Amazing walking tour of Ortigia with a true local

Published on Nov, 2024

We had the pleasure of touring Ortigia with the most wonderful guide, Biagio Giaccone through Prestelli tours. Prestelli were very easy and flexible to work with. Biagio was incredibly knowledgable, informative, interesting and fun. He was such a pleasure to spend time with provided an insiders perspective to the beautiful and rich history, culture, and charm of Ortigia.

Archeology, History, Food, Shopping, AND A Driver...A GREAT DAY!

Published on Sep, 2024

Corrado was a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide! He made the day interesting and enjoyable for all six of us, ages 61 to 74. The restaurant chosen for this tour is a very popular one for locals - always a good sign. It was busy but both the food and service were wonderful! I would recommend this tour to anyone!

An excellent tour in Siracusa with a super guide

Published on Nov, 2023

Biagio was not only a driver and guide, but also an incredible wealth of knowledge about the history of Siracusa and Sicily's relationship to the world. Biagio's explanations at the Greek archeological site made viewing the ruins come alive regarding the construction and uses of the various structures there. One particular highlight was in the Ear of Dyonisius cave. In a strong and well pitched baritone, he sang Italian, French, and Spanish songs the echoes were incredible. After our visit to Greek archeological site, we then went to Ortigia island. Because Biagio has been a life long inhabitant of Ortigia, not only did he show us the major sites on the island, but also the curious or hidden beauty places on the island. As part of the tour, Biagio took us to the restaurant Tempio di Athena where we had an excellent luncheon together. After the tour, my wife and I agreed that we were extremely fortunate to meet Biagio who is a gentleman and a warm, friendly person. We highly recommend this tour.
