He took us to beautiful places: Zafferana Etnea was in a square with a wonderful view of the sea; old lava flow from 1991-93, a lava cave which was very interesting; Crateri Silvestri: it was the most amazing landscape I have ever seen; rest and eat at Rifugio Sapienza, Piano Vetore: short walk to the sunset point Rifugio Santa Barbara. The sunset was amazing. I think we chose the best tour: it was not tiring, yet every point was beautiful.”
