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 the raw power of Mount Etna on this 5/6 hours guided adventure from Catania. With a licensed Tour Guide, journey up to 2,900 meters near the summit of Europe’s most active volcano. After hotel pick-up, travel through Etna’s dramatic lower slopes, passing ancient lava flows and craters. From the base at 1,900 meters, we ascend to panoramic heights where, on clear days, views stretch to the Aeolian Islands. Walk across recent lava fields as I share Etna’s fascinating history, geology, and legends. This tour is a unique chance to witness the ever-changing landscape of this iconic volcano.
Your Catania tour itinerary
The adventure begins with a pick-up at 8:30 AM from Catania (hotel pick-up available) and a scenic drive through Etna’s lower slopes, passing lava flows, ancient craters, and striking volcanic landscapes. We reach the starting point at 1900 meters, and after we'll cruise to 2900 meters. At this high altitude, you’ll enjoy panoramic views over Sicily and, weather permitting, even the Aeolian Islands. I will explain the history, geology, and myths of Etna while leading you across recent lava fields and volcanic formations. It's an extraordinary experience in one of the most dynamic places on Earth.
