Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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. "
"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."
"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."
"We spent half a day with Mirco passing through the less travelled alleyways and secret corners of this wonderful city. Mirco obviously enjoys passing on his knowledge and his absolute love of all things Sicilian. His English is perfect which combined with his enthusiasm for the local history meant this was an engaging, informative addition to our stay in the city. Thank you Mirco and good luck to you and your girlfriend."

"Paolo meet us exactly on time at the appointed location. He was very friendly and helpful from the start. His knowledge of the area was excellent and his English was very good. We had a very pleasant walk around ortigia, sticking to quieter and shadier routes which was very much appreciated. I asked to be dropped off at a good local restaurant when we finished for lunch and he was very happy to do this. "
"If you want to learn about history of Syracuse/Ortigia while blissfully sampling all of the delicious food options along the beautiful and historic sites traversed, then Paolo is your guide.

"Mirco hat uns durch Gassen geführt, die ein wenig abseits der touristischen Pfade lagen und hat uns tips gegeben, die wir nicht auf dem Schirm hatten"
"Paolo was extremely accommodating with our schedule and flexible with our delayed flight. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the city. He was fun, energetic, and provided us with a many recommendations for local eats. He is an exceptional guide and we highly recommend a tour with Paolo. "
"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. "
"Annelisa was a wonderful guide and took care to tailor our trip to our interests. Do not hesitate to book with her 😊"
