A journey into the history of Calabria
Stilo is a wonderful village and this tour allows you to discover it through different eyes. Giorgio is a highly prepared guide who manages to tell the story of Tommaso Campanella in an engaging way, without ever being boring. Three hours indeed well spent.

A hidden historical gem
Stilo was one of the biggest surprises of our trip to Calabria. The Byzantine architecture, the small streets and the fascinating story of Tommaso Campanella made this tour unforgettable. Giorgio was an excellent guide and spoke excellent English.

Very interesting
A route rich in history and curiosity, suitable for those who love art and ancient villages. The Cattolica is even more fascinating in person. The climbs are a bit demanding, but the view and the explanations fully make up for it.

I liked the fact that the tour is not limited to the monuments, but also tells the stories of the village and its most important characters. Giorgio transmits a great passion for Stilo and manages to involve the whole group.
