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.

Tour of Sicily including all the highlights of the island: Palermo, Monreale, Cefalu, Valley of Temples, Piazza Armerina, Syracuse, Etna. Don't miss the chance to enjoy enchanting landscapes accompanied by a local connoisseur who will share his love and passion for the sunny island. This itinerary is perfectly balanced and provides the chance to see 6 UNESCO sites but you can decide to add/cut days as well as modify it according to your needs/wishes. I am setting arrival in Palermo and departure from Catania but this can be switched. Please contact me for more detailed program and actual availability to customize this tour
Giorgio is a wealth of historical knowledge. We learned so much about Sicily's place in Mediterranean history dating back to the Carthaginians. After 5 days touring the island, I am happy to call Giorgio a friend. Prompt, courteous and professional. Wonderful guide!
Giorgio was absolutely the bestest of the best! We would have given him 10 starts if that was an option. We hired him as a driver and guide for a 10 day trip in Sicily. We visited Palermo, Cefalú, Taormina, Arigento, Ragusa, Modica, Syracuse and Catania and never had a dull moment. We feel like we graduated from a course in archaeology and art history while having the most fantastic vacation! Giorgio will make sure you have the best trip possible. No need to look elsewhere for a guide!
Giorgio provided excellent information about sites visited and the country as we drove thru the country to the historical sites. He is a good driver, you feel safe in his car. He is very conversational. An excellent guide.
