My name is Fausto and I am an authorized tour guide of the Sicily Region. I live in Syracuse, one of the most beautiful cities in the Mediterranean, where history, natural beauty and unique monuments in the world are intertwined. There is nothing more beautiful for me than to tell its thousand-year history to visitors, revealing its secrets and its beauty.

Il tour è stato strepitoso. Ortigia è meravigliosa e Fausto è stato incredibilmente coinvolgente. Con la massima professionalità, Fausto ha saputo catturare l'attenzione di tutto il numeroso gruppo, trasportandoci in un viaggio magico dall'epoca dei miti greci ai giorni nostri. Vivamente consigliato.

Outstanding. I'm a world traveller and I've done dozens of walking tours. Fausto is in my top 3 guides worldwide. The tour was interesting, informative and felt exclusive. Fausto showed us places otherwise not accessible (opera house) and gave us high quality information. 👌 Grazie mille!
