Ciao, people! I’m Davide, a trained, certified Volcano Private Guide from Sicily, with a keen interest and expertise on Mount Etna.
Our company, ESPLORA360 (formerly known as Continente Sicilia) is accreditated by the Sicilian Tourist Board as Travel Agent and Tour Operator.
Our History…
Our company started to guide groups around Sicily in 1996. We specialize in private tours for couple, small to medium size groups or families with children. The goal of each tour is to share the knowledge of the area by paying attention to your interest and the weather.
All ESPLORA360’s guides are certified and whether you are looking for an easy, medium or challenging level of difficulty, we will be sure to provide you with a tailor-made tour.
The Mount Etna volcano has been our specialty since 1999. The volcano area can be packed with tourists, we can help you avoid those areas because we really know the whole Mt. Etna area.
In 1999 I arrived from Palermo on the East Coast of Sicily and saw my first eruption. It was Aug 26th. UNFORGETTABLE! All experiences since that day have been the same. To see one of these most exciting natural events always stirs the emotions. It is AWESOME!!!
Mount Etna is one of the most active volcanos worldwide, but she is not always erupting. Therefore if you’d like to see an eruption, keep your fingers crossed. If that dosen’t work, she will be unforgettable even without molten lava!
Remember that we are glad to guide you during your visit in Sicily, not only on Mount Etna. Feel free to ask about any other Sicilian destinations as well!
We booked a full day tour, the North slope of Etna, lunch at a winery and Alcantara gorge. Davide was an excellent guide, pacing the walking to suit our sore muscles and showing us how to use poles. We really appreciated the wealth of knowledge that Davide has and his enthusiasm for sharing this with tourists. We highly recommend Davide
From the moment Davide picked us up from our hotel in Acireale we knew we were in for a fabulous day. He was so friendly and is so passionate about Mt Etna. Unfortunately it was very windy on the mountain the day of our visit so we couldn’t spend much time up there but Davide did his best to make sure it was memorable for us.
