Unforgettable Mount Etna Experience with an Exceptional Guide - We had an unforgettable full-day Mount Etna experience guided by Giuseppe. His deep knowledge of the volcano’s flora, fauna, and history was truly impressive, and he explained everything with clarity and enthusiasm. Giuseppe set a comfortable hiking pace, making the experience enjoyable and accessible. He was also wonderful company during the drive to and from Syracuse. His passion for the region really shone through and made the day extra special. We wholeheartedly recommend Giuseppe and Sicily Unearthed — when we return to Sicily, we’ll definitely be booking another adventure with him. A truly memorable and enriching experience!

Wonderful day trip to Mount Etna - What an interesting day out with our excellent guide Guiseppe. My 16 year old son and I were fortunate to be the only guests as Guiseppe put in an extra day for us. We trekked the Sciena dell’Asina to the Valle de Bove and were fascinated by Guiseppe’s knowledge of the flora and fauna as we went along. Explanations of the volcano activity and lava flows - differences between volcanos across Italy and the world - really brought it all together. Etna is other- worldly and extraordinary - and Guiseppe’s passion for the natural world and his locale really brought it to life for us. I thoroughly recommend this trip - bring your enthusiasm and questions - everything else is already here!

Great experience, great guide - Wow! What a great experience. Giuseppe was a very knowledgeable guide whom we were very privileged to have exclusively to ourselves. He shared his knowledge of the history of past eruptions, current status and monitoring together with geology and habitat. As a mature retired couple he explained the route with options ensuring that we were safe throughout the day. We learnt a great deal from what he told us. We would not hesitate to recommend him as a guide.

Amazing Etna experience without the crowds!! - A must do day out when in Sicily. Giuseppe is a great host, incredibly knowledgeable and good fun. He took us on a route away from the crowds. For most of the hike we felt like the only people on the volcano!! A great memory made 😎

Don't miss this opportunity--it's fantastic! - This was a fabulous excursion and I highly recommend it. Our guide Giuseppe was fantastic--an expert in geology, culture, history, and botany. We learned so much from him and he made the day extraordinary. Don't miss the opportunity to take a trip with him--you won't regret it. He was on time picking us up, excellent communicating details ahead of time, and extremely patient with all of our questions. This was one of the best things we did while staying in Siracusa.

Etna Explored. - We had a wonderful day trekking up Etna. Giuseppe was an excellent guide,very knowledgeable and professional. We were collected from our hotel at the designated time and dropped off after the adventure. There were only seven in our party, Just the right number.
Tip: Be prepared, and take some warm lightweight clothing. The weather on Etna can be very changeable.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day out and would recommend it.

Unique Vulcano Hiking Experience - We had a great experience with Giuseppe and his dear friend Federika. Both were very friendly and we had a lot of good talks. Giuseppe has a very deep understanding of the Vulcano and Federika was a great company. It was like a hiking trip with new friends 🙏🏻
I can 100% recommend this experience.
Grazie Mille Federika e Giuseppe!
