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.

Dear Kevin We all try to do our best to make every time the tour as much interesting and comfortable possible. You are right: to get to 1700 feet high might be a challenge... thank God our drivers are very expert and smooth... Thank you for sharing here your impressions. Chiara
We had an amazing day with our tour guide and driver. They kept us out of the crowds, especially leaving earlier in the morning. We had a 10 month old baby with us and they accommodated him as well. We all had the best day ever! Beautiful, beautiful country!

Thank you Robert, it was a real pleasure to show you Taormina in a very friendly and relaxed way
Chiarra, our TBY guide, provided our group of two couples in their 70s with a wonderful day in Taormina. She was personable, funny, very knowledgeable about the history, archeology and fabric of the town. She took us to restaurants on the side streets for a delicious lunch of arancini and pizza, and a rest stop to enjoy gelato and expresso. The town is picturesque and...
