Welcome to Palermo! Hello! I am Cetti, I have been Palermo tourist guide for more than twenty years and I will be happy to take you to discover my city. Palermo is incredible, beautiful, fascinating and so rich in colours, smells and artworks that you cannot remain indifferent to its charming contrasts. I will get you know the most beautiful and interesting places and monuments and I will bring them close to you in a simple way by synthesizing, interpreting and conveying the multiple signs of the past and the present, sometimes legible, sometimes hidden, but often in dialogue between them. I can easily adapt to your needs. My job is my passion and it embraces my love for languages. I lead groups in Italian, but also in English, French, German and Portuguese. Do not miss the chance to be charmed and enchanted first by Palermo and not least by me ABOUT ME Licensed local guide of Palermo since the year 2000 but I have been working in tourism since 1990. I studied languages in Bologna, and soon after I came back to Palermo and I realized that my city could give me the chance to stay and work. I'm registered in the Regional Register of Tourist Guides of Sicily with licence number 609. Licensed Tour Guide (Tourism Department of the Sicily Region) I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Palermo tour
I'd like to tell you how important it is for us Sicilians to keep alive the memory of our relatives who have passed away. Especially in the past, wealthy people used to pay making themselves visible for the generations to come. A clear example is the Catacombs of Palermo where not long ago 8000 mummies of people continued to give advice to their relatives and joined private family meals in there. The famous baby Rosalia Lombardo, embalmed and perfectly preserved, still receives gifts from her family. On our tour we will meet another Rosalia, our patroness that in 1624 saved Palermo from the plague. We will drive up to Monte Pellegrino and visit her shrine built on the cave where she died. The winding road leading to the church offers a breathtaking view of Palermo and its Conca D'oro, from the hill we go down to Mondello sea resort, beautiful maritime borough and sandy beach on the Tyrrenian sea, the district of the Liberty stile villas. There we can enjoy a beautiful sea breeze while eating a good gelato!
