I deeply love my country and I have always tried to instill this love in my fellow travelers. When I am guiding, my first aim is to go beyond stereotypes regarding Sicily and try to explain how rich is the Sicilian Culture thanks to the many people that have passed through the centuries and left signs of their own societies. You can find those traces in our monumental heritage but also in our language, in our habits and finally in our cuisine. I have been working in tourism in Sicily for the last 18 years, as a Tour Escort first, then as an operator and finally as a guide. In the meanwhile, I obtained a degree in Cultural tourism at the University of Palermo, deepening history, art history, archaeology and Sicilian folklore. I have a deep knowledge of both main and less visited Sicilian sites as well as I am always open to find new hidden gems to propose to my clients. When I am not touring Sicily with travellers, I am doing that with my friends! Thanks to my fully licensed minivan I can take guests everywhere in Sicily, visiting beautiful cities or admiring natural beauties, both for one-day excursions and for multi-day tours. I really enjoy ancestral tours, if your roots are in Sicily I will help you in finding them! We can visit together your home towns and even look for family records at local offices, churches, cemeteries etc. Just decide where to go and relax, I will do the rest! Fully licensed tourist guide for the whole Sicily Fully licensed tour escort Fully licensed driver Fully licensed and insured vehicle auhorized to enter all the main restricted areas Degree in Cultural Tourism My minivan can fit up to 7 people comfortably. Please inquire about larger groups.

Overview of your Palermo tour

One of my favourite activity since the beginning of my career about 20 years ago has been helping guests to look for their roots in the land of their ancestors. Nowadays I can consider myself a specialist and could almost apply for "honorary" citizenship in most of the inner Sicilian towns and villages. . . Quite often, even with just a few information, we can succeed in researches and find documents, also valid to apply for Italian citizenship! This will be an exciting full day excursion to the town of your ancestors. Scenic drives, panoramic photo stops, researches at public offices, churches, cemeteries and, why not adding cultural visits on the way or in the area? Just provide the name of your home town and I will customize the tour for you.

Your Palermo tour itinerary

• Morning departure from Palermo. • Drive along the most scenic route possible to the town of your ancestors. • Cultural visits to be selected among the highlights of the area or on the way. • Visit your home town and possibly researches at public offices. NOTE: The itinerary needs to be customized for each specific family and request. Towns in Eastern Sicily may be too far from Palermo for a one day trip, please ask me before you book!
