Sebastian – GermanyOctober 11, 2023 – Verified booking
Sebastiano war ein exzellenter Guide. Er hat alles interessant gestaltet und so erzählt, dass man in Verbindung mit den Orten ein tolles Bild vor Augen hatte, wie es damals wohl zugegangen sein muss. Meine beiden Kinder (11 und 13) fanden es auch sehr interessant und erzählen heute noch von Dingen, die Sebastiano erklärt hat. Vielen Dank für die tolle Führung, bleib so, wie du bist!

Had a great tour of the Neapolis Archaeological Park. Our guide was informative and very sweet. There was an issue with getting into the Roman Colosseum as the employees closed that portion early for some reason. Our guide advocated for our group to allow us to get in and see it. So happy she did because it was a memorable portion of the tour. Highly recommend doing this tour if in the Syracuse area.

Very well informed for the whole tour by our guide Eva. We would definitely recommend this tour as it’s gives you a great cultural perspective of how the island of Sicily was ruled and conquered throughout the centuries. We were able to ask questions throughout our tour all of which were answered in a professional manner. The booking system was very simple and all responding emails regarding our tour, booking and ticket information was very clearly provided. Thank you Eva for a lovely tour.
