It was a wonderful experience. The guides were great and the sites were spectacular. Our guide was easy to understand and very informed. The one complaint is that there should have been a lunch break between the two portions of the excursion: the archeological park and Ortygia. It was too much walking without a break.

I liked the excursion, we got picked up from hotel in the big, modern bus. I liked that we had breaks and that we were given a lot of free time to walk in the city. I think you shouldn't organize three language excursion. It takes a lot of time to share the information and our guide (Alfredo) was giving different information in different languages and he was quite chaotic in the explanation. I find that's a pity because he is very knowledgeable person and shared a lot of stories, it was just sometimes hard to make a link between the pieces of information that we got. Also, maybe you should consider organising earlier or later trip, it was dead hot already at 11am and it's really difficult to stroll around the stone city with all the heat.

The day was well organised with the bus picking us up promptly at Giardini Naxos at 7.30. Make sure you are early the bus does not wait for long! Following more pick ups from Taormina etc we were on our way and to our surprise stopped at a service station for 20 mins (I’m assuming as the driver needed to stop due to time on the road - as otherwise a very odd place to stop) in hindsight we would have however bought snacks as there was a lot of time between breakfast and lunch, especially for anyone like us who did not really have time for breakfast with the early pick up point. However they are the downsides the trip was totally worth it! Spectacular sites of the Greek theatre and the paradise caves were brilliant. And Ortigia was beautiful with amazing buildings to go view. Overall a great trip with our guide, Eva being very knowledgable, interesting and funny!
