Welcome to my homepage! My name is Barbara and I am a Freelance Tour Guide in the Province of Ragusa.
Come with me, together we will discover the beauties of the Hyblaean district, a land which offers its visitors... beautiful late-baroque churches with high belfries, noble houses adorned with funny masks making fun of the passer-by, breathtaking and enchanting views.
On this website you will find information about the major tourist destinations in the south-east Baroque District as well as some suggested itineraries which can also be customized to your needs. My tours, for Italian and foreign guests, are held both in Italian and in English. Do not hesitate to contact me for more information.
I'm waiting for you...we will make your visit an unforgettable experience!

Modica… “a town in the shape of a pomegranate split open; near the sea but still a country town, half confined to a rocky spur, half spread out at the foot of the hills, with a thousand flights of steps like peacemakers between the two parts of the town, and clouds in the sky between one bell-tower and an-other”
Gesualdo Bufalino “Argo, the Blind Man or Memory’s Dreams”

Food writer Matthew Fort goes on a culinary odyssey.'Extra virgin olive,' read Nato Sanguedolce's recipe for salmoriglio sauce, 'lemon juice, oregano and salt.' Then, as a coda: 'The extra virgin olive oil should be from Sant'Agatese olives, the lemons from Pettineo, and the wild oregano from the Nebrodi. And brush it on to the pork chops after they have finished cooking.' |

“Ragusa Ibla is exquisite. Perched on top of a hill above plunging valleys covered in lush vegetation of carob trees and prickly pears, it appears to have been carved out of the chalky, white limestone on which it sits”
