Marco was very knowledgeable, and very flexible and friendly. Apparently I can't stop here, I don't know why, now I have to fill the space with things no-one cares about.

Barbie_B

Although it was nice to see the little towns, overall the tour was boring and not worth the cost. The tour guide was nice though.

This was the best activity we did in Sicily. Great Captain Dennis. Beautiful Syracuse harbor. Swimming right off the boat. Exploring the caves under Syracuse. The the best meal you could imagine awaits you as you are about to dock.

We spent $650 for a private tour. The ruins at Siracusa were ruined. They have almost none of their original integrity remaining. Our guide did not enter the site to explain any of the history. The Apollo Temple in Ortigia was also in a very sorry state of integrity. Next to Noto were we very much enjoyed the baroque cathedral, which is is a UNESCO world heritage site. Be warned, it was 105 degrees F in Noto the first week of June. This makes sightseeing generally unbearable. Our guide was very aggressive in breaking many traffic laws, including texting while driving at high speeds with half the car in one lane and the other half in the other lane, despite my son calling her on it because it was not legal. Rick music in Italian in the vehicle was very loud, to the point that the guide was unable to hear voices from the back seat. In my Europe travels, I have always invited quality guides to dine with us for lunch. This guide just sat down with us without an invitation, displaying a sense of entitlement. For the $650, the only pleasant part was the cathedral in Nito
