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.
Messina a rising city through art and culture-walking tour
Ever since its foundation Messina, now the 3rd largest city in Sicily, had to survive against wars and natural disasters. Follow me in an amazing journey through its glorious past and you'll get to know medieval churches, Renaissance and Baroque fountains, exquisite paintings by Caravaggio and Art Déco buildings marking the rise of the new city after the early XXth century tremendous earthquake. I can customize the tour according to your schedule and personal requests. Feel free to ask me!
