We had the best time with Valentina. She knows the city well and knows where all the best food is. And she offered these thirsty Americans water at every stop without us asking. Much appreciated!

Hi! I'm a tour guide, tour manager and sommelier in Messina. I love my land and my work, every day with joy I show it to the many tourists who arrive. My tours are focussed on history, art, architecture, art, food, wines, traditions and culture. In addition, I love to show less frequented places by mass tours just to savour the genuineness of the place. ABOUT ME: My soul is divided in half: Roman mother and Sicilian dad. This allowed me to grow up with a broader view of things and life. I studied at the University of Rome 'Tor Vergata' and graduated in Cultural Heritage for tourism operators. In recent years my passion for the world of wine has increased: in 2021 I obtained my three-year diploma as a sommelier, in 2022 Wset 1 and in 2023 Wset 2. I love travelling, over the years for study and pleasure I have been to Belgium, Spain, USA, in addition to discovering the treasures of beautiful Italy. In my free time I enjoy handmade creations, a passion transmitted by both my mothers. What I love to do the most is to make handmade bijoux using various materials. I believe that this background of mine is important for the planning and delivery of my work because it allows me to be flexible to every need or preference of the traveller. Degree in « Cultural Heritage for Tour Operators » Régional Licence Tourist Guide (������������) License International Tour Manager License wset 1-2 I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Valentina's knowledge of the area was amazing, and it truly showed during our tour. It was the perfect amount of walking, learning, and eating! My wife and I loved the tour and would book with Valentina again for sure!
