Traveling is my passion, as it is talking to people to share stories and emotions. After spending 10 years working and traveling across Europe I eventually decided to come back to Sicily. Why? Goethe once wrote "Without Sicily, Italy creates no image in the soul: here is the key to everything". Sicily is a land of emotions: wonderful art, ancient history, delicious food and breathtaking views. As different travelers have different interests, I love to tailor-make the tours according to what travelers are willing to experience, so that to turn each tour into a truly, unforgettable experience. Any tour with me is hence more than just a tour, so please do not hesitate to contact me should you either want to make any changes to a tour I offer or to inquiry about a tour that you have in mind and want me to help organize it for you. I would love to make your dreams come true! I provide tours in French and Russian with my wife, as she is Russian and teaches French.

The best 3-day tour to fully experience Palermo!
Overview of your Palermo tour
With this 3-day private guided tour you will fully experience Palermo, a city that is impossible not to fall in love with! I have been running this tour for 10 years and, being an economist, you will get some fundamental insights to understand the evolution of the city, its culture and its people. On the first day we visit two Arab-Norman Cathedrals of Cefalu, Palermo and and Monreale, UNESCO Heritage sites. I am passionate about the Normans so you will get to know how two Norman mercenary brothers created one of the most important and richest kingdoms in Europe! The second day is about open-air marketplaces and street food, that you will enjoy with me like a real Palermo citizen! On the third day Teatro Massimo, the largest opera house in the world when it was inaugurated in 1897! Then the Chinese Palace, an extraordinary palace built by the king in 1806 with a unique style. After lunch at the lovely Mondello beach we pay homage to Saint Rosalia at her shrine built in a cave.

We had a lovely half-day tour today with Giorgio. He was punctual and knowledgeable and showed us the way around this adorable little town with ease. We also grabbed a snack for breakfast and had delicious Cannoli!
