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

This tour offers my historical-artistic and cultural traditions knowledge. I am an architect who has combined love for art and love for my land. We begin in front of the Teatro Massimo, Palermo's Opera House. We then walk through the Capo and Ballarò, two of Palermo's historic markets, to discover most of the ingredients that are used in Sicilian cuisine. Along the way, we visit sumptuous Baroque churches, built in the wake of the Counter-Reformation, to attract believers through emotions and theatricality. You'll see how their exuberant decorations are also reflected in the colourful and sensual historic food market. Of course, sampling Palermo's best street food will also be a priority! Our exploration of Palermo's markets involves gastronomic stops to sample some of Palermo's best street food and local wine. Art food and wine in Palermo are connected by culture, atmosphere, and history.
