Registered on November 13, 2021

My name is Ivan, I am a tour guide and tour leader with regular qualification to operate throughout the territory of the Sicily region. "Son of Mongibello" I have deepened the history of my land through different courses of study (degree in modern literature with historical-artistic address, three-year degree in tourism sciences and specialist in History of Art) which have given the theoretical basis to my work. I also strengthened my knowledge in the food and wine field by attending cooking classes. My other passions: photography, cinema, music and literature. I like to design new and original itineraries. Always available for those who want to discover the true soul of Sicily.

Tour description

You can take a "sentimental walk" with me, because only those born in this city can help you discover it. But it's not enough just to be born in a place to get to know it better, you also need to study it from all possible aspects: historical, artistic, economic, social. What I will tell you is the true life of the city and its most illustrious sons. I'll tell you about literature, music, film, cooking. In just a few hours, I will show you all that this city can offer according to your needs and interests, because a visit is also an encounter.
Our walk will start from Piazza Duomo and will end in Piazza Università in a ring itinerary that will embrace almost the entire historic center with its most important monuments:

  • Piazza Duomo
  • Cathedral
  • Elephant Palace
  • Fish shop
  • Ursino Castle
  • Piazza Mazzini
  • Via dei Crociferi
  • Via Etnea
  • University Square
