So many highlights: wildflowers everywhere, wonderful atmosphere and architecture on Ortigia, lovely and knowledgeable guide Eva, plus very helpful team at our hotel in Siracusa who helped us move to another hotel when the air conditioning failed. Giovanna from your Italian partner was also very supportive. Read full reviewReviewed on 19 May 2024 by Maria Liuzzi
