I am an archaeologist who has studied and worked in Sicily, Southern Italy, and Greece. I am involved in several programs and research activities both with the university and Archaeological parks in Sicily. I love working with kids and I have developed a consistent experience in this field. I will accompany you to discover some aspects of our wonderful land and narrate its history and secular traditions.

Outstanding!!
Toured Valley of the Temples with Laura
Laura and Alessandro are post doc trained archeologists. They were extremely knowledgeable about the sites, and were expert in explaining the historical context.
They were both delightful, articulate, and passionate about the subject matter.
Highest recommendation...a must if you are touring Sicily.

Agrigento Valley of the Temples
We toured the Valley of the Temples on Tuesday, April 3, 2018 with Laura. What a wonderful experience with such a knowledgeable and pleasant guide. Laura, a trained, experienced archaeologist and native of Agrigento, brought the ruins and site to life. We had previously visited both Segesta and Selinunte on our own. We strongly recommend a guide for at least one of the sites especially Agrigento to help explain what you see.
The nearly four hours we spent with Laura ended at the local museum. By this time the three of us were pretty tired, but Laura made the effort to give context to what we had seen amongst the ruins. The highlight of the museum, "the giant", made things Laura told us about at the Temple of Zeus have so much more meaning.
We loved everything about this tour but most of all our guide.

Absolutely Wonderful Guides and Company
Laura's expertise and guidance through the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento provided an understanding that we could not have achieved on our own.

Book this Laura from this company for the Temples!
We did a tour of the temples and the museum with Laura from Uncovered Sicily. She was excellent, knowledgeable, answered our questions, and went at a nice pace. A true professional, archeologist, personable. One of the highlights of our trip.
I highly recommend this company and Laura!

Best of the Best with Guides
Uncovered Sicily was everything I read about - and then a whole lot more. I worked with the staff repeatedly to find the right tour guide for us for Agrigento. Laura was our guide - she is both brilliant and also down to earth. It made our trip so wonderful. Highly recommend Uncovered Sicily! Treat yourself to the best.
