We had a fantastic experience with Ashara Volcanological Guides during our entire hiking tour. Our guide Massimo was one of the best guides that I’ve ever had.
Escursione a dir poco emozionante e carica di adrenalina! La guida vulcanologica che ci ha accompagnati (Massimo F.), è preparatissima.
Trekking fantastico sui Crateri Sommitali dell’Etna
We had an extremely good hiking experience, the guide gave us a lot of information and answered all our questions in a very detailed way. The visit to the central crater was an experience that I really suggest to do. The landscape is truly beautiful.
