Hello! My name is Clara and I'm a tour guide, officially licensed by the Regione Sicilia. After earning my University degree in Art History, and spending a few years in Rome and Barcelona working within the field of Contemporary Art, I returned to Palermo where I was born and raised. For the last two years I have worked as a Freelance Tour Guide and in the process discovered a magical mix: a use of my talents, knowledge of art history, architecture and Italian culture, a love for Sicily and Sicilian culture, and a desire to share amazing experiences with outsiders. I chose a career that gratifies me and strengthens my love for my homeland every day! Like many of my clients, I am also an insatiable traveler, so I find it easy to step into the shoes of someone visiting Sicily for the first time (or even the second or third!) I always offer my clients an opportunity to see Sicily through my eyes and live my passions with me. I love art, architecture, history and good food (and we have TONS of good food in Sicily!!). Sharing these passions every day in my work makes me so grateful and satisfied! When you contact me, you will also have the opportunity to customize your stay according to your interests. This will give you the opportunity to visit local attractions off the beaten path of guidebooks and tailored specifically to you. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you experience all that Palermo and Sicily have to offer!

I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Clara did a great job showing us around Palermo Centro. We found her to be very knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. The pace was perfect for us. Not too fast. Not too slow. We strongly recommend Clara to anyone visiting Palermo for the first time.

Clara did a fantastic job with our group, walking us through the Ballaro market and to see a few historical sites (including cannoli from Segreti del Chiostro). We have fast and slow walkers and Clara made it work for everyone. Thank you so much for your help and hospitality today, and making our Palermo trip wonderful!

My husband, son, and I had a wonderful tour with Clara. She is a very nice person and was very knowledgeable about the history of the sites were were visiting. She adjusted the pace to accommodate my husband, who is visually impaired. You can't go wrong booking a tour with her.
