Raffaele was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating during our tour of etna and a pistachio farm. He led a fabulous day! The meal at a family owned pistachio farm was a highlight (the food was cooked in the back of someone’s kitchen and we truly were guests in someone’s home). The tour was an absolute pleasure and would recommend without reservation!

This was a wonderful experience all around! Raffaele is very knowledgeable about the island as a whole, so we ended up getting a bonus with learning so much more than expected (about chestnuts, almonds, Sicily history/mythology, etc.). Even though I brought my own nuts (my parents lol JK), he made sure we had the best time going out of his way to create the best memories. The hike was a lot of fun and suitable for our hiking skill level, and the pistachio farm was our favorite part of the entire vacation. Samantha, her mother were very welcoming and hospitable, and the meal cooked for us was the one of the best you can find in Sicily. Worth every penny and cannot recommend this excursion enough.

We had a tour guide (Raffaele) who was fantastic. He took us to Etna, give us god information, just enough. We went to a pistachio farm, it was great. I recommend that tour to any one who wants to have a different experience

Raffaele was an amazing guide, and he did a super job explaining everything to us. He is very knowledgeable of volcanos, agriculture, and life in general in Sicily since he is a local guide. We loved the hike up Etna and the Pistachio lunch was incredible. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Sicily and we highly recommend booking this tour.

Wonderful mix of light hiking and excellent pistachio lunch. Our guide Raffaele was extremely knowledgeable about Mt Etna and Sicily.
