It was a lovely and interesting tour with a really nice guide. The only thing which could have improved it for us was a little bit more time in Syracuse. We like to explore and take lots of photos and by the time we did that the free time was up. Would have been great to have had another hour to sit with a coffee and enjoy the scenery.

It would be nice to have an extra 30 - 60 mins in Ortygia at the end to enable us to have a leisurely meal and take photos rather than opting for only a meal or only photos

From joining the coach we felt as if we were an inconvenience and it all was done at a rushed paced with no thought for the elderly and immobile . The guide wasn’t approachable and had no people skills and displayed her frustration in front of us several times we just couldn’t wait to get back to Taormina and the trip to be over

Pracht tour,goede gids. Beter:Airco in bus ,was wel beloofd. Meer info vooraf bv over contact geld mee om ticket aankoop te versnellen ,nog beter tickets bij bedrag van excursie inbegrepen laten zijn. Nu erg lang wachten voor ticket aankoop ,zonde van de tijd. Verder erge lange tijd door afzetten van alle mensen op verschillende plekken. Uiteindelijk te weinig tijd om in de stad zelf door te brengen.
