Meet Dania, your local guide in Sicily

Hi, I’m Dania, a licensed tour guide living in Palermo and working as a tour leader and guide in Sicily (and all over Italy) since 2003. I am originally from northern Italy, and I was born in the city of Udine, but Sicily has been my home for over two decades.

My father is from Tuscany and my mom is from Slovenia, so I grew up bilingual, and after I graduated at the University of Bologna School for Translators and Interpreters (in German and Russian), I started traveling a bit around the word: In the late 90’s and early 2000’s I spent 3 months in Mexico, a couple of months in Boston, and then a year in Brazil, traveling around the country.

In 2001, I returned to Italy and I’ve been living in Palermo ever since. Of all the places I’ve lived or visited, Sicily is my favorite. It’s home!

I have spent the last 20+ years exploring every corner of this island and leading tours all over it, and I genuinely think that I know everywhere, even the tiny little places that no one goes to.

Sicily is a dream to travel in, in part because every city and small village is so different from one another, and this means you can have a truly varied experience here. No two places and no two days will ever be the same.

I would love to share everything that I know about this special place with you, and help make your vacation unforgettable. I’ve got a lot to say about Sicily and I’d like to think that I have wealth of knowledge to share, so let's discover this magnificent island together!
