Allison’s Sicily
For over 25 years,
I have been fortunate to build a private tour guiding business in Rome almost entirely through word-of-mouth.
During this time, I have learned how to anticipate my clients’ needs, understand their personal definition of luxury and service, and design experiences that are truly tailored to them.
About
One of the great blessings of time and experience is the opportunity to build meaningful relationships.
Over the years, I have created a trusted network of like-minded professionals who share my standards and values. For Sicily, I have carefully hand-selected exceptional local guides, drivers, and boutique hotels in the regions most often requested by my loyal clients—and by those discovering my services for the first time.
Sicily, nearly the size of Massachusetts, is Italy’s largest island and one of its most extraordinary regions.
It offers unparalleled layers of ancient history, breathtaking landscapes, a living volcano in Mount Etna, enchanting surrounding islands, historic salt flats, and vibrant towns filled with art and architecture. Remarkably, Sicily is home to seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites—all on one island. To introduce you to this remarkable destination, I have created three distinct seven-day itineraries, each offering a different perspective on Sicily.
