Hello! I'm Salvina, I've been a qualified guide for Sicily since 1999, I'm very passionate about my job and this allows me to exercise the best part of myself, I chose this profession many years ago thanks to my passion for history and arts I have grown over the years with continuous insights following courses with experts in the field. I'm usually work with American and British people, I am a communicative person, and I greatly reflect the character of my own island, solarity, eclecticism and warmth. I love reading and observing nature, swimming is my hobby, and I love to be with my children. I love my island and this is the reasons why I offer thanks to my tours the possibility to appreciate all the aspects. In particular, the province of Messina with its breathtaking views and its incredible and sometimes tragic history will fascinate you, but not least through my experience it will be possible to organize with great flexibility what most suits the tourist who chooses these tours, so not only you can access the standard tour that is specified, but it will be possible to organize an extension to enjoy the wonders of our local food, a tour through the vineyards for tasting excellent wine, or recommend local shops. Certainly choosing one of the proposed tours will be pleasant because they represent the pearls of the east coast, you will have the opportunity to use my experience to spend a relaxing and unforgettable holiday in Sicily. If you are looking for a different tour than the ones published, please contact me and I will create a tailor-made one for you! So get ready, I'm waiting for you! I have been working as a qualified licensed guide of Sicily since 1999 I’m not a driver, my tours are included with transport and professional driver. If you have a car I can accompany you in your vehicle.

Salvina was just THE best guide that we could have asked for EVER! Her knowledge was informative and endless and she is a really fun person, so we were very happy to have chosen her as our Taormina guide. It really was a pleasure to be in her company for 3 hours and we could easily have spent all day with her and still wanted more! You absolutely will not be disappointed on her tour; Salvina + Taormina = satisfaction...so book her today to avoid disappointment!

Salvina is very client oriented and friendly. It was a pleasure to spend the 3 hours together. She is very knowledgeable about history and anthropology as well as the culture of Taormina. At the end of the Tour the restaurant she suggested, Shelter Ristorante and Pizzeria, was outstanding. We returned another day and had a delightful lunch of eggplant Parmigiana, seafood risotto, mushroom omelet Planeta Segreta Bianco which was outstanding.

I had a wonderful few hours walking around Taormina with Salvina. Salvina is passionate about her job and very knowledgeable about both Taormina and the history of Sicily. You get a really good understanding of the history of Taormina and Sicily while walking around and seeing the wonderful sights the city has to offer. Salvina is personable and easy to talk to so the time flew by. And it finished with a delicious plate of Sicilian delicacies and glass of wine.
