5.00After years I was able to do a tour excursion on Mount Etna and I'm glad to have had Saro as our guide! he was attentive to the small details to make us live this experience to the fullest both from the organizational point of view, he advised us to leave early in the morning but we were the first to start and get to the top without long waits, which from the cognitive aspect of the volcano in every respect! once we arrived at the top we found ourselves at the foot of the great "mom" and a breathtaking view! see the contrast of the black lava and the whiteness of the snow was incredible! Put your hand on the lava and feel the warmth with the contrast of the cold snow... I would recommend all my friends to turn to Saro for a fantastic experience!
Fabulous trekking experience !

5.00We had an unforgettable tour with Saro. The Easy Hiking Tour is perfect for people with normal, good physical condition and of course higher level (Saro creates individual tours according to the personal level). We were a small group of four people with mixed fitness levels. While my partner has a high athletic level, I have a rather low normal level and am also afraid of heights. Saro put the tour together in such a way that all of us had a perfect experience. He knows routes that are much less touristy and offer a wonderful and varied experience of nature. He has in-depth and very broad knowledge, which he communicates very vividly and with heart, and he is an incredibly authentic and likeable person. Saro helps with the equipment in advance (included in the price). I borrowed trekking boots and a walking stick, and for the visit of the lava tube there was a hairnet (hygiene, thank you!) and a decent helmet with light (not an unsuitable builder's helmet) and torch. At all times I felt safe, in good hands and challenged to the right extent. Our visit was rounded off with a stop at a family-run agritourism. This day was a great gift, thank you Saro! One thing is certain: on my next visit to Sicily, another tour with Saro is a must! 😉
A truly special experience!

5.00BIGSARO helped me organise and realise my fiancés 30th birthday present by hiking Mount Etna and it was truly special! We could have gone with any other tour guide, but Saro specifically made our experience unforgettable with his genuine soul, passion and humour! He catered to our needs, helped us out with hiking boots (as us rushing rookies forgot them back in the UK). He took us on a quiet, non-touristy trail which made us feel like we had the whole mountain completely to ourselves - Saro knows Etna like the back of his hands! We were gobsmacked by the unimaginable landscapes as we hiked up Etna. We finished the tour inside the lava tubes (and even turned all the lights off at one point - a very funny experience) topped off by some tasting of local produce at a lovely family run farm. We started the tour as rookies and left with more knowledge, wisdom and appreciation for Sicilian culture! Grazzie Mille to Saro! If you are hesitating to book - amuninni!!

5.00An amazing day with an amazing guide. Despite the very bad weather, Saro made our trip to Etna unforgetable. He was extremely helpful and shared his incredible knowledge about the region, its history, culture and cuisine in a very interesting and funny way. He is very passionate about his work and you can feel it in every minute.

5.00This was simply the best experience we have ever booked whilst on holiday. We were fortunate as we enjoyed our Etna experience in the most glorious weather but I think despite our good fortune weather-wise, Saro would have made it the most amazing experience anyway as he was so friendly, knowledgeable and so very kind to all of our family. He went out of his way to give us the very best experience and we felt that we also made a friend at the end of the day. I cannot recommend him and his company highly enough and we hope to come back before too long 😁.
