Guide #56573
I'm an Archaeologist and official Tour Guide in Sicily. I'm an enthusiastic and passionate person, and what I like the most is getting in touch with people of different nationalities and delivering my knowledge and passion about the complex culture of Sicily: Art, Architecture, Archaeology, Folklore, Traditions! I was born in a little town along the north-east coast of the island, in the territory of Messina, and every day when I wake up, I can enjoy the wonderful view of the Aeolian Islands in front of it! I have graduated in Classical Archaeology and I have been around Italy for many years digging with my team in order to discover Roman and Greek ruins. My curiosity and my natural attitude of doing new experiences brought me to London for four years, until in 2018 I finally decided to go back to my origins, my first love : Sicily! I got the official Tour Guide license and ever since I've been working as a professional guide, trying to turn my passion into a job! It will be my pleasure to lead you around Messina and its region: my goal will be to let you live as a local, show you the wonders and the unusual spots of this corner of paradise, let you meet our people and discover our traditions! I can't wait to tell you about our long and fascinating journey through centuries! What are you waiting for? Contact me and I will let you experience Sicily not just as a guide but as a friend who wants to show you her favourites places!

We had a wonderful tour with Manuela! She made sure to have us try local food and shops. We saw all the sites listed on our tour and she educated us on the history and culture of the area. We did not have time to do a sailing tour with her, but that sounds amazing. I highly recommend Manuela!
I did four 1-day tours around Sicily with Manuela and had a fantastic time! Manuela chose very good sites for me based on my interests in history, archeology, arts, and culture. Manuela possesses very extensive knowledge, which is also conveyed effectively. Her lengthy explanations, filled with many fascinating details, allowed me to have a deep understanding and...
Manuela was a very good guide. Her English is perfect. She organized a very wonderful excursion. This was a sailing adventure and the boat was in excellent repair. The crew were expert in operating the sailboat. We had fun with steering the boat, and we had plenty of time for swimming. We also had a few great local treats to eat. I highly recommend Manuela!
