Hello, I’m Vincenzo. I’ve spent most of my life on and around Mount Etna, guiding people through its landscapes, geology, stories and constant changes. I love welcoming ToursByLocals travelers and making them feel as if we already know each other. That’s exactly the atmosphere I aim for: friendly, honest and easygoing. I enjoy sharing the volcano in a natural, relaxed and personal way — spending the day together, discovering the real beauty of Mount Etna, with clear explanations and an itinerary that naturally adapts as we go along. I am a certified volcanological guide, licensed tour leader, hiking guide and professional NCC driver. These qualifications allow me to manage every aspect of a private experience with safety, flexibility and good organization, so you can simply enjoy the day. My deep familiarity with the volcano helps you truly understand the geological environment you’re walking through, in a clear and accessible way. At the same time, each experience is shaped around the people I’m guiding. Whether you’re an experienced hiker, a family with children, or senior travelers who prefer an easier pace, the itinerary is always adapted to your abilities, interests and comfort. I live in a small town where Etna Bianco Superiore DOC is produced. Because of this, wine is a natural part of how I experience the volcano. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep knowledge of Etna DOC wines, local wineries and the unique relationship between volcanic soil, altitude and climate. I’m always curious to discover new tasting experiences, family-run cellars, traditional recipes and the culinary side of Sicilian culture. If you’re looking for a private way to explore Mount Etna with a knowledgeable, professional and genuinely friendly local guide, I’ll be happy to guide you. Sincerely, Vincenzo
