About Tour Guide Mirco M.

Hiking Guide and Tour Guide!

If you want to discover Etna, some natural beauties in East Sicily, or cities like Catania, Syracuse or Taormina, you can count on me.

Six years ago I gave life to a project, with the idea of shooting documentaries about each area of Sicily I visit, to document it through short videos and tell it to the viewers. Thanks to this idea, asking hospitality to the municipalities and, in return, I make a video, I have been discovering hundreds of hidden natural, urban and archeological gems.

What's the aim of my ''Gowithguide' profile? Show the travellers how much-hidden beauties we have in Sicily.

I want you to experience Sicily deeply as Sicilians do: this is my aim.

For this reason, thanks to my work of documentaries around Sicily (subtitled in English and many other languages) I am also known as “the popularizer of Sicilianity”!

See you soon in Sicily!
