Family expedition with Santi.
Our family’s Etna expedition was absolutely unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Santi. His deep professional knowledge, genuine passion for the volcano, and the way he shared it with us made the entire experience feel both exciting and meaningful. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure every moment was enjoyable for all of us.
We wholeheartedly recommend Santi to anyone planning to explore Etna — he truly is what a passionate and informative guide should be about and he turned our trip into a memory we’ll treasure for years. Thank you Santi!

The perfect experience
Beautiful hike and Santi, our guide, was nothing short of perfect!
We were 3 families and 3 children, period June 2025.
Our morning on Mount Etna (south/east side) began around 9 am, with pick up from Zafferana, walk in the lava caves and visit to the craters; with the children we reached an altitude of 2,100 m.
The professionalism, kindness, competence of Santi has overwhelmed us and made our families live an unforgettable memory.
Excursion suitable and accessible to everyone, conducted in total safety, an experience that I would recommend to anyone to live.
Thank you, Santi.
We will be back, hopefully soon!

A fantastic trip with an amazing guide
We absolutely loved the trip and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to explore Mount Etna and the area in a fun and easy way. It was a perfect blend of breathtaking views, learning many interesting facts, exploring a lava tunnel and tasting of delicious local produce.
Our guide Santi was truly amazing. He is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. He shared a lot of interesting information on the volcanic activity, nature and surroundings, as well as recommendations for other activities in the area.
It was the best experience and absolute pleasure. Thank you Santi for an unforgettable trip!

Mythical Saints!
What about it? Santi overwhelms you with his passion for "Idda" and involves you with simple explanations, like a true professional in the field. Attentive observer and connoisseur not only of this wonderful volcano, but of the whole territory.
Never boring and obvious, it managed to keep intrigued all the time even our lively child! An excursion to do necessarily, the eyes and heart will thank for so much beauty! Thank you Saints!
