Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a wonderful, informative tour of Ortigia with Paola! He had great knowledge of the island and answered any of our questions. Paola was a very good tour 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."
"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. "
"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 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. "
"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. "
"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. Paolo is knowledgeable, friendly and most importantly respectful of you and your fellow travelers. An unbelievable experience you will not regret. Thank you Paolo!!!"
"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."
