Took the afternoon tour and we got lucky with the weather—clear skies and not too hot. Our guide, Luca, kept things interesting for my kids with little stories about eruptions. The 4x4 ride was bumpy but fun. We all slept like babies after.

If you’re into nature, this is a MUST. Did the tour with two buddies and we still talk about it. The climb was intense but the reward at the summit… can’t describe it. Our guide let us take a break whenever needed—no pressure.
