The past comes to life in Syracuse – a city packed with classical heritage as well as flamboyant Sicilian Baroque architecture. You'll visit the Greek theatre, go into the Ear of Dionysius and explore Ortygia island, the heart of the old town and location of Baroque gems such as the cathedral. Dino, one of our expert local guides, says "the whole point of this tour is to give you the best snapshot look at Syracuse's history and culture in one day. By the end of it, you'll know the city and its heritage inside and out."

With more than 2,700 years of history behind it, Syracuse is one of Sicily's most fascinating cities. Your journey through time kicks off at the Archaeological Park in the west of the city. Discover the Greek Theatre, which held 15,000 spectators in its heyday, and still awes despite the ravages of time. There's also the Altar of Hiero – a massive sacrificial slab – the Ear of Dionysius as well as the Roman amphitheatre.

You'll then cross the bridge to Ortygia island. Its labyrinthine streets are packed with churches, palaces and castles. A guided tour will take in all the top attractions, including the cathedral. You'll then have a couple of hours of free time to explore at your own pace.

Deze dagtrip was veel te kort. De uitleg in de bus was onvolledig. De uitleg op de archeologische site was goed. De vrije tijd in het oude stadsgedeelte van Syracuse: Ortigia, was véél te kort, de gids leek haast te hebben huiswaarts te keren om 15u. Dit kan echt wel met twee uur verlengd worden.

Alex our guide was brilliant, he made sure that I was ok after each part of our experience, which when you have chronic fatigue syndrome, is very important to myself and my wife. There wasn't anything that we could find fault with, we enjoyed having time for ourselves to go off & explore plus good quality time with Alex our guide. Alex engaged excellently with all in a friendly & welcoming manner.

Arkeologisen alueen opas 8 ja Fabio 10. Vähän kiireen tuntua Syracusassa, kaupungissa olisi voinut olla enemmän omaa aikaa.

Fabian ist an seinem 1.!!! Freien Tag seit 18.8. für seine Kollegin als Reiseleiter eingesprungen. Sie hatte von " Verzögerung " gesprochen und am Busbahnhof Recanati ohne weitere Erklärung oder auch Verabschiedung an Fabio übergeben. Dieser zeichnete sich durch sehr hohe fachliche Kompetenz, Organisatiobstalent, Leidenschaft für Geschichte und sein Land und Bemühen um sämtliche Gäste aus. In 4 Sprachen versorgte er teilweise gleichzeitig seine Gäste. Der Fahrer Roberto war ebenso top!!

The whole experience was a pleasure to partake in. The guides were well informed and had good methods of communication. We were in awe of Fabio our guide and his ability to flit between Italian, English and German whilst maintaining the nuances in all languages. The only minor blot eas the roadworks over which even Tui had no control.
