Meet Giorgio, your local guide in Sicily

Greetings from Sicily! My name is Giorgio and I'm a local guide and travel planner based in sunny Palermo!

I deeply love my country and my island, so I have always tried to instill this love in my fellow travelers. As a guide, my first aim is to help travelers get beyond stereotypes regarding Sicily and to show how rich the Sicilian culture is - thanks to the many people that have passed through over the centuries, leaving signs of their own societies. You can find those traces in our monumental heritage but also in our language, in our habits, and finally in our cuisine.

I have been working in tourism in Sicily for the last 20 years, first as a tour leader, then a tour operator, and now for almost 15 years as a guide and travel agent. Over those many years, I also took a degree in Cultural tourism at the University of Palermo, deepening my understanding of our history, art, archaeology, and Sicilian folklore.

I have a deep knowledge of both the main and less visited Sicilian sites, and I am always on the hunt to find new hidden gems to show to my guests. When I am not touring Sicily with travellers, I am exploring the island with my friends!

Thanks to my fully licensed minivan I can take my guests everywhere in Sicily, visiting beautiful cities or admiring natural beauties, both for quick day trips and for multi-day and multi-week trips all over the island.

I especially enjoy ancestral tours, so if your roots are in Sicily I will help you find them! Together, we can visit your ancestral hometowns and even look for family records at local offices, churches, cemeteries etc.

No matter what you're looking for in Sicily, it will be my pleasure to help you find it.
