Overview

Live the experience: discover, explore and immerse yourself in the culture and history of unique places! My name is Marco Sanzaro and for over thirty years I have been working as a Tour Guide in Syracuse. The first in my city to offer real experiences to discover my territory.
We guide you on a journey through time, from ancient Greek and Roman civilizations to vibrant contemporary times, allowing you to touch, feel and experience history. We take you to visit the archaeological hub of the city: the Archaeological Park of Neapolis and the adjoining "Museo paolo Orsi, rich in artifacts from prehistoric times onwards. Our mission is to make you feel part of Sicily, not just visitors. We want every experience to be a personal enrichment, a moment of growth and deep connection with the place you visit. Experiential tourism in Sicily is a journey of the soul, an adventure that will change you leaving an indelible mark on the heart.
