about Etna, its history and some fascinating geologic info. Highly recommend. I’m 62, relatively good shape and it wiped me. Pro tip: carry as little as possible while allowing for weather conditions, and bring a snack. I used a backpack (daypack) that was too heavy with stuff I never used.”

“Eddy our driver has been absolutely adorable and professional. Right on time for the start pick up as for the finish. Safely drives us around. Really flexible to drop us off in the Main Street as ask from us. Good job Or guide Roman for the trekking was amazing, really professional and safe but relaxed and friendly attitude meanwhile. He was so funny and put such a great mood in the group of 6 that we were. Always asking if we were okay and gave us as many breaks as we needed. He personally helped me a lot when I was struggling to climb as it was slippery, uneven and…”

From Chania: Full-Day Samaria Gorge Trek Excursion & Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,191 reviews · 9 - 12 hours · from $41

Review of Crete’s Samaria Gorge trek from Chania, with route details, costs, difficulty, guide tips, ferry ride, and practical advice.

“The tour guide and transportation were great! The gorge itself has too many people. Often, the foot path is only wide enough for one person. With so many people on the paths, some fast, some slow, it kind of sucks. Also, the bathrooms suck. For the amount of money the gorge park takes in, improve the lousy bathrooms.”

Review of Mount Etna’s summit trek with cable car, including costs, route, fitness needs, volcanic conditions, guides, and practical tips.

“The tour was very nice, our guide, Raffaelo, was a very pleasant and passionate volcano admirer. He took care of the whole group and checked on everyone repeatedly to ensure that no one is falling behind. He even carried an older lady downhill where it was too complicated for her to walk further! This said, please pay attention that the speed you'll be walking with is a speed of the slowest in the group, so enjoy the more relaxing walk:)”

Overall, a very successful alternative program. Grazie mille, Antonio!”

Truly a trip to remember. Just some heads up: We LOVE being outdoors and long walks, but if that’s not your thing this likely isn’t for you. Also, if you get carsick or motion sick, the can ride may be a lil rough for you.”

The hike itself was stunning, featuring beautiful waterfalls and rice terraces at a very comfortable, easy pace. Lunch was both delicious and plentiful, providing a great taste of the local cuisine. We also appreciated that the stop at the King and Queen Pagodas felt relaxed and not at all rushed. This tour covers a lot of ground and is truly great value for money. Highly recommended!”
