Meet Paolo, your local guide in Sicily

About Paolo

Paolo's roots in Sicily go back generations and he's lived his entire life on the island. Based in Noto, the heart of the Baroque-studded southeast, he's been guiding visitors from all over the world on day trips and multi-day tours all over Sicily for well over a decade.

Fully licensed to guide and drive, he gives guests a touch of luxury with his fleet of immaculate Mercedes sedans and 7-seater vans.

A traveler himself, both internationally and in his own back yard, he understands first hand the wonder and joy of discovering new places. When not guiding, he enjoys leisurely meals and strolls through the countryside, things he encourages his clients to do as well!

In addition to being a licensed guide, Paolo also holds all the certifications of a travel agent and can, for clients who wish, make arrangements for hotels, tours, transfers, activities/experiences, and anything else you'd like to do while in Sicily.

A note from Paolo

Ciao a tutti! My name is Paolo and I'm a 100% Sicilian, born and raised. I'm based in the pretty little city of Noto in the island's southeast.

I've been working as a local guide and driver-guide for the last 15 years, and this means that for over a decade I've had the pleasure of doing what I love every day. For me, being a guide is not just a job, but my passion.

I'm fully licensed as both a local guide and a driver, which I'm proud to say is fairly unique in Sicily. Over the last few years I've attended several training courses in archeology, art, and culture, with the goal to keep expanding my own knowledge to offer better tours to my guests.

I'm always happy to show the most beautiful and hidden corners of Sicily. There's always more to learn, but I like to think that both as a local and an experienced guide that I know very well all of the island and have good insight into our culture, archeology, history, architecture, traditions, way of life, and our terrific food and wine.

I particularly like guiding multi-day tours where I work with clients to plan a great itinerary, and then personally guide them!
