Amazing walking tour of Ortigia with a true local - We had the pleasure of touring Ortigia with the most wonderful guide, Biagio Giaccone through Prestelli tours. Prestelli were very easy and flexible to work with. Biagio was incredibly knowledgable, informative, interesting and fun. He was such a pleasure to spend time with provided an insiders perspective to the beautiful and rich history, culture, and charm of Ortigia.

Archeology, History, Food, Shopping, AND A Driver...A GREAT DAY! - Corrado was a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide! He made the day interesting and enjoyable for all six of us, ages 61 to 74. The restaurant chosen for this tour is a very popular one for locals - always a good sign. It was busy but both the food and service were wonderful! I would recommend this tour to anyone!

An excellent tour in Siracusa with a super guide - Biagio was not only a driver and guide, but also an incredible wealth of knowledge about the history of Siracusa and Sicily's relationship to the world. Biagio's explanations at the Greek archeological site made viewing the ruins come alive regarding the construction and uses of the various structures there. One particular highlight was in the Ear of Dyonisius cave. In a strong and well pitched baritone, he sang Italian, French, and Spanish songs the echoes were incredible. After our visit to Greek archeological site, we then went to Ortigia island. Because Biagio has been a life long inhabitant of Ortigia, not only did he show us the major sites on the island, but also the curious or hidden beauty places on the island. As part of the tour, Biagio took us to the restaurant Tempio di Athena where we had an excellent luncheon together. After the tour, my wife and I agreed that we were extremely fortunate to meet Biagio who is a gentleman and a warm, friendly person. We highly recommend this tour.

exciting tour with guide Biaggio - My brother advised me to take the BIAGGIO guide and we were delighted! He speaks impeccable French (but also German and English!), he is very cultured, funny, lively… And he has plenty of surprises in store during the visit! A real joy. We RECOMMEND it to you with your eyes closed!!

Fabulous introduction to Siracusa - Biagio was fabulous. He was full of information and spoke excellent English. We were a mixed group of travelers in our fifties and early twenties, and Biagio kept all of us fully engaged. The transportation was clean, comfortable and convenient. We had a short visit to Siracusa, and this tour allowed us to maximize our limited time. We included the food and wine experience at the end and had a delightful experience at Jobi. We enjoyed local sparking, white and red wines along with a taste of several local specialties. It was a wonderful end to the tour and definitely worth the additional expense. Ask Biagio to sing for you for a real treat.

Paolo gave us a great time in Syracusa - Paolo gave us a great time in Syracusa. He picked us up at our hotel in his car and first took us to the archeological park where there are Greek and Roman ruins. As we walked thru the park Paolo regaled us with history and lore. He was very knowledgeable. After the park he drove back to Ortigia, found a parking spot and then gave us a great walking tour of the island. With each street he would point out fabulous historical details about the buildings and cultures of the past. We walked all the way to the lower tip where the natural spring emerges and the castle was built. He then took us to a nice sidewalk cafe where he had arranged a great lunch. He left us to indulge in great Sicilian wine and food.
