Welcome to Palermo! Hello! I am Cetti, I have been Palermo tourist guide for more than twenty years and I will be happy to take you to discover my city. Palermo is incredible, beautiful, fascinating and so rich in colours, smells and artworks that you cannot remain indifferent to its charming contrasts. I will get you know the most beautiful and interesting places and monuments and I will bring them close to you in a simple way by synthesizing, interpreting and conveying the multiple signs of the past and the present, sometimes legible, sometimes hidden, but often in dialogue between them. I can easily adapt to your needs. My job is my passion and it embraces my love for languages. I lead groups in Italian, but also in English, French, German and Portuguese. Do not miss the chance to be charmed and enchanted first by Palermo and not least by me ABOUT ME Licensed local guide of Palermo since the year 2000 but I have been working in tourism since 1990. I studied languages in Bologna, and soon after I came back to Palermo and I realized that my city could give me the chance to stay and work. I'm registered in the Regional Register of Tourist Guides of Sicily with licence number 609. Licensed Tour Guide (Tourism Department of the Sicily Region) I am not a driver.

Overview of your Palermo tour
I'm inviting you to join me to discover the multi-ethnic features that have made these Norman monuments World Heritage Site and we can even feel today in daily life. Byzantines, Arabs, Jews, Normans worked together creating a synthesis, that is also reflected in the Sicilian way of living. Palermo is striking for the amount of churches and palaces concentrated in the ancient city that is one of the largest in Europe. The Normans chose Palermo as the capital of the Norman Kingdom of Sicily and to legitimize his power the king ordered so many churches, that one day is not enough to see them all. I would like you to grasp the essence of Sicily through these unique monuments like the Palatine Chapel, inside the Norman Palace, Palermo Cathedral, Martorana Church and St. Cataldo church. We will reach the beating heart of the old city with the " Quattro Canti", Piazza Pretoria, Piazza Bellini and the Arab markets. Benvenuto a Palermo!
