I have been working as a tourist guide since 1987 and love to share my knowledge, not only of history and architecture, but also of the flora, fauna, traditions and mythology that make Sicily a special and truly unique area of Italy. Such unique features are what make this region absolutely worth visiting. It is natural that, loving this area, I simply love to help people to get to know it, in all its aspects, positives, such as landscapes, culture, gastronomy, but also in the negative parts of its reality, like the economy and the mafia. My knowledge of a few foreign languages allows me to accompany travelers from all over the world on their Sicilian adventures. This, combined with my goal of satisfying all kinds of interests and curiosities of the culturally diverse of the groups I guide, allows me to be versatile and to personalize my tours to your wishes. The enthusiasm I put into my job leaves behind the old and very formal way of guiding groups, giving space to a relaxed enjoyable atmosphere for all, always based on the highest level of professionalism, balancing both information and a good time. I remain also at your full disposal to suggest alternative excursions and different itineraries, that could imply visiting an ancient fortress, as well as less known, but not less worthwhile archaeological sites. I believe also in the importance of supporting "my travelers" in picking stores, souvenirs, restaurants or pubs that will complete the nice memories of their Sicilian holiday. Join me on your own Sicilian adventure! I have been working as a tourist guide since 1987 I am a licensed escort for Italy and a licensed guide in the provinces of Messina and Agrigento in Sicily and now for the whole island. 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 Taormina tour

Let's discover the second largest town in Sicily! I have been living in the island for over 30 years and Catania is my favourite big city, because of its glamour and the air of hectic activity of its citizens. Founded by the Greeks in the 8th century BC on foot of the highest volcano in Europe, Catania is known as the Milan of the South thanks to its bustling economic activity. Rebuilt after the terrible earthquake of 1693 in baroque style, Catania is also called the black town because of the common use of lava stone as a building material. Come and explore the city with me!

Your Taormina tour itinerary

• From the harbour of Catania, we will make a driving tour of the town through the beautiful Via Etnea, the main ancient street. • We will stop along the way at the Roman amphitheatre, the medieval Castle Ursino and on the University square. • Then we will start our walking tour visiting the most popular baroque palaces and churches, having a look at the principal monasteries road, Via Crociferi and of course the Cathedral and its beautiful square with the famous Elephant Fountain. • We can't miss the fish market! It takes place every morning but not on Sunday. • Finally, free time for shopping and to enjoy a nice "granita" or cannolo di ricotta. . !
