Hello! I'm Salvina, I've been a qualified guide for Sicily since 1999, I'm very passionate about my job and this allows me to exercise the best part of myself, I chose this profession many years ago thanks to my passion for history and arts I have grown over the years with continuous insights following courses with experts in the field. I'm usually work with American and British people, I am a communicative person, and I greatly reflect the character of my own island, solarity, eclecticism and warmth. I love reading and observing nature, swimming is my hobby, and I love to be with my children. I love my island and this is the reasons why I offer thanks to my tours the possibility to appreciate all the aspects. In particular, the province of Messina with its breathtaking views and its incredible and sometimes tragic history will fascinate you, but not least through my experience it will be possible to organize with great flexibility what most suits the tourist who chooses these tours, so not only you can access the standard tour that is specified, but it will be possible to organize an extension to enjoy the wonders of our local food, a tour through the vineyards for tasting excellent wine, or recommend local shops. Certainly choosing one of the proposed tours will be pleasant because they represent the pearls of the east coast, you will have the opportunity to use my experience to spend a relaxing and unforgettable holiday in Sicily. If you are looking for a different tour than the ones published, please contact me and I will create a tailor-made one for you! So get ready, I'm waiting for you! I have been working as a qualified licensed guide of Sicily since 1999 I’m not a driver, my tours are included with transport and professional driver. If you have a car I can accompany you in your vehicle.

Salvina was the best! We learned, laughed, tasted, and soaked in the beauty of Taormina. Salvina was so accommodating to my elderly in-laws, while keeping the tour at an interesting pace for the entire group. We thoroughly enjoyed our day in beautiful Taormina and would highly recommend Salvina as the one to introduce the area to you!

What a wonderful day in Taormina. Salvina showed us the beautiful town with such amazing views. We were a family of 12 and three children. After our tour Salvina arranged for a boat ride to Isolabella where everyone was able to jump in the beautiful water. Kids loved it. So many wonderful memories were made. Thank you Salvina!

Top tour! We really enjoyed our tour of Taormina. Learning a bit about the history of the town was way more meaningful than just walking through in our own. Salvina was accommodating to our children and my elderly mom. The boat ride was truly wonderful. We had an amazing day !
