HI, I am Emilia. I'm a licensed tour guide in Sicily. I began building up my experience in this field 8 years ago. It all started when I realized that I really love the place where I live, and showing it to visitors gives me a lot of joy and a sense of accomplishment. That's why it became my full time job. I have always been interested in history , ancient civilizations and all aspects of past cultures. One of my favorite subjects at school was Latin. Then I graduated in Italian philology and literature because it forms a part of my interest as well, since our language and culture have origins in the Greek and Roman worlds. In Sicily we cannot avoid talking about Greek and Roman footprints. You can still feel the presence of ancient rulers here… What makes Sicily unique is the wide variety of places to see and things to do. You can have an unforgettable experience visiting a baroque church or …pastry shop! Local food is another reason why I feel so much attached to my land ;) University degree in Italian philology I am not a professional driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Visiting the Archeological Park of Siracusa will be like going back in time. You will feel the atmosphere of ancient times thanks to important Greek and Roman monuments and stories of some interesting characters linked with this place. You will have a chance to sit on the steps of the Greek theatre and to enter the Ear of Dionysius, an impressive large cave made by ancient Greeks. Our second step will be Ortigia island, a magic place rich in history, art and traditions. Then we will move to Noto, a charming town rich in history and art. You will discover this for yourself as soon as you start your stroll along the main street . You will feel as though you are in an open-air museum, being surrounded by churches and palaces of significant beauty. Apart from religious buildings like the cathedral we must not miss seeing the breathtaking Baroque balconies of Nicolaci Palace. Many other interesting monuments like Fontana d'Ercole and Tina di Lorenzo Theatre will make your visit unforgettable.

In Syracuse it is a walking tour but you will need a car/ taxi to move from the Archeological Park Neapolis to Ortigia (historical centre); it is about 10 minutes drive. The transportation in Siracusa and from Siracusa to Noto is not included; in Noto it is a walking tour only; If needed, I can arrange the transportation during the tour.
