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.

Overview of your Catania tour

Born in Milan, I moved definitively to Sicily in 1989 and, since the very first moment, I felt in love with this incredible island, mix of contradictions and beauties. Syracuse is probably one of the towns which kept intact the atmosphere of the ancient past in its historical centre. Founded in the 8th century b. C. by the Greeks, Syracuse had to become one of the most powerful towns of the Mediterranean sea together with Athens. We will visit the archaeological park called Neapolis with the ancient Greek theatre, the Roman amphitheatre, the Altar of Ieron II and the limestone quarries. In the baroque centre of the quarter Ortigia the cathedral, the fountain Arethusa and the Apollo temple.

The tour was amazing. Chiara was equally amazing. Prior to the tour she was quick to respond to my questions. During the tour she was accommodating when at the last minute 5 of us decided to change where we wanted to go. thoroughly enjoyed the tour. As our tour guide, she was as good as they get. I would recommend her to anyone.
