Truly personal experience - We had an excellent experience with Andrea, who was a knowledgeable and personable guide. The tour was worth every penny. We learned a lot not only about the places we went to visit, but also about Sicily, and Sicilian customs. We never felt rushed. There were lots of laughs. Simply a fun and memorable day. Thank you Andrea for feeling like spending time with a friend. Highly recommended.

Excellent day trip! - This was a wonderful day! Nando was our tour guide and he did an excellent job. He was very organized, informative, and helpful. Additionally, the sites were all fantastic! Oritga was maybe my favorite, but Siracusa and Noto were also incredible. In sum, an incredible day, from start to finish. Highly, highly recommended!

Fun trip and great guide! - The Syracuse, Ortigia and Noto walking tour was a fun trip. The historical aspect is significant and the boat tour was refreshing., especially if you jumped into the water. My wife really liked Noto. Lory, our guide, was awesome. She was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend her! I would recommend this trip.

Beautiful day through Syracuse, Ortigia and Noto - Lory was a wonderful guide and host for this tour of Syracuses & Noto. The historic sites of Syracuse are not to be missed. Lory offered an additional option to tour the perimeter of Syracuse and Ortigia vis boat. A must do! Visited grottos and had a perspective of Syracuse not seen from land. The trip to Noto was a perfect end to the day. Thank you Lory for a wonderful day!

Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide - Friendly and knowledgeable guide who knew a lot about what we saw. We had booked an English tour, but it turned out that there was an Italian couple there so that everything was first told in one language and then again in the other language. This took the pace out of the tour somewhat, this was a shame

A little disappointed! - I imagined a super romantic city from the song; I discovered Syracuse , The Island of Ortigia and I was disappointed! Beautiful monuments like Italy or Sicily offer us but a dirty city! we see that this side of Sicily is poor; magnificent houses fall into decay.
Disappointed to see that the castle is closed on Sunday afternoon while there are still crowds.
Unwelcome at Leonardo da Vinci's museum . I'm quite a good audience , but there, maybe it was the end of the season? Oct 24!

Walk along the historic alleys. - Recommendation to visit the cathedral and library located in the vicinity of ortigia. Beautiful castle on the tip of the island. If you visit Ortigia pay car park near the marina area.
