This competency and expertise are necessary prerequisites that, in addition to a significant understanding of botany, geology, zoology, cartography, elements of meteorology, first-aid techniques and a comprehension of the legislations regulating tourism are considered mandatory for the successful attainment of the Guiding Excursionist licence, granted by the Regional or Provincial Authority. In this respect, our licensed guides can, without any doubt, be considered specialists able to offer the best possible explorative experience, whether for single individuals or groups, always in the full respect of health and safety regulations, even when venturing into areas affected by volcanic activity.
The considerable knowledge of the territory over which our guides operate together with their substantial theoretical formation, places our professional guides in a position of prominence with regard to high-level explorative and sportive activities. In fact, in addition to the excursionary practices, our guides are qualified to conduct high-altitude skiing on the declivities of Etna, canoeing & canyoning all over the regional territory of Sicily and speleological explorations that offer the chance to learn about fascinating volcanic and geophysical phenomena. However, above all else, it is the genuine passion for their job and the love that, as Sicilians, our guiding excursionists have for Sicily and its natural beauty that make them able to instil their enthusiasm into those who participate to our activities by sharing with them even little-known facts, peculiarities and cultural aspects often too easily ignored or even forgotten by some guides who are merely interested in carrying out the duties of the day.
That is why our guides are able to turn simple explorative activities into truly enjoyable experiences that are guaranteed to gratify the expectations of a wide-ranging category of holidaymakers. Finally, due to the legislations regulating tourism and its inherent health & safety laws in Italy access to a number of holiday sites is denied to groups or individuals accompanied by un-licensed guides.
