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.
