General Information

When you think of Syracuse, the image that probably comes to mind is of blue skies, a beautiful bay and the ruins of a Greek city that rivals Athens. You will have the chance to bring all this to life by joining us on this fantastic excursion. Arriving at the historic centre, you will see narrow streets lined with medieval and baroque buildings adorned with wrought-iron balconies overflowing with flowers. You will pass by the beautiful Arethusa Fountain and in the square you will be amazed by the view of the bay. Next, proceed to see the Cathedral from the outside, a graceful structure built in the 7th century on the foundations of the former Temple of Minerva. You can enjoy a stroll around Piazza Duomo before returning to your destination.

  1. Michael:

    We spent a pleasant morning strolling around Ortigia and listening our tour guide voice and explanations, who was able to entertain us and immediately capture our attention. Very knowledgeable and prepared, it was truly delightful to be guided through the alleyways and discover the wonders of Syracuse.
    Absolutely one of the best tours I have ever taken in my life.
