I have been working as a tourist guide since 1987 and love to share my knowledge, not only of history and architecture, but also of the flora, fauna, traditions and mythology that make Sicily a special and truly unique area of Italy. Such unique features are what make this region absolutely worth visiting. It is natural that, loving this area, I simply love to help people to get to know it, in all its aspects, positives, such as landscapes, culture, gastronomy, but also in the negative parts of its reality, like the economy and the mafia. My knowledge of a few foreign languages allows me to accompany travelers from all over the world on their Sicilian adventures. This, combined with my goal of satisfying all kinds of interests and curiosities of the culturally diverse of the groups I guide, allows me to be versatile and to personalize my tours to your wishes. The enthusiasm I put into my job leaves behind the old and very formal way of guiding groups, giving space to a relaxed enjoyable atmosphere for all, always based on the highest level of professionalism, balancing both information and a good time. I remain also at your full disposal to suggest alternative excursions and different itineraries, that could imply visiting an ancient fortress, as well as less known, but not less worthwhile archaeological sites. I believe also in the importance of supporting "my travelers" in picking stores, souvenirs, restaurants or pubs that will complete the nice memories of their Sicilian holiday. Join me on your own Sicilian adventure! I have been working as a tourist guide since 1987 I am a licensed escort for Italy and a licensed guide in the provinces of Messina and Agrigento in Sicily and now for the whole island. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Join me on this spectacular journey through several villages up to 2000 mt. on the southern slopes of the Mount Etna! Observe the diversity of landscapes along the way: from crowded towns to cultivated orange and lemon plantations, vast vineyards and chestnut woods, fields of prickly pears until the ancient lava flows and barren moon landscape near the summit. I will tell you about volcanology but also about the vegetation and fauna of this volcano and the risks and the advantages of living on the slopes of Etna. Discover the myths and legends that the ancient Greeks imagined to explain themselves phenomenons like the eruptions. . .
We will pass several villages such as Zafferana Etnea and Santa Venerina to get to 2000 meter. There we can take an easy walk around the Silvestri craters ( it takes about 15 minutes ) or we can have a look at the souvenirs stores, or taste the local honey directly from local producers. In the bars you can find the typical liquors and you can also watch a video about the last eruptions. If you have time and interest, and the weather conditions allow it, we can take the cable car to go up to 2650 meters. Of course we can customize the tour according to your needs and interests focusing on the subjects you like the most.
