“Unfortunately, our experience with the Syracuse and Ortygia Tuk-Tuk 2-Hour Tour was disappointing. The guide did not speak English at all and tried using Google Translate, but the audio kept breaking up every 30 seconds, making it very difficult to follow. The itinerary was not completed as promised, and when we asked about visiting the Jewish Quarter (which was included in the tour description), the guide suggested we pay for an extra hour. This was not what we expected and felt unprofessional.”
