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.
