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.

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

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 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.

I would highly recommend this trip. The locations were spectacular and very interesting. The architecture was exceptional. The transport was very comfortable and clean, and we couldn’t have wished for a better driver in Martino, who was very friendly and informative and helped make for a very memorable occasion.

Our guide, Martino, was so kind, personable and knowledgeable. He spoke English so well and gave us great information, accompanying us at the beginning of each stop. We highly recommend you ask for him as your driver. This was a great tour and memorable day!

This is our 2nd private tour. Our tour guide Martino showed on time with nice and clean car. Martino is very polite, thoughtful, and helpful. We like him and we enjoyed the whole tour very much.
Andy_B, Sept 2024
Our driver, Martino, was delightful with perfect English. He was punctual, patient and thoughtful.
Notto is well worth a morning’s visit but the stars are Ortigia and Syracuse. We suggest a two day stay in Ortigia.
Nick_S, Aug 2024
The beauty and charm of Ortigia and Noto were magnificent. Our private driver Martino was amazing! He was very helpful and accommodating. His knowledge of the area was great as it provided us with some background of the regions which helped us appreciate it a lot more. Would highly recommend this excursion.

The Architectural park was interesting in Siracusa. Late July is very hot. We tagged on a trip before a wedding in Palermo but I would avoid July and August.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you for your review, but here you have to give an evaluation of our service, not of the climate!
we cannot have control over the climate, temperatures etc.
Please, cancel this review and write a new one evaluating only our service.
Thank you in advance!
