Guide #34857

HI, I am Emilia. I'm a licensed tour guide in Sicily. I began building up my experience in this field 8 years ago. It all started when I realized that I really love the place where I live, and showing it to visitors gives me a lot of joy and a sense of accomplishment. That's why it became my full time job. I have always been interested in history , ancient civilizations and all aspects of past cultures. One of my favorite subjects at school was Latin. Then I graduated in Italian philology and literature because it forms a part of my interest as well, since our language and culture have origins in the Greek and Roman worlds. In Sicily we cannot avoid talking about Greek and Roman footprints. You can still feel the presence of ancient rulers here… What makes Sicily unique is the wide variety of places to see and things to do. You can have an unforgettable experience visiting a baroque church or …pastry shop! Local food is another reason why I feel so much attached to my land ;) University degree in Italian philology I am not a professional driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

    Communication between the guide and us I don’t think was adequate and I would not recommend this person going forward

    Dear Catherine, I'm really sorry and also surprised you didn't like the tour at all, especially because halfway through the tour you told me of your own free will that you had changed your travel plans just to do the tour with me and that it was worth it. I showed you Siracusa sites just like I did it to all other ToursbyLocals travellers that remained satisfied. Could...

    Great insight into an incredibly important history stretching over 10,000 years. The Neopolis and Ortigia are utterly different but entirely complementary. Emilia was struggling with a cold, so her effort was very much appreciated. She was also very responsive to our plans for the following day and a half. Hugely enjoyable.

    We had an absolutely wonderful tour of Siracusa and Ortigia with Emilia. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history and culture of the area. Her explanations were clear and fascinating, and she made the experience both enjoyable and memorable. We highly recommend Emilia to anyone visiting Siracusa and Ortigia. Thank you for an excellent tour! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
