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!
