“We had a wonderful day with Vincenzo exploring Mt Etna. We were on the north side of the volcano to ensure we had the most memorable experience. We stopped along the way at a lava tunnel and went down inside the 'cave'. From there we continued up the mountain and Vincenzo led us on a hike up through the lava flows to the site of the most recent major eruptions. Highly recommend this best part of our Sicily trip.”

“What an amazing adventure hiking tour in the north side of Mount Etna Volcano. Thanks to Vincenzo's detailed guide, I got to know that Volcano is both history and culture in the Sicily area. I am so impressed by Vincenzo's knowledge and his passion. You can feel how deeply proud Vincenzo is of his hometown Sicily.”

“Etna is mesmerising and wonderful and Vincenzo is the best possible guide for experiencing this utterly beautiful mountain. He is so friendly, knowledgable and passionate about this region and very clear in explaining the natural process. Everyone in our group of 7 thought his personality, knowledge and guidance were a 10/10. Cannot recommend him more highly!”

“Could not recommend Vincenzo more highly. Everything from communication ahead of time, flexibility and advice around our options given weather and volcanic activity, to the trip itself. Vincenzo was knowledgeable and passionate about Mount Etna, was great with the kids, and gave us a memorable day out. It is the clear highlight of our trip.”

“Amazing guide! Very kind and caring, gave us jackets and boots because we went to the top of the Etna and it was a cold day. He led us on paths where other groups didn't go and gave us some freedom that only comes in small groups that he is leading. I loved that personal touch and would recommend Vincenzo anytime with great confidence.”
