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.

Fausto is an amazing communicator who relates ample historical and anecdotal information pertinent to the visited area. We felt engaged fully throughout the entire tour, and were able to learn and enjoy every moment of his discourse. Fausto made our introduction to Ortigia enjoyable and educational with his friendly and warm demeanor. We highly recommend Fausto!
