I'm an Architect, specialized in Restoration of Monuments and Valorization of Cultural Heritage, subject that I also teach, but I'm also a licensed tourist guide; I love to travel all around the world and I've visited many nations to follow my passion for photography and my curiosity in learning about different countries and their own various cultures. I've chosen to become a tourist guide and I've been doing this in the last years cause I want to share with other travellers from worldwide the great love I have for my island on all the different aspects that can offer to visitors: architecture, history, nature, food and wine, fine arts, archaeology, music, popular traditions, brightness of the sky, heady scents, deep blue sea and mucht more. . . but also less famous aspects like the ones concerning the Second World War on the tracks of the Allied landing in Sicily in 1943. I'll lead you to the discovery of symbolic places for our ancient and contemporary history that deserve to be rediscovered, lived and appreciated, and I can build personalized itineraries on your personal needs and curiosities. Come with me and i'll introduce you to this exciting kaleidoscopic world that is Sicily, my land! I speak fluently english and french.

Catania is famous for the vibrants food markets and for the incredible varieties of gastronomy; the warm sun, the rich sea and the fertile land creates a perfect mix for the best ingredients that you can imagine! I will lead you in this coloured and smelly world that I know since I was a little girl, when I used to go there with my mother to chose the best ingredients for family Sunday lunch. Just walking around the most beautiful places in Catania's city centre, we will have the possibility to taste delicious fresh food and I'll tell you about the old and secret recipes that each Sicilian mother left to their daughters as a precious family heritage. . .
Daniela was a terrific asset to my 15 day trip to Sicily..a very knowledgable guide in architecture, history, art, and local culture. Fine insight into how the multiple layers of historic cultures have effected, changed, and impacted Sicily and the result today. She knows where to eat too! We hit several unexpected bonus activities as a result of her curiosity and adventuresome spirit. Thanks and Highly Recommended!!
Great tour from Daniella today. She customized her normal tour since our ship was arriving in mid afternoon. We learned a lot about Catania today and she showed us many interesting thing we would have never seen on our own.
Daniela was a wonderful ambassador for Catania, and gave us an insightful history lesson alongside the food tour and tastings. Our group felt welcomed and valued, and that we'd been given tips and knowledge we would never have found for ourselves. Very highly recommended.
- Pick up at Cruise Ship Port, Hotel, Address or Intersection. - We will start our walking tour from the Cathedral square, a scenographic baroque square with a hidden fish market just around the corner. An immersion in the vibrant atmosphere of the typical open air market with an Arabian influence will touch all of your senses. - We will walk around the stands to see all the rich varieties of mediterranean fish, but also meat, vegetables, cheese, fruit, dry fruit, spices and much more. I will tell you about the most famous and delicious recipes. During the visit we will stop to taste typical products both sweet and sour. - Then we will continue the discovery of the town with a walk in Via Etnea, the most important street oh the historical centre. - Stops to taste an arancino, the most famous Sicilian street food, and a sweet moment with cannoli. This is a suggested itinerary, let me know what you would like to see and do and I will customize the tour accordingly!
