Meet Giorgio, your local guide in Sicily

About Giorgio

Giorgio is our resident driver-guide in Palermo and Western Sicily. He's one of only a handful of guides in Sicily who are fully licensed as both a local guide and a driver. Unicorns do exist after all!

With a special focus on the history, culture, and folklore of his island, Giorgio has spent the better part of two decades helping visitors get truly under the skin of Sicily. He runs tours all over the island, including multi-day and weeklong trips.

If you're coming to Sicily for a sort of "heritage tour" to see where your ancestors were from, he also knows all the ins and outs of visiting town halls, record searches, and more.

Please note: Giorgio is a tour operator and has a small team of great guides who work with him. Even if he isn't personally available, he can usually have one of them cover for him.

A note from Giorgio

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 and travel planner, 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, as a Tour Escort first, then as a tour operator, and finally as a guide and travel agent. Over that time, I took a degree in Cultural tourism at the University of Palermo, deepening my understanding of our history, art history, archaeology, and Sicilian folklore.
