I deeply love my country and I have always tried to instill this love in my fellow travelers. When I am guiding, my first aim is to go beyond stereotypes regarding Sicily and try to explain how rich is the Sicilian Culture thanks to the many people that have passed through the centuries and left signs of their own societies. You can find those traces in our monumental heritage but also in our language, in our habits and finally in our cuisine. I have been working in tourism in Sicily for the last 18 years, as a Tour Escort first, then as an operator and finally as a guide. In the meanwhile, I obtained a degree in Cultural tourism at the University of Palermo, deepening history, art history, archaeology and Sicilian folklore. I have a deep knowledge of both main and less visited Sicilian sites as well as I am always open to find new hidden gems to propose to my clients. When I am not touring Sicily with travellers, I am doing that with my friends! Thanks to my fully licensed minivan I can take guests everywhere in Sicily, visiting beautiful cities or admiring natural beauties, both for one-day excursions and for multi-day tours. I really enjoy ancestral tours, if your roots are in Sicily I will help you in finding them! We can visit together your home towns and even look for family records at local offices, churches, cemeteries etc. Just decide where to go and relax, I will do the rest! Fully licensed tourist guide for the whole Sicily Fully licensed tour escort Fully licensed driver Fully licensed and insured vehicle auhorized to enter all the main restricted areas Degree in Cultural Tourism My minivan can fit up to 7 people comfortably. Please inquire about larger groups.

Overview of your Palermo tour

This tour offers the unique chance to enjoy one of the widest archaeological areas in the whole Mediterranean area. I will share with you all of my expertise in history, architecture and many funny anecdotes! Agrigento has definitely the best preserved examples of Doric architecture in the Magna Graecia. We will visit the site of the Valley of Temples as a journey through ages and people: Greeks, Romans, early Christians. End of the day at the breathtaking Scala dei Turchi cliff overlooking the open Mediterranean Sea

Giorgio was an excellent guide. He drove us through the most beautiful countryside from Palermo to Agrigento and told us about the history and agriculture and the politics of Sicily before we had even reached the Valley of the Temples. Once there he gave us a fascinating tour and then recommended a superb restaurant for lunch. Thanks to him we had a wonderful and memorable day out. His English was superb. We would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Giorgio Calo was the best! He is a wealth of information! Extra special is the added "cultural" insights on Sicily that he shares. The day is long, but with Giorgio guiding you its well worth it. Don't hesitate to book him for any tour he offers!
