Dear Guest, my name is Valentina and I am a licensed Tour Guide based in Sicily. I have got a Master Degree in History of Art and I am currently a PhD researcher in Archaeology, with a project for the enhancement of the Sicilian Megalithic Heritage. I will be glad to help you set your visit to this beautiful island. I provide a Find Your Roots Tour, if you are originally from Sicily and you want to discover your family's history or meet relatives still living here. Very helpful also the itinerary consultation, to plan your trip with the best recommendations from a local expert! I highly suggest to adopt these good practices for a sustainable trip to Sicily. 1) Staying in an Hotel is the best way to support local hospitality 2) Use a local driver and trains where is possible, renting a car is not recommended. 3) Follow the restaurants opening hours (12. 30/2 pm- 7. 30/10 pm) and the local siesta (2 to 4pm). 4) Winter and fall are the less crowded moment to visit the island. 5) Sicily has got a countless number of archaeological areas and historical sights. Visit them hiring a local authorized guide! 6) Look a map of the island, Sicily is much bigger than you might think! -Licensed Local Guide for Sicily, Rome and Vatican City since 2009 -Phd researcher in Archaeology -Master in Heritage Studies -Bachelor of art in Art History -Teacher of Art History and Italian Language for foreigners -Studied Art History in Rome, Berlin, Rhodes, Amsterdam, Mexico City. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Ancient history paired with true local taste
Overview of your Trapani tour
This experience is recommended for guests spending more than one day in the Trapani area, or as a wonderful day trip from Palermo or Agrigento. The tour unfolds between archaeological sites, unspoiled nature, and charming villages with Arabic influences, revealing both peaceful and vibrant landscapes. In these quiet places, you may even experience true silence for the first time. Selinunte is the highlight of the day: the largest archaeological park in Europe and one of the most important Greek colonies in ancient Sicily, located on the island’s southwest coast. History, wide open spaces, and authentic Sicilian atmosphere come together in a unique and immersive experience.
Your Trapani tour itinerary
I will pick you up directly from your hotel in Trapani or Palermo, and we will reach Selinunte by car. Once inside the Archaeological Park, we will explore the area by riding a special electric train that allows us to comfortably cross the vast valley and admire the temples and ruins. After the guided visit, we will enjoy a light lunch stop surrounded by the Sicilian landscape. The tour continues with a visit to the Mazara area. Founded by the Phoenicians in the 9th century BC under the name Mazar, it is today an important agricultural and fishing center, home to the largest fishing fleet in Italy. In the afternoon, we will return to Trapani or Palermo, according to the location of your hotel.
