Alfredo is the best!! - Our tour guide, Alfredo, was a complete delight! He has a personal knowledge and history of Sicily, and the passion for the topic comes through his engaging presentation and stories of the region. We walked away feeling like we spent some time with a local who has lived the history. I highly recommend trying to get Alfredo if possible. One of the best tours we had during our visit to Sicily!

An inspiring and unique view of Taormina - Our tour guide, Margaret, was both knowledgeable and personable. And very forgiving. We misunderstood our meeting place and yet she waited patiently for us to find our way to her and then extended the length of our tour to make up for the time we had lost. She showed us the special highlights of this magical city by focusing not only on the most popular tourist attractions, but also on those parts of town where the locals tend to hang out. Highly recommend this tour with someone like Margaret who will go above and beyond expectations.

Beautiful view but no more - It is a beautiful Greek Theatre that is worth especially for its beautiful viewpoint. But it is very expensive for what it is and at the entrance the staff was very unpleasant. We wanted to rent audio guides. They asked us to leave an ID card but it had stayed at the hotel so they refused to rent us the audio guides when I said I could leave my credit card as security they sent me walking very unpleasantly and did not even give me the paper map of the site. Experience really not great. The ancient site of Syracuse is much more beautiful, larger and worth a visit than this small theater. Even if it is very beautiful
