Vedere Palermo con gli occhi di Virginia è stata un’esperienza che lascia una traccia indelebile nel proprio cuore.Ti porta per mano per le vie di questa città, raccontandoti la storia antica, la tradizione culinaria, ma soprattutto la storia moderna fatta di resistenza e di voglia di rinascita. La sua forza sta nell’amore che nutre per questa terra e nel trasmetterla anche in chi la ascolta

Virginia was a wonderful discovery, we immediately felt in tune. He accompanied us on a tour of Kalsa, a district of Palermo, full of suggestions. And then he showed us the Palatine Chapel in a masterly way. Having her as a guide was a gift on a holiday discovering the beauties of Palermo.

tovagliaquadri

on the tour that everyone should experience, Virginia gives you the privilege not only of seeing every corner of the city, but of feeling it, of imagining every single passage of the different cultures that characterize it. Virginia takes you by the hand and takes you into a whirlwind of history, curiosities and anecdotes with contagious energy. Thank you

It's our first time in Sicily... And we decided to stop in Palermo before continuing on the private tour to Trapani, Agrigento, Modica and Catania. Our trusted agency recommended Virginia to us... a young girl enthusiastic about telling and transmitting her love for Palermo and more generally for Sicily! He accompanied us for half a day through the streets of the capital, guiding us among the most characteristic views and telling us about curiosities that not even the paper guide we had purchased was able to tell us... And... the icing on the cake... he also follows us on our remote tour, advising us and keeping in touch with us until the end of our holiday! Thanks Virginia!! Thank you!

Tre giorni sono sufficienti per vivere la meraviglia. Monreale, il duomo, martorana, Santa Caterina d’Alessandria meravigliosa così come la pasticceria al suo interno .

How could I not leave a positive review? The cathedral, the Royal Palace, the Teatro Massimo, the markets, the good food...Palermo is a warm, sunny, real city, just as Virginia is our spectacular guide, or rather narrator... yes, because she tells you about the city by accompanying you every time on a journey full of anecdotes and background stories that make the excursion unique! Thank you very much Virginia, we'll see you soon!!
