I was wondering how much elevation, climbing up mountains this involves and going down? I was also wondering if it roads near mountain ledges if someone is scared of heights and being near edges. Can you help me understand what the route is like? Also, did you have specifics on how many km?

Unfortunately in that period we only have availability for the Hike and Bike Tour in the south of Sicily which starts on the 30th September. It's an 8-day tour. If you are interested let us know and we can give you more information.

Please send details on bike rental options. Also, is it possible to have a private room?

We don't have any participants for that particular tour on that starting date however we can offer you a private tour price where you would be on your own or you could join another group which starts a similar tour on the 24th. Bike rental is included in the price of the tour.

If I could give the team that made this incredible trip possible 10 stars I would!! What an incredible week we had thanks to Maurizio, Vincenzo, Manuela and Claudio. The terrain we hiked and biked through was beautiful and the stories and information Vincenzo and Manuelo shared on our journeys was informative and interesting and made everything come alive. I know this sounds corny (especially coming from a jaded New Yorker) but I felt like I was spending time with new friends who wanted to show me all the amazing things their region had to offer. The hotels we stayed in were small establishments where we met the owners who were the same people who cooked incredible meals for us each night. I did not feel like a tourist and that is no small feat. We will definitely be back for the tour of southern Sicily next year.Show more

I did the Etna tour. I very much appreciated the switch of hiking and biking that allows one to visit different locations. For me the whole trip turned out to be very well-organized and fun of course. I've read some of the previous comments. However, judging by the three different guides I had on my tour I cannot confirm that there are problems with the English. You may find that the personnel of your accommodations is a bit more limited in which case your guides can help you out if need be. A found it a huge plus that the reorganisation of trips went smooth and easy when the wheather conditions (my trip was early April) required adjustment of plans, so no worries here. Do I need to comment on the food? I'd say no, it is Sicilia after all. You probably know what to expect from proper Italian food. In case you don't - try and find out, you won't be left dissappointed.Show more
