Great 2 hr tour in English

Communication before, during and after tour was excellent. We enjoyed a four person tour with Francesco providing both Italian (translated) commentary in a speaker for rear passengers and also in English as we went, answering all our additional questions. His flexibility for accommodating my elderly parents was appreciated. We enjoyed our tour of Ortigia and Syracuse.

Ok, not great.

Guide tried hard, but his English was limited. He didn’t really explain anything. Played a recording a couple of times. Would have been just as good going directly to the Temple of Apollo and booking it there. Pick up was confusing.

Operator response

Good evening, I'm Massimiliano, the owner of Ape tour Siracusa. Can you please tell me the name of the driver or the booking number so I can trace who drove the vehicle to check if it concerns my company?

This was one of the best...

This was one of the best tours we have taken! Francesco was so incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He was an instant friend. We would use his services before anyone else's. The tour included 10-15 minutes in some of the locations while he waited by the tuk tuk. We walked away feeling good about what we learned and confident that we were in good hands.

Outstanding tour!

Francesco was wonderful! Contacted me ahead of time to confirm, arrived at the pickup destination right on time (even a few minutes early), and was extremely friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable about all of the sites. He spoke English extremely well, but he also spoke Italian into a speaker which translated everything to English perfectly with excellent sound quality! This trip was all we had hoped it would be and more - highly recommend!!

fun + relaxing

Francesco was our guide, he is awesome and very entertaining. we were happy to have the ape calessino take us around and get our bearings- especially as we had a limited stay in Siracusa/Ortigia. the sites are pretty spread out, so we were thankful that we could sit back and enjoy the ride. he used an app translator, which was pretty entertaining as it was in a woman's voice :) we really liked our music dance break too. grazie, Francesco - good luck with everything :)

The best 2 hour tour that you must do on your first afternoon!

Francesco is so accomodating and although his english is good he uses a translator that is clear and concise. We loved this tour and highly recommend!!!

Amazing tour with Francesco!

We had an amazing experience with Francesco! His knowledge & passion for his city was inspiring. We learned so much & enjoyed her sense of humor. We now know why the other drivers call him “the number one driver”! Don’t miss the chance to experience the “tiny alley” roller coaster experience with Francesco!
