Overview

We will spend a couple of hours together discovering the wonders of Ortigia. You will really visit the area with a local guide that grew up here and have learnt directly from her grandmother the secrets and stories of these places. My father is a Tour guide too and he was born in Ortigia so i have a deep connection with this island.
