This is a wonderful tour.... - This is a wonderful tour. Our driver Martino couldn't have been more helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. He treated us like family. He pointed out the significant points of interest in Syracusa, Noto and Ortigia and gave us plenty of time to enjoy them on our own. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone!

Giuseppe was our guide... - Giuseppe was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and very friendly. He explained what we were seeing and spoke good English. This is not a fully guided tour he drives you and gives you some history and you do some of your own exploring. This was a perfect tour for us and I would highly recommend.

Great tour by Giuseppe! - This was a great tour given by Giuseppe plus he was very knowledgeable of the area. I would recommend this tour especially if you’re just looking for something easy to do - not a lot of walking. Walking and time at each place will be up to you.

Wonderful Noto-Ortigia Tour from Catania - We had a wonderful day exploring Noto and Ortigia on a private tour from Catania. Our driver, Martino, was absolutely excellent—professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience, sharing fascinating insights and adjusting the itinerary to suit our needs. Unfortunately, the archaeological park in Siracusa was closed due to its switch to the winter timetable, which was disappointing. However, Martino quickly adapted, bringing us to the San Giovanni catacombs instead—a fascinating and stop we enjoyed. The gorgeous weather was the cherry on top, allowing us to fully appreciate the stunning Baroque architecture of Noto and the charm of Ortigia’s streets and waterfront. A suggestion for fellow travelers: check the opening times of attractions, especially if traveling in the off-season.

This is not a tour - Beware this is NOT a tour it is a cab ride to each town. You then will self guide yourself the rest of the way. That being said our DRIVER was great very professional. Along the ride he gave us some info. My wife and I enjoy wondering around towns and discovering what they have to offer. So this worked out for us. But I can't get past how much a ride costed us. $$$.
