Dear Customer, we inform you that every Sunday in October our tours on the Etna volcano will undergo some changes both in the departure time, route and in the itinerary. The tasting in Zafferana etnea will not be carried out due to a Gastronomic event that does not allow the regular transit within the municipality of Zafferana etnea . The tour will be regularly active with the utmost safety and transparency. We apologize for the inconvenience.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

During the winter months, the itinerary may be subject to changes at the guide’s discretion due to snow or ice, closed roads, or the inability to access impassable roads or paths, always respecting the rules and safety.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
