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.
