Guide #47072

Hi all, I would like to give you some information about myself and my work experience. My name is Elisa and I am 35 years old. I am a freelance tourist guide with a professional license for the Region of Sicily. The experience I have gained from my formal studies at high school and then at university ( BA and Masters) and the strong interest I had and continue to have for humanities, helped me to develop an ability to communicate historical, architectonical and archeological knowledge with enthusiasm. Two years abroad (in Germany) and my extensive traveling experiences, have offered me opportunities to adapt to new environments and new cultures. I have learned how important it is to be flexible and make use of my own resources. My work experience over the past 15 years (during which I have planned and managed my time to achieve a good balance between my studies and my work experiences with groups of travelers coming from all over the world, enabled me to develop my leadership skills and increased my awareness of the dynamics of tourism. I definitely love my job and passion makes always the difference!

    We spent an afternoon with Elisa last week in Syracuse/Ortigia and it was incredible! She is a fantastic guide with a ton of knowledge on the history of the city and archaeological park, and had plenty of fun stories to go along with the sites as well. We loved the tour and really enjoyed just spending the day with her talking about the sites as well as casual...

    We enjoyed an outstanding tour of the archeological park and Ortigia Island. Elisa shared her outstanding knowledge of the history of both places and how that was shaped by the broader history of Sicily. She was kind and attentive and certainly brought the whole place to life!
