We took the tour of the island of Ortigia in a Tuk Tuk with the whole family, and we could not have made a better choice! The vehicle is very comfortable and fun, perfect even when traveling with children or seniors because it allows you to explore the island without getting tired... Our local guide was exceptional: knowledgeable, friendly, and very available to tell us the history and anecdotes of Syracuse. The quality-price ratio and the organization for the meeting point were also excellent. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ortigia!
