Amazing hidden gem in Avola Sicily - Stumbled across this hiking tour by accident on TripAdvisor but it turned out to be one of the best highlights of our holiday. The hike itself was relatively easy and the natural pool at the bottom was definitely worth the upward climb afterward. We had Fredricko as our guide who wasn't just easy to talk to but also kind and helpful and really took the time to make the hike worth it with his knowledge of the area, the plantation and general tourist activities in Scilly. He is truly amazing and I refuse to stop singing his praises.

Must-do experience in Siracusa - We would recommend this tour to everyone who likes nature, walking and amazing views!
At first we wanted to do the tour by ourselves but we are happy we chose the guided tour. Federico took us all the way down to the water pool while explaining lots about the history of the area, the plants, etc. We had good talks, and time went by too fast... The descent and uphill hike were less hard than what we imagined.

Highly recommend this experience! - We had an amazing time hiking with Frederico. It's a short drive from Siracusa and Frederico kept us entertained with information about the location. The views, sights, and sounds were amazing. Frederico was so knowledgeable about the location and plants. The pool at the bottom of the hike was beautiful and we all ejoyed a swim in the cold, clear water. This hike back up was a good workout!

A beautiful excursion!! - Frederico gave us a wonderful tour of the cavagrande reserve. We were a small group which made it perfect to hike and talk. Frederico gave us very interesting explainations and facts about the area.
I really recommend the tour !!
Also, we have some small rain and fog when we went but it gave an autumnal atmosphere which was also very beautiful.

Reasonable easy hike with the reward of a swim in freshwater pools. - This was a lovely excursion from Syracuse, The scenery was amazing and the hike to the pools manageable. Frederico was a great guide, very knowledgeable abut the history of the area, the flora and fauna. Having a swim and lunch at the rock pools was great fun.
