    A good pace with a good guide!

    "My group of 9 women were very impressed by their tour with Paolo. They had time to explore Otigia/ Siracusa at a good pace. Paola - they told me, was \"our type of guide\". He gave a lot of facts and stories, yet did not talk TOO much! A friendly and considerate guide. My busiess looks forward to using his expertise in the future."

    Great tour!!

    "Annalisa was amazing! She was very well versed in the history of the area and her expertise is archeology. She also gave us a flavor of local traditions. One of the most interesting aspects of our tour was when she took us to a small shop where papyrus is used to hand make paper. Truly facinating! Highly recommend her for your tour in Ortigia and Siracusa. "

    A knowledge download delight

    "We had a fascinating 2 hours with Michael, learning the history and architecture of Ortigia. Any questions we had, Michael had all the answers. It's clearly a passion for him and we thoroughly enjoyed our time and value the knowledge Michael shared with us."

    Informative and knowledgeable

    "We had a limited amount of time in Syracuse and decided to engage a guide to take us around so we could see as much as possible. Michele was very knowledgeable and explained the history of Syracuse and Ortigia, we packed a lot of sights in such a short amount of time. We highly recommend Michele, he did an amazing job. "

    Una guía profesional y acuciosa

    "Annalisa rebasó las expectativas: su formación como arqueóloga es un regalo de profesionalismo.. pero su amor a su tierra, Sicilia, rebasa toda expectativa y convierte el tour en excepcional. Absolutamente recomendable, por su seriedad y sencillez a la vez."
