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

As I have been living in Taormina since over 30 years I will be able to show you also the hidden corners, out of the common paths. . . This lovely spot was resort of many writers, artists, movie stars and personalities in the past and it is still nowadays. We will take a nice walk through the Corso Umberto, the popular shopping road, and visit the most famous monument of Sicily, the Greek-Roman theatre. You will discover the best part of this little town in the narrow little streets, its beautiful public garden, the panoramic squares and you will be told about the incredible stories which made this place so unique. . .

Chiara is terrific. She adapted the tour to deal with the very hot weather and some mobility issues on our part. She’s smart, knowledgeable, funny, and a joy to spend time with.

Jerry was a terrific guide! He was full of knowledge about Taormina, delivered with friendly humor. He showed us many “hidden” gem locations that we would have otherwise missed. A true “friend” by the tour end!

It was a pleasure to spend time with Chiara! She was extremely knowledgeable about the sites, history, architecture and plants/flowers. She pointed out things that we would have never noticed on our one. I highly recommend her!

We so enjoyed our time with Jerry. His positive energy he put into the time spent with us was very inspiring. The tour was a great balance of old and new with the best culinary stop along the way. Thanks for a great tour.
