You don’t own the mountain. You belong to it.

What we learned growing up in the shadow of “Idda”

OUR STORY

Children of this land.

A Sicilian hilltop village with snow-capped Mount Etna behind

Chapter I

The roots

As children we watched the mountain smoke from our bedroom window. For many it was just a backdrop; for us it was a living presence, and its rumbles at night were a familiar lullaby.

We learned early to read the sky and to tell when “Idda” – “Her”, as we call Etna in Sicily – was calm and when she demanded respect and distance.

Chapter II

From passion to profession

Growing up, we realised that keeping this beauty to ourselves would be selfish. But we never wanted to recite a script: we wanted to become interpreters of the volcano.

We studied geology, volcanology and botany and earned the certifications the job requires: not for bureaucracy, but so that every step with our guests is safe and informed.

Chapter III

From Linguaglossa to all of Sicily

From Etna we reached the rest of the island: the Alcantara Gorges, Taormina and Isola Bella, the Aeolian and Egadi Islands, Syracuse and the Godfather villages. Today we are a licensed tour operator and a DMC for travel agencies and tour operators worldwide.

In 15 years we have guided more than 100,000 travellers. The way we work has stayed the same: small groups, local guides and a local team you can reach every day.

That trip was amazing! Our guide Massimo made this tour unforgettable, we learned from him a lot about mount Etna and its eruptions. The views were amazing, we ate good pasta and saw a lot of beautiful places. Massimo really knows a lot of things about everything we asked not only about mount Etna but also a lot of different things like living in Sicilia, the cities, the history. We were really excited about the trip and we are not disappointed at all so I highly recommend booking the tour with Max. We will definitely come back soon here, so we can reach the top of mount Etna. This trip was the best foretaste for that so it's really worth it. Thank you Max!

Organizacja i przewodnik rewelacyjny! Polecam Maxa i Jaquiline. Mimo, ze Jaquiline nie mówia po angielsku, a bya naszym kierowc, rozumiaymy sie swietnie. Max to bardzo uzdolniony przewodnik, mowi w kilku jzykach, bardzo ciekawie opowiada. Organizacja wycieczki też super, nie zabrako atrakcji, mnóstwo czasu na robienie zdj, zwiedzanie. Przewodnik czeka na każdego ze swojej grupy cierpliwie. Od razu zaznacza, że jesli ktos nie czuje sie na siach isc, aby powiedziec, bo to bardzo wazne. Czuymy si zaopiekowane. Ale powiedzmy sobie szczerze, trasa nie bya zbyt trudna ;) Za to widoki przepikne.
