Etna Alba: Exciting excursion with Typical Sicilian Breakfast (Private Tour)

We’ve had the most magnificent ETNA-day with Augusto. At dawn he took us to a hidden spot on the rim of Valle del Bove, to admire how the first rays of a purple-orange morning sun gradually enlightened Mama-Etna. A sight of unmatched beauty. As the golden bridge of the Sun started to build up over the misty blue sea, he surprised us with an impromptue picnic, pastry served with cappuccino and freshly prepared milk froth. The entire day went on in this spirit: Augusto doing all possible to make our day on (and inside) Mama-Etna unforgettable. We learned about Sicilian history in both human and earthly dimensions, about Mama-Etna’s life (yes, a living creature!), and her journey towards the centre of the island (Palermo, beware!), Sicilian culture … and … yes … gastronomy. What a wonderful and rich gastronomy! At the end of a week-long stay, when we thought to have seen and experienced most of what Sicily has to offer, Augusto made us desperately wanting to go back. He is a highly knowledgeable personal guide with an exceptional ambition and ability to enchant his guests. We are waiting for his call, whenever Mama-Etna gets bored of chain-smoking and starts to spit fire again. We agreed to hop on the first plane then…

My Fiancè booked this private tour as a surprise, he had been to Mt. Etna multiple times before. We spent a total of 13 days in Sicilia and our day at Etna with Augusto was our favorite part! Mt. Etna herself is breathtaking, but the way in which she is presented on the tour is incredible! Augustos knowledge, passion, and friendliness is something's we will always remember. I will suggest this tour to anyone visiting Sicilia. Thank you so much!!!
