Client Testimonials

We loved Mariangela. She has a wonderful spirit and sense of humor and was a fantastic guide. He enthusiasm about her work was obvious and we hope to see her again on another hiking trip in Italy or beyond.

Corsica and Sardinia

Mariangela was delightful to travel with. Her skills were evident every day on the trails as she clearly understood each person's strengths and weaknesses and quietly and respectfully watched over us.

Christine D.

Chicago, IL

Mariangela was the heart and soul of the trip. Her athletic ability and love of being a guide inspired all of us to hike more, do more, and soak in more of the Sicily experience. She is a natural leader who inspires confidence and generates smiles in the midst of the toughest hike.

She was very thoughtful generous in sharing her family, allowing the group to learn about their lives, their work, their community and sharing a meal in their home. That was an unexpected and most appreciated experience.

Mariangela did an outstanding job on this trip. She was a pleasure to have, and interacted with all participants in a friendly, supportive way that made each person feel important and cared about. She greatly added to the enjoyment of the trip.

Mariangela added even more octane to the crew. Her intimate knowledge and love of her native island filled us in beautifully on the culture and history of the place that we were enjoying.
