Great discovery of Syracuse by tuk-tuk

Today, we took a two-hour tuk-tuk tour between the modern city of Syracuse and the island of Ortigia. It was an excellent experience. Our driver, Francesco, was very professional, available, and fascinating. Thanks to WhatsApp, we received all the information regarding the meeting point very quickly. Although he does not speak French, he uses Google Translate in real time, which allowed us to follow all his explanations perfectly. The tour includes several stops at remarkable places. Despite the high heat of the afternoon, the tuk-tuk ride remained very pleasant and we were not particularly bothered. A big thank you to Francesco for this beautiful discovery and for this excellent afternoon. We recommend this tour without hesitation.

Great Way to see Ortigia & Syracuse

We had a fun, informative journey around Ortigia & Syracuse. Francesco gave us great detail on the highlights of the city. We reached many places that we not have walked to. We were dropped at the end of our tour request at the archaeological park. Thank you Francesco for a fun & memorable tour. We thoroughly recommend you do this tour..

An excellent, professional, and very family-friendly tour

We loved the tour with Francesco. The trip was great! Our family had a great time. Francesco told us about Syracuse and Ortigia with great professionalism and was super willing to answer our questions! He also had a lot of patience with us at the stops with our young son. And the fact that it was in simultaneous translation helped us a lot since we don't understand Italian. I definitely recommend this tour! Thank you very much Francesco for this tour!

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?
