Great time!!
First of all, Corrado was an excellent guide! He was on time had a great depth of knowledge about Syracuse, Ortigia and Sicilian history in general. He was personable and organized. This tour itself is also a great value hitting all the important archaeologic and cultural spots with an excellent lunch also provided.. I highly recommend this tour!

Syracuse and Ortigia
Booked tour through Prestelli with Corrado Carpona. It was our third day through Prestelli and every day was terrific. Corrado was prompt, pleasant, and very informative! Considerate of our restroom and walking needs as an older couple, he set a very manageable pace that covered the areas so well. He even arranged to dodge the intermittent rain!

Ancient History Comes Alive
This tour is a MUST when visiting Siracusa. It is critical to understanding the ancient Greek and Roman settlements, as well as subsequent cultures that came after them. This area is certainly worthy of being named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Ancient History Comes Alive!
This tour is a MUST when visiting Siracusa. We advise booking it for the first day of your visit in order to understand the ancient history of the city. Touring with Biagio was like earning a Master’s degree in history. We learned so much about Greek and Roman settlements and the subsequent cultures who conquered the area. This archaeological park is an amazing UNESCO World Heritage site that should not be missed on a visit to Sicily.

Visiting the Archaeological Park at Syracuse
My husband and I are from Australia wanted to visit these ancient ruins and we're delighted with this guided tour. Our guide, Biagio,collected us from our hotel on Oetigia and drive us to the Park (and back afterwards). Biagio was charming with excellent English who was brimming with information about the Archaeological ruins as well as the history of Syracusa. His was of testing Dionysius' Ear was fantastic!
