Wonderful place, super driving! - We made the visit with Roberta, a very knowledgeable guide, and not only on the Greek theater and the Neapolis, but 360 degrees on Syracuse! Despite the great heat she managed to keep up the interest of the large group, managing explanations in various languages. The place deserves its own, and it wasn't the first time there, despite that, Roberta added so many details still unknown to me. Engaging explanations, very kind and nice guide! Oh, did I mention she's very, very prepared? Highly recommended!

A must do activity for any one of any age. - This tour was absolutely the best. Very personable and knowledgeable guide with excellent language skills. The history was explained in great detail to the point you could picture the amphitheatre as it would have been. The history of the stone being used for sea defences in Ortiga at the time also gave reference to the town as it was. Loved the information about the Gods at the time. The only downside is that it had to end.

Excellent tour, delivered in two languages - On this trip you will see all the components of Greek theatre & the Neapolis. You won’t miss any element of these since it is concise & well thought out. The guide was excellent too. However he delivered half the tour in Italian before repeating more or less the same content in English. This worked to a degree but meant a lot of hanging about in searing heat while he finished one language & began the next

Poor Greeks - We visited the archaeological park at the end of the afternoon. The ticket office is far from the entrance. The closing time does not coincide with the one shown on the sites with a 30' time difference The monuments have no indications whatsoever and are badly maintained. The staff is mostly rude. Dionysius' ear inside is completely dark and without lighting to figure out where he put his feet we used the phone flashlight. Other attractions in the park were closed. Absolutely not worth the price of the ticket alone 17€ There is no parking nearby which in the chaos of Syracuse is a real problem. A real shame because the site has enormous potential.

Can be beautiful, but not recommended during the construction of Greek festival - With us they were busy with a festival, so many pieces were cordoned off and the “beautiful” and “authentic” road was also taken away by stage and risers around it.
