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.

As I have been living in this part of Sicily since over 30 years, I will be able to let you discover all the hidden corners, out of the common paths. . . These villages where not only chosen for their picturesque beauty to turn several films, but also got a long and ancient history that made them so special. Visiting the settings of the movies, you will see that almost nothing has changed in these little towns since almost one century and you will learn about the uses and customs of this beautiful island.
• From the harbour of Catania we will drive first on the highway and then along the coast passing the Cape Sant'Alessio. • Then from Santa Teresa di Riva we will drive up hill to get to Savoca. • We will stop to see the settings of a couple of scenes of the film Godfather by Francis Ford Coppola. • You can enjoy a nice granita in the same bar where Robert De Niro and Al Pacino did! • If you are interested in, we can also visit the mummies in the monastery of the Capuchins and the museum of popular arts and crafts. • Afterwards we will drive a terrific way up to Forza d'Agrò, with stunning views over the Ionian sea and the coast of mainland in the distance.
