The tour was great, the guide spoke fluently English. We had a pick up at the hotel, even it was a bit too late because of traffic jam. Only the archaeological park is not worth the money. The Greek Theater was covered for n plastic, the termin mb of archimedes isn't really his tomb (fake tomb) and the signs in the park are really confusing. Better take your time, having an espresso.
