Dear Guest, my name is Valentina and I am a licensed Tour Guide based in Sicily. I have got a Master Degree in History of Art and I am currently a PhD researcher in Archaeology, with a project for the enhancement of the Sicilian Megalithic Heritage. I will be glad to help you set your visit to this beautiful island. I provide a Find Your Roots Tour, if you are originally from Sicily and you want to discover your family's history or meet relatives still living here. Very helpful also the itinerary consultation, to plan your trip with the best recommendations from a local expert! I highly suggest to adopt these good practices for a sustainable trip to Sicily. 1) Staying in an Hotel is the best way to support local hospitality 2) Use a local driver and trains where is possible, renting a car is not recommended. 3) Follow the restaurants opening hours (12. 30/2 pm- 7. 30/10 pm) and the local siesta (2 to 4pm). 4) Winter and fall are the less crowded moment to visit the island. 5) Sicily has got a countless number of archaeological areas and historical sights. Visit them hiring a local authorized guide! 6) Look a map of the island, Sicily is much bigger than you might think! -Licensed Local Guide for Sicily, Rome and Vatican City since 2009 -Phd researcher in Archaeology -Master in Heritage Studies -Bachelor of art in Art History -Teacher of Art History and Italian Language for foreigners -Studied Art History in Rome, Berlin, Rhodes, Amsterdam, Mexico City. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

A full-day genealogy tour in Calabria to trace your roots through archives, towns, and relatives.
Overview of your Reggio Calabria tour
This full-day experience is designed for travelers who wish to explore their family roots in Calabria and reconnect with their ancestral past. It is a deeply personal journey focused on genealogy, local history, and meaningful encounters. Before the tour, I will contact the municipal registry office of your family’s hometown to research available records. When possible, I will also try to locate living relatives who may still be connected to your family. Over the years, this work has led to deeply emotional and unforgettable experiences for my guests. Each tour is fully customized according to your family history and personal goals. I carefully analyze every request in advance and explain the type of research that can be done, as well as the realistic results that may be achieved in your specific case. For this reason, a preliminary check is always required before the booking can be confirmed. This is not just a tour, but a journey back in time—often one of the most meaningful experiences of a lifetime.
Your Reggio Calabria tour itinerary
I will pick you up at your hotel and accompany you to your ancestors’ village in Calabria. Together, we can walk through the streets where your grandparents were born and raised, or visit the church where they were married. Upon request, and only if the local municipality is able to provide this information, it may also be possible to visit the graves of your ancestors. Genealogical research must begin in Calabria and can only be carried out if you provide the following essential details: the full names of your parents or ancestors, their place of birth, and their date of birth. Without this information, the tour cannot be delivered. If the place of birth is outside Calabria, I am unable to proceed with the research or trace family members who emigrated from the region, unless close relatives remained locally and complete personal details are available. The cost of the tour may vary depending on the level of research and customization required. Please inquire for a personalized quote.
