Beautiful experience - An experience not to be missed if you are in Syracuse.. we chose the two-hour tour, sea caves, Pillorina and Ortigia.. a truly evocative tour, seeing Ortigia from another perspective and discovering the history of Syracuse and some legends that make it magical. Very knowledgeable staff in both Italian and English, all very kind and professional😍
