Ciao a tutti! My name is Iolanda and I am a licensed tour guide based in Palermo, Sicily. I speak English and French and I have over 25 years of experience working as a tour guide. For long time, I had the pleasure of accompanying travellers throughout Sicily, mainly to the famous archaeological sites. Now, I live and work in Palermo but I am able to move freely to various areas on the island on request. If you wish to visit Palermo or other places in Sicily, please do not hesitate to contact me. Together we can discover some of the city's most extraordinary sights and also my city life. Let yourself be captivated by the charm of Palermo historical quarters, the beauty and elegance of its antique buildings, the mix between Arabic and Norman styles. Come with me and taste the delights and sounds of Palermo's historical markets like the famous Ballarò, Vucciria and il Capo, where you can still hear the echoes of its oriental past. Palermo is heaven for gourmet lovers, who can sample the local specialities such as our famous ''street food''. In fact, Palermo is truly a city of ''street food''; it's a place where the flavours of the Mediterranean mix and embrace with the colours and aromas of the orient. My tours are tailored for individual clients as well as families and groups. You can consider me as your competent and welcoming friend who will provide you with the opportunity to become acquainted with wonderful, mysterious and fascinating Palermo. A city of a thousand faces that remains torn between eastern and western worlds. Sicily awaits you! Licensed tour guide for Palermo and Sicily I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

One of the most suggestive districts of Palermo is "La Kalsa" where we find The "Palazzo Steri" which was once the seat of the Spanish Inquisition. Inside it is possible to visit the ancient prison where prisoners accused of heresy left behind inscriptions on the walls in the form of prayers and political statements. Furthermore there is an interesting section of the prison where the women accused of being witches were kept. The visit continues with a tour of La Kalsa, which contains some beautiful architectural jewels. Here we can visit the church of Santa Maria dello Spasimo which was hidden from the public for many years. The last visit will be dedicated to the magnificent Palazzo Mirto, once belonged to Filangeri di Mirto princes. **Unavailable on Mondays
This is one of the most interesting proposal of itinerary that I can suggest to my customers. La Kalsa is a district full of story and tradition: it's definitely an itinerary not to be missed when you visit Palermo. **This tour is not available on Mondays**
