Meet Vincenzo Modica

"Etna is mesmerising and wonderful and Vincenzo is the best possible guide. He is so friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about this region and very clear in explaining natural processes."

"A world class adventurer, with a keen eye for safety. Accommodating in every regard, funny, and chock full of information."

"Everyone in our group of 7 thought his personality, knowledge and guidance were a 10/10. Highly recommended."

"An extremely passionate and knowledgeable human being who makes you fall in love with Etna. His passion for the volcano is incredible — he passes on extensive knowledge of volcano science, myth and local culture."

"Vincenzo made the tour a very special experience. He gave lots of information in a beautiful storytelling way. A versatile 3h hike over lava fields, along new grown meadows with many craters, a huge lava bomb and breathtaking views. We loved every bit — also the final lava dust slide."

"It was a great excursion and Vincenzo was amazing. He knew so much about the area and flora and history of Mt. Etna. A very interesting excursion for us. I would highly recommend!"

"Our tour with Vincenzo was really great! He took the time to talk to everyone from the group. Knows a lot about the Etna and didn't step too fast."

"Amazing guide! Very kind and caring, gave us jackets and boots because we went to the top of the Etna and it was a cold day."

"Vincenzo was incredibly knowledgeable with a great deal of passion for talking about Mount Etna and keen to answer any questions. The walk up to the craters was well paced and not too taxing with a couple of stops along the way to take photos and learn about our surroundings."

"Could not recommend Vincenzo more highly. Everything from communication ahead of time, flexibility and advice around our options given weather and volcanic activity — absolutely top class."

"We had a wonderful day with Vincenzo exploring Mt Etna. Absolutely incredible experience. Highly recommend this, best part of our Sicily trip."

"We had a great guide with us who could tell us all about the Etna — all the ins and outs, how eruptions work and how they changed the scenery. He also knew his flora and fauna."

"Great guide. Knowledgeable, personable, and fun to be around. A fantastic tour."

"The experience was fantastic — being on the Etna basin was otherworldly."
