“Our guide, Danilo, was great fun- informative, friendly and considerate of our wishes. We saw far more of Ortigia than we expected from the tour information and had a lot of laughs in the process. It poured with rain, so it was a great way to spend 90 minutes- altho we did still get a bit wet! Danilo took us to all the main sights but it was the back streets and back chat - not to mention the singing, that made it so memorable. As a person with mobility issues. Danilo could not have been more helpful and even dropped us back off at our car. An excellent afternoon!”
