Wonderful Tour - This tour was wonderful and our tour guide Gianmarco, was exceptional! He answered all of our questions and provided so much important detail regarding the culture and the sites that we were seeing. We were all very pleased. Word of warning: we took this tour at the beginning of March and there were several places that were still closed for the winter.

Informative and enjoyable - Walking through the small quiet town of Noto was the highlight of the day. Also, our guide was very informative, especially while walking through Ortigia. He also recommended a very good place for lunch.

Excellent tour - Alessio was a fabulous guide! He shared so much knowledge with us! Our favorite part of the tour was Ortigia! I would have given up seeing Noto in order to spend more time exploring Ortigia!

Great punctual trip - This is a great trip. Carmelo was on time and picked us from our hotel in a comfortable Mercedes van. The whole group was 6 persons only so it wasn’t crowded which I liked a lot. We went to Noto first and I enjoyed the scenes and narrow streets iof Noto. I also bought delicious pistachio cream from there. After spending 1:30 hours which was more than enough, we went to Siracusa where we enjoyed a stroll in the archaeological park. After which we sent to Ortigia and had lunch there. The only thing that I didn’t like is that we received little to no explanation. I thought this was a guided tour but unfortunately we were not offered enough information by Carmelo and were left to wander on our own most of the time.

Good tour, friendly guide. No information en route nor at sights - The Neapolis at Siracusa was amazing. The markets and seafront lunch in Ortigia were fantastic and the baroque churches in Noto were superb.
