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. Great tour!!

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. Chilled walk around ortigia

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.Marvelous Mirco’s Magical Excursion

Really enjoyed having Paolo as a guide in Syracuse and Ortigia. We were so glad we took the time make this stop on our Italy trip. The way the Greeks and those that followed engineered and built was fascinating. Ortigia was beautiful and would be a lovely place to return. Highly recommend this tour!Highly Recommended!

Paolo met our cruise ship promptly as arranged. We made the short ride to the archeological park. His narration made everything come to life. And he also knew all the best photo spots! Our walk in Ortigia was equally nice. Just a beautiful day spent with a knowledgeable and easy-going guide!Beautiful Day in Syracuse

Paolo was an excellent guide and was able to show us around Syracuse and we learned a lot about the history and various cultures. In addition to seeing the main sites on this tour, Paolo graciously took us to see the nature park where we got to see flamingos and a wide variety of other birds, ancient ruins that are some of the oldest in Europe and carved into the rock-- this was a highlight of our entire vacation-- along with some WWII fortifications. We are still talking about it weeks later.Excellend Guide - Must Book

Paolo was right on time and kindly squired me around Siracusa and Ortigia in his own car. He was most informative, fun, and warm - a thoroughly enjoyable experience. His expertise made my trip so much more enjoyable, I can't imagine why anyone would want to see these things without the services of a knowledgeable guide such as Paolo!Better than we imagined
