Guide #4805
I have been working as a tourist guide since 1987 and love to share my knowledge, not only of history and architecture, but also of the flora, fauna, traditions and mythology that make Sicily a special and truly unique area of Italy. Such unique features are what make this region absolutely worth visiting. It is natural that, loving this area, I simply love to help people to get to know it, in all its aspects, positives, such as landscapes, culture, gastronomy, but also in the negative parts of its reality, like the economy and the mafia. My knowledge of a few foreign languages allows me to accompany travelers from all over the world on their Sicilian adventures. This, combined with my goal of satisfying all kinds of interests and curiosities of the culturally diverse of the groups I guide, allows me to be versatile and to personalize my tours to your wishes. The enthusiasm I put into my job leaves behind the old and very formal way of guiding groups, giving space to a relaxed enjoyable atmosphere for all, always based on the highest level of professionalism, balancing both information and a good time. I remain also at your full disposal to suggest alternative excursions and different itineraries, that could imply visiting an ancient fortress, as well as less known, but not less worthwhile archaeological sites. I believe also in the importance of supporting "my travelers" in picking stores, souvenirs, restaurants or pubs that will complete the nice memories of their Sicilian holiday. Join me on your own Sicilian adventure! I have been working as a tourist guide since 1987 I am a licensed escort for Italy and a licensed guide in the provinces of Messina and Agrigento in Sicily and now for the whole island. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Highly recommend Chiara! We had such an amazing day with her and her driver. She is so knowledgeable, personable and funny! She made sure we were comfortable during a VERY hot day and even gave us great recommendations for dinner for other parts our trip. Our tour to Syracuse and Ortigia was a big highlight of our trip!

Chiara is terrific. She adapted the tour to deal with the very hot weather and some mobility issues on our part. She’s smart, knowledgeable, funny, and a joy to spend time with.

August 2026Dear Eric, You are right: it is a challenge to go around in these very hot and humid days to take a visit... But we are brave and together we could make the best of our tour. It was a pleasure to show you the highlights of Taormina and I am glad it was not that tiring in spite of everything... Thank you for sharing here your experience
