My name is Fausto and I am an authorized tour guide of the Sicily Region. I live in Syracuse, one of the most beautiful cities in the Mediterranean, where history, natural beauty and unique monuments in the world are intertwined. There is nothing more beautiful for me than to tell its thousand-year history to visitors, revealing its secrets and its beauty.

Verry disapointed, at first the tour was not confirmed for over a week and guide was not responding to the messages. Then in the evening before the tour, he has send message to reschedule the tour for one day later. And finally on the day of the tour he did cancel it at all. Definatelly not recomended, don’t waste your time as other party does not respect your plans
