“la visite est parfaite. a faire au coucher du soleil magnifique. cependant l audioguide n est pas top. 1es explication par temple ne dure qu une minute du mal a trouver la position exacte sur le site. et comme l appli est sur le téléphone, quand on prend des photo il faut se remettre sur l appli.... donc je recommande cette visite bien sûr mais sans l audioguide un manuel a vendre a l entrée est presque mieux”

“Great! We were able to visit Taormina in the best possible conditions thanks to the audio guide. You did not visit everything because 3 places are a little far on foot (20-25 min) but taking our time and reading all the reviews we still took 3h30 without visiting the ancient theater. We have learned a lot, I recommend 200%, all tourist cities should offer this kind of tourAuto-translated”
