Ciao! I’m Saro, a licensed Tour Guide of Sicily and proud Sicilian with a deep love for the land I call home. Based near Catania, I’ve been guiding travellers through the wonders of Sicily for over 13 years—after leaving behind a career in finance to follow my true passion: sharing the beauty, history, and soul of this incredible island. I like volcanoes, nature, snowboarding and playing sports, walking and hiking, mountain biking, outdoor adventures, photography and chatting. I love cooking, food and good wine. From the dramatic landscapes of Mt. Etna to the Baroque splendour of Syracuse and the lively streets of Catania, I offer immersive private tours designed to spark curiosity and connection. I specialize in full-day and half-day experiences, always customized to fit your interests. Whether you're a cruise guest with limited time or a traveller seeking a deep dive into Sicilian culture, I’ve got you covered. I’m a licensed Nature & Walking Guide associated with Federescursionismo Sicilia and a Mountain Bike Guide associated with Amibike.

Overview of your Catania tour

Experience Sicily’s wild heart and authentic taste in this exclusive half-day private tour. Departing directly from your cruise port of Catania, I will take you on a journey through breathtaking volcanic landscapes, charming mountain villages, and genuine Sicilian hospitality. As we ascend the slopes of Mount Etna, the ever-active giant that defines our island, you’ll hear fascinating stories of its eruptions, myths, and life on the world’s most famous volcano. Stop to walk on ancient lava fields, admire panoramic views stretching to the sea, and breathe in the crisp mountain air scented with pine and volcanic minerals. After the adventure, indulge your senses with a tasting of local wines, honey, olive oil, and homemade products from family-run farms — the true essence of Sicilian tradition.
