The Heart of Palermo - Half Day Tour

Ciao, I’m Anna, benvenuti in Sicilia! I am a licensed tour leader based in Palermo. I’ve been guiding private tours across Sicily since 2020, when I co-founded a social cooperative in Sciacca that brings together artisans, shepherds, and locals to offer truly experiential tourism. My passion lies in showing travelers the authentic soul of this region, its craft, culture, and coastline, through personalized, immersive experiences. My background in sustainable tourism is rooted in community, storytelling, and hospitality. I speak English, Italian, and French, and I specialize in private, customizable tours for curious travelers who want more than just landmarks, they want connection. Whether you’re wandering Palermo’s historic quarters, visiting the cathedral at Monreale, or spending the day in Sciacca learning about local traditions, I ensure every tour feels meaningful and relaxed. What makes my tours special? Everyone of you travels differently. Some of you want history, some want food, some want to wander and get wonderfully lost. My job is to listen to what you're looking for and design a day that feels made for you, not for a group, not for a bus tour. I'm knowledgeable and passionate, but I also believe holidays should be joyful. That means stopping for the best arancini in the right neighborhood, tasting fresh ricotta straight from a local producer, or sitting in a sun-drenched piazza with a glass of Nero d'Avola while Sicilian life unfolds around you. You're on holiday and enjoying yourself is the whole point! So I work, and enjoy myself, around that :) Don't hesitate to reach out with your dates, your interests, and your travel style. I'll design a private Sicilian experience that is truly yours. I'd love for you to leave Sicily the way I've always felt about it - deeply, unexpectedly in love with this island. A presto, see you soon in Sicily! Anna
