Hi, I’m Marco, a licensed hiking and environmental guide with a deep connection to the Aeolian Islands, especially Vulcano, the island I call home. I have experienced Vulcano since childhood, exploring its trails, hidden beaches, volcanic landscapes, panoramic viewpoints and quiet natural corners with my family. Over time, this authentic bond with the island became both a passion and a profession: guiding travelers through the Aeolian Islands with experiences that are genuine, immersive and memorable. During my tours, I share the islands through their geology, history, local traditions, legends, scents, flavors and breathtaking views. My deep knowledge of the territory, local customs and everyday island life allows me to create experiences that go beyond a simple visit, helping guests truly connect with the soul of the Aeolian Islands. I offer experiential activities that I consider a true must for anyone visiting this extraordinary archipelago: panoramic hikes, nature walks, sunset experiences, local tastings, encounters with island traditions and private itineraries tailored to each traveler’s pace and interests. My goal is to let you experience the Aeolian Islands through the eyes of someone who knows and loves them deeply: walking through volcanic landscapes, discovering hidden details, listening to authentic stories, tasting local products and reaching the right places at the most beautiful moments of the day. Each tour is designed to be personal, engaging and meaningful: a journey through nature, culture, flavors, views and moments that will stay with you long after your visit.
