We had a lovely, knowledgeable guide that walked us around the park - Eva. At the beginning of the tour she took us to a map of Siracusa & showed us the settlement & beginnings of the city, & then continued on to the park & explained the history of what we were seeing. She was really lovely & also really well informed. We had a brilliant day, and because of Eva, we also got to explore the Island of Ortigia - the original settlement of Siracusa.

Very informative walking tour of the park. Our guide Eva was so knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions. She was a delight and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the amazing park.

Our guide, Frank, was excellent. Very knowledgeable and personable. We felt as if a friend was showing us around. We'd recommend him to anyone.

We had the best tour guide to take us through the Neapolis Archeological Park. Federica was knowledgeable, entertaining and she really made our visit memorable. She even gave us great dining recommendations! We would highly recommend taking the tour with Federica as your guide.

It was a very interesting story throughout the park, and my family was very engaged with the historical details that the guide added.

Had an amazing tour of the Greek and Roman ruins. Cant imagine having done it without the expert knowledge of our guide Federica. We learned so much about the history - how it was all built, what it all meant at the time. Just an all around fantastic part of our vacation to Sicily. Highly recommend.

Eva was our tour guide and she is exceptional! Her length and breath of knowledge is endless. She can answer any question about Sicily history and the archaeological park. She is welcoming, knowledgeable and recommends great restaurants!! The tour is extremely interesting. Visiting the ancient ruins is a must. I highly recommend.

Good communication from Trip advisor and from Federica the guide as to where and when to meet. We had a very pleasant and informative 2 hours wandering around the neapolis and nearby roman theatre at our own pace with a very pleasant, knowledgeable and informative guide. Totally recommend.

We had a very enjoyable and informative tour with Anne Marie around the Neapolis Archaeological Zone. Firstly, Anne Marie helped us to park our car as we couldn’t find a space! The parking situation made us 30 minutes late but Anne Marie still gave us much more than the allotted time for our tour. We learned so much more about the site than we would have done if we had gone without a guide. It really made all the difference. I highly recommend this tour.
