A truly amazing experience. I'm from Rome, so I know very well my Roman art, architecture, etc., nevertheless, these are the most incredible mosaics I've ever seen. Definitely a must-see, well-worth travelling to Sicily just for them.

Driver, Richard, was excellent. Pick up from cruise port was easy and on time, and drop off was comfortably before departure. I was worried, due to the length of the tour relative to our time in port, but our driver kept close watch on the time and ensured all went smoothly. The Villa has many steps up and down for the various sections, and the pathway is one direction and narrow. If you have mobility issues, like me, this is a bit challenging, but doable. Beautiful to see. The Valley of the Temples is incredible to see. Richard spoke with people there and arranged for a motorized wheelchair for my use! I was prepared to simply wait and see pictures that the rest of my family would take, but Richard made it possible for me to see the temples myself!!! Definitely above and beyond what we expected. I highly recommend this tour.

This MAY have been an enjoyable tour if the itinerary had been double checked by the driver's company, which was not aware or did not inform the driver that the Italian President was planning to host the German President at the Villa Romana that morning. The venue was closed until 1330, requiring a reroute to the Valley of Temples (abbreviated visit) and return to Villa Romana which was doubly crowded since it was closed in the morning. Driver Richard was great, although frustrated, and spoke English well. He collected us right on time at 0830, but our drop off was 1900 hours! Driver should have cold water in the vehicle, and advise tourists to order tickets in advance or while enroute, since the admission ticket purchase lines can be lengthy. I would not recommend this tour from Siracusa, as the distance adds 2 hours to the day, and because the Valley of Temples park offers little to no shade from the Sicilian heat.
