Hiking in Sicily

Gabriele is very competent, patient, and personable. I learned much about Sicily, its food and its culture, from him. He pays great attention to detail. Plus, he is really funny!

Hiking in Sicily

Gabriele was excellent—approachable, very knowledgable about many aspects of Sicily,  very flexible, and had a good sense of humor.

Keith J.

Orinda, CA
Hiking in Sicily

When we needed something, Gabriele was right there for us. I never doubted his knowledge of the area, and on our hikes he had eyes in the back of his head and knew where everyone was and how they were doing.
