Great tour by Giuseppe!

Published on Dec, 2024

This was a great tour given by Giuseppe plus he was very knowledgeable of the area. I would recommend this tour especially if youā€™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

Published on Dec, 2024

We had a wonderful day exploring Noto and Ortigia on a private tour from Catania. Our driver, Martino, was absolutely excellentā€”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 insteadā€”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 Ortigiaā€™s streets and waterfront. A suggestion for fellow travelers: check the opening times of attractions, especially if traveling in the off-season.

Noto

Perfect day trip from Taormina. Guisseppe was our personal driver and amazing. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic tour

Published on Nov, 2024

Our experience on this tour was fantastic. MARTINO picked us up at our hotel at the appointed time and our journey began in Noto. MARTINO explained the history of Noto walked with us and pointed out places of interest explaining the architecture. He walked with us a little further to point out another church and then agreed to meet in an hour where he dropped us off. Our next stop was the archeological park in Siracusa. Again, MARTINO explained everything to us walked us to the entrance and made sure we knew where to purchase the tickets. The archaeological park is beautiful and it it is well planned with explanations in English. We spent under 2 hours walking the site and thoroughly enjoyed the beauty and serenity of the park. We met with MARTINO again and then he took us into Ortigia. He suggested sites and areas to have lunch. Ortigia is very pretty and we decided on a cafe across from the Cathedral. We ordered pizza which was delicious. If you decide to take this tour and you can request a driver and guide it should be MARTINO. He was excellent and made this tour very personal for us. He is professional, friendly , knowledgeable and a very safe driver. We enjoyed the entire day and feel so much of our wonderful experience was because of MARTINO.

Great trip to Noto and Siracusa

Published on Nov, 2024

Great day trip to Noto and Siracusa. Very informative and a great driver. Traffic was pretty heavy both going south and our return, but our driver did a great job. He had great knowledge about Noto and also about what to see in both Noto and the archaeological park in Siracusa - and also where to eat and see (definitely the Duomo Piazza) on the island of Ortygia. Highly recommended.
