Things to do in Sicily

We had a lovely overall snorkelling trip. There were a few things that could have been a little better. We didnt get any instruction on how to snorkel, we just put it on and were expected to know what to do. Luckily we'd done it once before but some guidance would have been good. We were hoping to be able to use the full face masks as seen in the photos but thry didnt supply these which was disappointing. While our guide was a really lovely lady, her English was very limited so it made the experience less interactive. This was after us booking an English speaking guide. Despite these small issues, we did have a nice snorkelling trip seeing lots of fish and being guided into pretty caves.

We arrived at the Hadrian’s Arch at 8:15. There was no signage and no one there. . Some people suggested that we walk to the Temple of Olympian Zeus entrance, but it seemed that none of them had any idea about this tour because it’s private tour. So we went back to Hadrian’s Arch around 8:30, and Alexandra was waiting there with another visitor. Alexandra is an archaeologist, and she can beautifully link legends with history. Her explanations were interesting, with clear timelines and drawings. I felt like I was time-traveling back to Ancient Greece.The tour took about 4.5 hours, but we were not tired. We enjoyed the scenery, the Parthenon, and the stories and history. Alexandra was able to answer many questions from my teenage daughter, who loves Greek mythology. It is really worth going with a tour guide. Without her, we may not have known what we were seeing. If you are planning to visit the Ancient Agora to see the Temple of Hephaestus, you will need to buy another ticket.

Just so others are aware, the pick up point ended up being on the west side of the roundabout, not exactly where google maps leads you. Our guide Mickey was a lot of fun! Unfortunately there was some rain during our hike but we made the most of it and it was still a beautiful sight. I can only imagine what the scenery is like when it's clear. My only regret is that I wish I did a sunset tour instead but that probably would've been cloudy/rainy too given my luck 😅

Absolutely the best experience ever! We enjoyed the tour and our guide was amazing. He shared a lot of great information about the craters and answered a our questions. Also we had an amazing tasting time with our group guests. All delicious Sicilian food !!! Thank you for the mesmerising time together!
