I started working in the world of tourism by chance and this profession immediately became my passion: what could be better than to show the world you live in, with the enthusiasm and pride it deserves, to do the honors and make the visitor's stay special and unforgettable? I am a tour guide, a tour leader and also an environmental hiking guide in German and English and I live halfway between the sea and the mountain and by mountain I mean THE ultimate one: Mount Etna. It is the highest active volcano in Europe that dominates the sea and also faces the Pearl of the Ionian Sea, nowadays also known as the town of "The White Lotus Hotel", the beautiful Taormina. This union is then magically combined with the artistic wonders that surround us and that offer ever-new insights for experiential and niche tours, always appreciated worldwide. I studied history, art, archeology and geology and I usually guide along the eastern coastline of Sicily, from Messina until Catania. In addition to the "classic itineraries" I can organise different activities like paddleboarding tours along the coastline of Taormina, mountain bike tours, cooking class and street food tours, wine tasting, trekking excursions, off road excursions in jeep and, last but not least, ascending tours up to 3000 meters on Mount Etna, on board of big 4x4 vehicles. My audience is diverse: from groups to individuals, from students to trekking and mountain biking enthusiasts. At the end of each tour I return home happy, because it feels as if I have been out with friends who each time appreciate the enthusiasm, joy and helpfulness that we Sicilians know how to offer to those who visit us. Licensed tour guide, tour leader and environmental hiking guide. Professional courses in archaeology, art, history and geology about Sicily. Driving licence AB Master degree in political science. I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding, I can meet you at any places from Catania to Messina. I can drive a licensed tour operator vehicle.I can accompany with your private vehicle. I can provide vehicle and driver.

Overview of your Messina tour

This is a one day shore excursion, that will bring you through one of the best eastern coastline cities of Sicily. In a day trip to the discovery of Castelmola and Taormina, I will show you the natural and historical beauty of this part of the island. First of all we'll drive until Castelmola, a charming village where a stroll around is a must, with its cool medieval alleyways and picturesque piazza commanding views of the whole countryside, Mount Etna and the Ionic coastline. After visiting the village of Castelmola, I will take a quick tour of the Madonna Della Rocca Church, a 15th Century Church that has been carved out of a mountain, located just below the Saracens Castle, from where you will enjoy an extraordinary bird's eye view of Taormina and the Ancient Theatre. After visiting Castelmola and Madonna della Rocca Church we'll reach Taormina city center. On the way back, we'll stop at the panoramic Belvedere overlooking the magnificient Isola Bella.
