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!

Marco was charming and... - <p>Marco was charming and knowledgeable. It really is worth having a guide to add colour and detail for a visit to the park. It is much better than having your nose in a book. Marco told stories, legends, battles as well as highlighting flora. I noticed other visitors listening in! The tour lasts 2h.</p>
