Sensational!!! - Vincenzo is very personable and showed us Ortigia with all her facets. In addition to the great places, he was able to tell us a lot about the story. Eir had already done the tour with the Calessino a few years ago and did not even receive half of the information. If you're Ortigia, make sure to plan a one-hour tour with Vincenzo.

Tour was good but expensive - The pickup for this tour is in Siracusa, quite the walk if you're staying at the far end of Ortigia. There are many other tuk-tuk tours on Ortigia

Fun time - Good way to see a lot of spots, especially with the intense daytime heat. The tour guide didn’t really speak any English- which was a little disappointing- as he seemed like a lot of fun- and while he used a translation speaking app- it sometimes fell flat. We still enjoyed ourselves and I used my phone to text a few questions into Italian which was ok. The Tuk-Tuk was cute and boy the navigate tight spaces. Ours seemed like it was on its last legs compared to some of the others we saw driving around- lots of smoke each time it started. Overall fun, value was 8/10.

We were a family of 5 and... - We were a family of 5 and had to reserve 2 tuk tuks. They stayed together, which was nice, but our guides spoke very little English. We were shown different areas and still we walked away not knowing anything more than when we started. We still enjoyed the sights but it was a lot of $$$$ to not be able to communicate and ask questions.
