You'll follow your guided around the streeets of Syracuse during a tour
This tour really shows of the city's mix of Greek, Roman and Baroque heritage
There's time for you to visit the largest Greek theatre in Sicily
The churches, palaces, castles and cathedral on the island of Ortygia are some of Sicily's finest
What to expect
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.

Reiseleitung wusste sehr viel und interessant. Auch zu sehen, wie die Felsen händisch herausgebrochen wurden. Im Park die Vegetation gut gemacht. Altstadtführung in der Mittagshitze bei 45 Grad einfach zu lange und zu viel - könnte man kürzer gestalten!

Gids erg kundig, chauffeur prima. Minibus had voor ons (lang, slank) weinig comfort. Zaten klem achterin aangezien busje ons als laatste ophaalde. Reis vrij lang, bijna 2 uur. Neapolis interessant maar erg warm. Tour had korter gekund. St Luciakerk was optioneel en goed qua tijd. Helaas erg weinig tijd om nog te lunchen en Syracuse te bezoeken maar 1 uur. Tip: kosten voor Neapolis bij excursieprijs optellen. Je hebt toch geen keuze. Dan rest je 2 uur wachten op een parkeerplaats buiten de stad

super leuke en ervaren gids. Heel vriendelijk en doe zijn best om ieder tevreden te stellen. Wij hadden deze gids ook voor de Godfather tour in Savoca en hoopte op dezelfde voor Syracuse. Zeker een aanrader. Enkel wat meer spenderen in Siracuse zelf ipv de ruines, dit was minder.

Not enough time in Saracusa then at the hottest part of the day the unesco heritage site perhaps better to have done this the other way around and a bit much to have to pay for the unesco site when we had already paid for the trip even though it was optional to go to the unesco site nobody is going to sit on a bus for around an hour and a half in the heat of the day if they don’t want to do the unesco site and perhaps a block booking by TUI once numbers are known to save time queuing

Great day out. Tour guide very informative. It was a very hot day but we had been advised to wear sensible foot wear and to bring a hat and sun team. So if you took the advice then it was ok.

Vind het jammer dat er meerdere mensen waren die enkel nederlands spreken en dat de uitleg in het engels en duits werd gedaan. Duitstaligen waren er 2 in de groep , belgen en nederlanders meer dan 10. Vind dat we door tui tekort zijn gedaan

Fantastische gids Salvina, die heel duidelijk Engels en Duits sprak. Gaf heel veel info op de bus waardoor de langere rit sneller vooruit ging. Steeds beschikbaar voor extra vragen en veel info in het oude stadsgedeelte en op de historische site. Jammer dat het Griekse theater overbouwd was voor evenementen tijdens de zomermaanden waardoor we het niet in zijn echte glorie konden bewonderen. Zou wel handig geweest zijn vooraf te weten. Pluspunt expositie van Mitoraj paste perfect op de site!

Jammer dat je nadat je 100 euro hebt betaald ook nog tijdens de tour moet betalen om bepaalde bezichtigingen te zien.
