Hey, there! I may be your expert islander! I was born and raised in Sicily, and I have been a licensed tour guide from 2018. My family background deeply connects me to the territories of Taormina, Syracuse, and Catania—areas I know not just as a guide, but as places of the soul. My academic path has been an eclectic journey through Communication, Philosophy, Human Resources, and Cognitive Sciences, with a Master's degree obtained in Barcelona, Spain. Fencing, theater, philosophy, and yoga have been the colorful threads that shaped my life's journey. My tours are like me, dynamic and interactive experiences, covering many aspects of historical, social and modern daily Sicilian life. With me, you won’t just be a customer; you will be treated like a new friend of mine who is going to move to Sicily! My mission is helping you to answer all your questions, and at the same time show you the real, the most authentic and profound, aspects of the places we will visit! Sicily is a sort of open-air history and art book, it is a puzzle with a missing piece, it is magnificent and tragic! Ruins and nature create a timeless dance, Sicily has more than one definition. On top of that, I strongly believe that beauty is not only in the big or small things, beauty is mostly in the eyes and in the ears of the travelers, and I will travel with your eyes in my homeland. Being a tour guide, to me, means inhabiting the space of beauty and trying to create moments of refreshment for the soul in an overly busy world, I hope we can make it happen!

Overview of your Syracuse tour

What truly sets this this tour apart is the slow rhythm. Ragusa Ibla and Modica share the UNESCO World Heritage recognition for their unique blend of art and history. When I was a child both were almost completely unknown to tourism. I can remember many empty houses and the youngest leaving. This disadvantage makes them today two of the most special, well-preserved towns. We will drive to Modica, the ancient capital of the area. It was built along the slope of the Mountain. We will walk around the old city, with its steep and scenographic stairs. Please bear in mind that there are a lot of steps. You will taste local Chocolate, made using the Atzec recipe. Next, we’ll head to Ragusa Ibla. We will wandering through the charming streets enjoying the most simple things. Baroque churches seem a movie set and we will visit one of the last workshop where Sicilian cart are repaired or build. After discovering these two authentic Sicilian corners we will drive back to Syracuse. I can customize this tour.
