I hold a degree in architecture from the University of Palermo. After my graduation, I moved to the United States where I attended a course in Interior Design at the New York School of Visual Arts. After many years in Boston and New York where I worked for several architectural firms, I have returned to Sicily, my native land, and now lead cultural tours in Palermo and beyond. My walks are infused with my interests in architecture and the history of arts. I am a licensed guide leading private tours for small groups willing to really understand the places they visit. I am very passionate about my island, I share my knowledge with travellers by arranging cultural tours with an emphasis on history, art, archaeology, architecture, gastronomy, nature, or a blend of the above. I have helped hundreds of travellers discover and understand the masterpieces left by nature and the different civilizations that have made Sicily their home during the last three millennia. My aim isn't to merely 'inform' travellers about social and historical facts, my tours are interactive and stimulating physically and mentally. I plan them with great care and adjust them continuously. These are few itinerary ideas. Every tour with me is fully customized, personalized to your interests. Contact me to begin planning your day tour or shore excursions. Degree in architecture. Professional License/Certificate. Tour Guide Experience: 20 year(s) I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Palermo tour

Monreale, located 9 miles outside Palermo on a hill, has one of the best cathedrals in all of Italy and a panoramic view of the bay, and of the Conca D'Oro. The Monreale Duomo, launched in 1174 by the Norman King William II, is the last and most stunning of the Norman churches of Sicily and is viewed as one of the architectural wonders of the Middle Ages and has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Together we will also discover the old part of Monreale, the 13th-century alleys and the small shops where local artisans will reveal the secrets of mosaics. We will conclude the walk tasting local specialties.
