About Tour Guide Caterina D.

I'm a professional tour guide since 2000 and I'm very committed and focused on sharing my home region's richness in natural, historical and cultural beauty with people approaching Sicily. This is a land where we care about the others and our lifestyle is easy and relaxed.

In showing people around I always try to mix descriptions of the Sicilian cultural heritage with detailed insights on what being Sicilians means.

Essential Messina - walking tour

Messina is an amazing city, and its unique setting on the Straits separating Sicily from Italy inspired a saying: "Messina is the gate to Italy!". During our walking tour you’ll see the amazing view over the straits and I’ll tell you all about the glorious past of the city and the many legends connected to that. Churches, fountains, elegant palaces and cafès where the real Messinesi stop to meet friends and also to discuss business, that’s all you’re going to savour during this tour.

Charming Cefalù

Cefalù, the ancient Cephaloidion, is today a charming medieval town set in north western Sicily. Its unique Cathedral, listed in UNESCO Heritage, opens up on a square where local people and visitors stop at cafés and restaurants. Then cobbled alleys, arches listed by lava stones and little shops where you can find ancient and modern pottery decorated in bright colours add that special charm to this unique town. The former fishermen village is a very lively place and you'll definetely love it.
