Alessandro was a... - Alessandro was a wonderful companion for the day. He was very knowledgeable about the history & beautiful sites & customized the itinerary based on my interests. I felt I experienced Syracuse, Noto and Ortigia in depth & saw things I would have missed on my own. We drove from Cantania and back for the day tour & it was easily done and very enjoyable.

Excellent day tour with Alessandro - Alessandro walked us through the local ruins and architecture then drove us to museums, the beach, and the archaeological park (well worth it). Excellent day excursion.

Alessandro in Siracusa/Ortigia - Alessandro took us on a fantastic custom tour of Siracusa/Ortigia as part of our transfer from Noto to Taormina during our Sicily vacation. We spent about 8 hours with him. We saw a lot and learned a lot. He was super enthusiastic and had a great sense of humor, always sharing his knowledge with us. The time was well organized with a wide variety of sights, some shopping and some eating, and plenty of flexibility and optionality of our choosing also in the schedule. Original booking and communication was also very smooth. Highly recommend spending time with Alessandro!

Great day with flexible pickup/dropoff - We had a great day with our tour guide Alejandro. He is very kind, knowledgeable and humorous and gave us a lot of good recommendations. One particular thing I want to highlight is our tour guide is really flexible, we got picked up from Catania Airport in the morning and dropped at our hotel in Taormina in the evening.

Viator provided us with Unlicensed and unknowledgeable guide most disappointing experience. - This trip was a complete ripoff. This guide knew nothing about the attractions we stopped at and did not enter the archaeological areas we visited just told us to go walk and he would wait in the car on everything we did. We were so frustrated with home we released him at lunchtime. We had a driver at best but a terrible guide and do not believe he had a license to be a guide. We’ll definitely look to our credit card company to get a full refund. Hopefully Victor will refund our money but more importantly only use licensed guides. Betsy M
