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

A full day excursion to the pearls of western Sicily. Visit the Elymian archaeological site of Segesta with its Doric temple and the Ancient Theater. Move to the hilltop medieval village of Erice, boasting the greatest view over the whole western Sicily. Admire the majestic Castle of Venus and lose yourself in the maze of narrow cobbled streets. End the day at the fascinating Saltpans of Nubia to enjoy sunset among the windmills and the piles of white sea salt. I have been guiding this tour for more than ten years and it is one of the most loved by my fellow travellers!

We travelled with a group of four and booked Giorgio for two back to back days. The first day we went east of Palermo to Cefalù and the second west to the archeological sites. This tour is physically more demanding as there are many hikes up uneven terrain. That said, the sites seen were amazing in both their physical condition and historical significance. Georgio did a wonderful job of explaining the significance of the sites and in providing great insight into the island’s history as a Mediterranean cross road! A trip well worth doing with an incredibly knowledgeable guide.

Giorgio was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. He knew everything about the history and architecture of our trip. We would definitely recommend him.

Our licensed guide and driver, Giorgio Calò was an excellent driver and guide. We had such a marvelous day with Giorgio, during which he provided us with a wealth of information on the fascinating history of the area. Giorgio’s English is excellent and he is a warm and personable guide. Giorgio is also an excellent, considerate and safe driver, something we have not always found in our travels.

Giorgio was knowledgeable, friendly and informative, providing us historical and cultural insights into issues as diverse as ancient Greek architecture and mores of medieval Erice. All of us learned a great deal about the Elymian-Greek civilization in Sgesta, and as well as medieval history, culture and religious issues. We very much enjoyed the tour and gained a great deal of information and understanding from Giorgio.
