Hello everyone and welcome to Palermo! My name is Mauro, I was born and raised in Palermo, and I truly love sharing the beauty, history, atmosphere, and soul of my city with travelers from all over the world. I am passionate about art, theatre, architecture, history, and everyday local life. When I visit a place, I always look for what makes it unique and meaningful — not only monuments, but also people, colors, traditions, hidden details, and atmosphere. This is exactly the approach I bring to my tours. Palermo is a city of extraordinary contrasts and cultural influences. Here, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East meet in a unique way, creating an atmosphere you will not find anywhere else. My goal is always to create experiences that are interesting, engaging, enjoyable, and personal — never just a list of dates and monuments. I want you to truly experience Palermo, not simply visit it. I have been an official licensed Tour Guide in Sicily since 2014 and an official Trip Leader since 2010. I hold a degree in Foreign Languages and Literature from the University of Palermo and a Master’s degree from the University of Udine. I lead tours in English, German, Spanish, and Italian, working with travelers, luxury hotels, and international companies from all over the world.

Overview of your Palermo tour
What is amazing about Western Sicily is that just 1 hour driving from Palermo you feel in a different world. Western Sicily means open landscapes, amazing colors, vineyards and history. I love this a part of the island because when I am there I always feel free and relaxed. Our first stop will be the archaeological park in Segesta, one of the cities of the Elymians, the original inhabitants of this area. We will visit the doric temple from the 5. b. C. and the theater, surrounded by a colorful landscape: there you will take amazing photos: so, be ready to change your Facebook profile picture! Erice is a cozy town with a medieval shape on the top of the Mount San Giuliano (751m, 2100 ft). When I was a child my family brought me here to buy almond pastries! A walk trough its small street is a must. We will visit also the mother church and the area of the castle, from where we will have a breathtaking landscape. We will also have a lunch break in the town, before driving back to Palermo.
