Great Tour and Amazing Tour Guide - The tour was great, and Serena our tour guide was amazing. We also added a food tasting to our tour and I highly recommend this addition. When our tour was over, I felt like we were leaving a friend.

A fascinating tour experience! 5/5 stars!! - Serena is a fantastic tour guide! She was super professional and guided me through the archeological park with lots of interesting history and background. She clearly knows a ton about the area and she is great at distilling all of that knowledge into an entertaining and well-paced tour. Highly recommended!!!

Private tour of Syracuse - We visited the archaeological area of Neapolis and Ortigia accompanied by Serena. Already at the time of booking we had detailed information. With great passion and competence he guided us in the archaeological area. Then we drove step by step through the chaotic traffic of Syracuse to the island of Ortigia. In this pearl we took another dive into the past and beauty. There was no shortage of information on the most suitable delicacies and places. Thanks Serena

Ortigia and the surrounding area are made more memorable with the help of Serena’s knowledge, love and passion for it. - Serena took my husband and me on a “full day immersion” of Ortigia and Syracuse. She added stories, history, legends and cultural significance to our experience. We looked at pillars and then learned a whole back story that included stories about prisoners and invasions. The tasting at lunch took place at her husband’s parents home at a typical house in Ortigia. We were welcomed into their home and served a feast made by her husband, including the best arancini we have ever had! And then homemade lemon granita and his mother’s lemoncello. Then we enjoyed an afternoon in Noto visiting churches- 32 Catholic Churches in a small town! I highly recommend Serena as a guide and her chef’s tasting lunch! It made our vacation much more memorable.

A very pleasant walk through the history of Syracuse - Serena represents the hospitality and cheerfulness typical of the people of Sicily, highly prepared with a narrative ability that involves and keeps the listener always attentive to the story of the thousand-year history of the splendid Syracuse from the ancient city of Greek and Roman origins, preserved within the archaeological park up to the wonderful island of Ortigia. Half a day that allowed us to better understand the dazzling beauty of this wonderful city, a highly recommended experience. Thanks Serena

Serena TOP - Serena made us "experience" Syracuse and Noto by transmitting her passion and professionalism to us. She explained every corner of the streets, monuments and "landscapes" to us in a masterful way, also giving us the opportunity to ask questions and satisfy any of our curiosities. about the places. In our previous travel experiences, it has rarely happened to us to be accompanied by such a well-prepared, enthusiastic and genuine guide, always available to convey the "beyond" to us. We will certainly contact her again when we return to Syracuse to share with her again unforgettable moments.

Excellent tour guide in Siracusa - We spent 1 and a half days with Serena and she is excellent. Our half day was a visit to the Archeological Park in Siracusa followed by a walking tour around Ortigia. The next day we spent the entire day with Serena and visited Ragusa, Modica and Noto. Serena is extremely knowledgeable about all the places we visited and was a delightful companion while getting to know this part of Sicily. Highly recommended.

Don’t use Viator in Sicily - Zero stars They never showed up for the tour!! Thank goodness another tour group allowed us to tag along or the whole history of Siracusa would have been lost to us On top of that , my tour was cancelled n Ragusa for the next day for no reason Stay away from Viator in Sicily
