Additional Information

Join our shared group exploration of Syracuse’s primary archaeological site. The tour takes you through the Neapolis park, where you’ll see monuments like the latomie, Cordari’s cave, the ear of Dionysius, the Greek theater (only partially visible during summers due to theater performances), the nymphaeum, Ieron II’s altar, and the Roman amphitheater. We limit our groups to a maximum of 15 people for a more intimate experience. Groups of over six people will be provided with complimentary radio guide receivers. Please note that entrance tickets to the Neapolis archaeological park are not included and must be bought separately before the starting time of the tour, or you can choose the ‘tour + ticket’ package, which includes a skip-the-line entry ticket.

  • Note: during the period of the shows (usually spring and summer) the Greek theater is covered and only partially visible.

Don't think twice; do this tour - My tour with Eva was excellent. The company was extremely professional in communicating with participants before the tour, and this is especially significant because the museum site had last-minute closures/restrictions that didn't allow for a full experience. I was given the option to cancel for a refund if I didn't want the fallout, but I soldiered on and learned a great deal. Eva shared lots of information without being "too talkative". I strongly recommend this option if you are looking for a great company and a great visit of the park.

Touring Neapolis - Ava is a fantastic guide. We had a great and knowledgeable tour with her. I would highly recommend this tour, but get there a bit early to buy your Tix in advance and avoid lines. Also tour starts at street entrance, not at actual ticket entrance.
