In addition we can add the market tour to taste some of the most delicious sicilian local food.

We had the pleasure of touring Syracuse with Leticia! She is very knowledgeable in all things Sicily: history, culture, culinary delights and much more. We not only enjoyed our time with her, but finished knowing more about this beautiful place!!!
My husband and I had a wonderful time with Letizia learning about Syracusa, its history, and other local places on this tour.
Wonderful tour. Letizia was very nice and very knowledgeable. Our Archaeological park tour was just my wife and I so that one on one experience with her was nice. Joined up with 4 others for Ortigia tour which was also enjoyable and informative. Would definitely recommend her to others considering those tours.
This was such a cool and incredible experience! Letizia was hands on a wealth of information on the Greek culture in Siracusa! If you are a history buff highly recommend well worth the price !
The afternoon was well organized and enjoyable. It is helpful to be with someone like Letizia who is not only a real professional, but knows everyone working at the sites. We hat benefitted us very specifically in a church we would not have been able to get into otherwise as there was a wedding in process. Thanks to Letizia, we were able to peak in and see important historical design features.
Letizia was very informative, friendly, entertaining, interesting with her broad knowledge of food, history, sights, stories, and deep personal family history in the area.
Letizia was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. She provided outstanding education and personalised stories of the history of Siracusa and Ortigia. Over and above that, she talked knowledgeably of local plants, foods, social and cultural traditions. She spoke clearly and at exactly the right level to get her information across. Excellent communication style, authoritative yet friendly. She offered and provided useful advice about other visits as well.
Very kind and personable tour guide! Thorough information about the history and fun facts. Would highly recommend.
We had a wonderful half day tour with Letizia. She is one of the best tour guides we have ever had. She is extremely fluent in English and provided so much interesting information about the history, culture, and cuisine of Siracusa in an easy to understand and coherent manner. We would highly recommend taking this tour with her early in one’s visit to this city.
We had a lovely small group tour. There were 3 couples on this day. Lucky us, we were there on a free admission date, so a bit crowded, but its a large area, so plenty of space. Our guide Letezia is very good at sharing all the history of Syracuse and made the trip memorable. Lots of walking. Spent time exploring the ancient city and then took a cab to Ortigia where we were introduced to the beauty and the history of this section of Syracuse as well. We received local recommendations and could plan the rest of our stay with the tips Letezia provided. Great way to start a visit.
