Excellent Tour! - Gianmarco was an excellent driver and guide! He was friendly and pleasant to chat with on the drives between locations! This tour was nice as you get a mix of ancient sites and the historic centers of Siracusa and Noto! We had lunch with Gianmarco where we had the opportunity to try authentic foods specific to Siracusa!

Beautiful Day - Brilliant day!! The tour company was incredible in accommodating us after we missed each other first time around!! Rustian was an amazing guide!! He looked after us perfectly! Sincere thanks to everyone for such a great day! Fyi- we were staying in Recagnati- very easy to get to central train station in Catania with 1 bus in under and hour, so please don’t be intimidated by the commute well worth it!

Happy memories. - I really enjoyed this tour. The tour guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and experienced. They comfortably led a diverse group. For me, this was a perfect experience because it provided a balance of directed time and free time. Several options were given for our free time. I’ll have happy memories about this trip.

Great day trip! - This was a great day trip from Catania! Alessio really knows the history and highlights to ensure you don’t miss the good stuff. There was a little time to explore on your own, which was also perfect. Grazie, Alessio!

Great walking experience! - We enjoyed the historical commentary from our guide (Alessio) and the Siragusa walk experiencing the ruins. Also we like Oritigia and seeing the temples and had nice authentic Sicilian street food. Neto was rainy but we learned about the flower festival in May and ate great gelato!

Good places to visit with a lot of history - Good places to visit with a lot of history. The guide Rustian was very informative. Bit of a delayed start to our trip due to a mix up with pick ups. Not the fault of our guide but it did have a knock on effect. I do not think we had sufficient time at the last stop. We did not manage to see everything in the Archaeological Park which was disappointing. Could have done with an extra 30 minutes at least

Nice tour! - Tour was especially helpful in being able to experience these exceptional areas. Our tour was part of a 2-group 2-guide tour . Our guide, Marco, was excellent; highly recommend him. The main guide continued to smoke while walking in front of us. That was the only disappointment.
