Educational after an uphill walk to site. Informative and interesting way of putting events of ancient history in order.
Eva is an enthusiastic guide who can tell extensively. She gives a lot of information. You can tell she loves doing this. It was definitely an added value.
Very knowledgeable and organized guide. It was a wonderful experience that allowed us to learn more about our land.
The Park was fascinating and Federica was an excellent guide. She was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and easy to understand. She definitely added much to the experience...and navigated around the excessive cruise crowds beautifully. It was a great tour!
Positive experience. In a short time it allows you to discover the past history of an important city like Syracuse. Guide prepared, nice that attracts with different stories / legends the attention of both adults but also children. Highly recommended.
Eva made this tour very competent and nice and also made sure to use shady points for her explanations on this hot day. We learned a lot about the history of Siracusa in a vivid way. This tour is highly recommended!
The experience itself was very nice and the park was very big and beautiful with lots of things to see. I also had the best host, Eva, who made it even more enjoyable
Pleasantly surprised! A nice experience to admire and definitely worth it. You'll be sweet here for two hours easily. Afterwards you can enjoy a snack and drink at the end of the second part. Perfect for those who love walking and art. Definitely recommended and I would do it again!
Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the site, and gave great descriptions that helped us understand.
