Ciao! My name is Pietro. I love my job because I can share my cultural identity by communicating and enjoying together flavors and landscapes of my country. As an expert of natural and cultural heritage, I worked for UNESCO on management plans Sicilian sites of the World Heritage List. With me you can get the authentic senses of the places you want to visit in Sicily. I will reveal every aspect with passion and joy, telling the history, showing amazing details and the local style of life. Through my "patriotic and nice" eyes you will discover one of the most beautiful region of the world. Sicily is a unique historical crossroad, very rich in ancient treasures, rare expression of art and local traditions. My wonderful island of the sun also offers delicacies of one of the richest cooking tradition of the world, high quality wines and the opportunity to enjoy "la bella vita" as Sicilians can do! Palermo is a lively city, full of pedestrian areas and colored markets. Recently declared a part of World heritage list, it has always been an harbour characterized by a multi-ethnic society, giving birth to the unique Arab Norman Byzantine style. I will customize my tours according to your preferences and desires. In case we need the car to reach sites, I get professional drive license (KB), registration (CAP), assurance and NCC license. Come to visit Sicily, you will be delighted by local flavors, landscapes and art, and, of course, by my friendly and smart welcome! - Guide and tour leader license for Sicily since 1998 - Professional driving license and registration (CAP) - Official interpreter and translator - Job and car insurance - NCC car license - Phd and Post Phd in Sociology - Specialized in cultural and environmental interpretation - Specialized in active tourism and education none

Pietro was as good a guide as we could have hoped for. A real gentleman, very accommodating and he made sure we were comfortable and happy with what we were doing. He had excellent knowledge about the areas he took us to and we really found him a terrific guide. Highly recommend!

Pietro was amazing. It is like meeting an old friend, so warm and wonderful. Pietro made a custom experience for us. I wanted to see where my ancestors came from and Pietro made sure every detail was checked. He went out of his way to get documentation, and he reached out to locals while we were there to give us a full experience. He was very knowledgeable about the area and I am so glad we booked with him. You won't be disappointed if you choose an experience with him.
