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

An entire day of excursion in the area of Madonie Mountains. Nice drive along the coast from Palermo to Cefalu. Visit the majestic Norman Cathedral and explore the medieval old village stretching along the ancient megalithic walls and overlooking the Thyrrenian sea. Why not taste fresh fish on the terrace of one of the many renowned local restaurants? In the afternoon leave the sea towards the Madonie Mountains to visit the gateway village of Castelbuono dominated by the medieval Castle. Taste local pastries based on "Manna" (ash sap). I have been guiding this tour for more than 10 years and it is one of the preferred by my fellow travellers!
