Dear Guest, my name is Valentina and I am a licensed Tour Guide based in Sicily. I have got a Master Degree in History of Art and I am currently a PhD researcher in Archaeology, with a project for the enhancement of the Sicilian Megalithic Heritage. I will be glad to help you set your visit to this beautiful island. I provide a Find Your Roots Tour, if you are originally from Sicily and you want to discover your family's history or meet relatives still living here. Very helpful also the itinerary consultation, to plan your trip with the best recommendations from a local expert! I highly suggest to adopt these good practices for a sustainable trip to Sicily. 1) Staying in an Hotel is the best way to support local hospitality 2) Use a local driver and trains where is possible, renting a car is not recommended. 3) Follow the restaurants opening hours (12. 30/2 pm- 7. 30/10 pm) and the local siesta (2 to 4pm). 4) Winter and fall are the less crowded moment to visit the island. 5) Sicily has got a countless number of archaeological areas and historical sights. Visit them hiring a local authorized guide! 6) Look a map of the island, Sicily is much bigger than you might think! -Licensed Local Guide for Sicily, Rome and Vatican City since 2009 -Phd researcher in Archaeology -Master in Heritage Studies -Bachelor of art in Art History -Teacher of Art History and Italian Language for foreigners -Studied Art History in Rome, Berlin, Rhodes, Amsterdam, Mexico City. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.
