Overview

Today 8.30am be ready at pick-up location to meet our driver and departure from Siracusa in direction of Ragusa Ibla. You have the chance to explore independently the old part of the city and an undisputed reality of Baroque art. Soon after, you will discover the local Chocolate in Modica. This particular chocolate is made with a very old recipe, the one coming from the Aztecs. We then continue to Noto. In the Arab period the town was the capital of one of the three districts of Sicily (the Val di Noto) and once defeated by the Christians, Noto became a rich Norman city. Unfortunately, it was totally destroyed by the 1693 Sicilian earthquake and rebuilt in a new position nearer to the Ionian Sea. But the new Noto is a masterpiece of Sicilian Baroque! Later we return to Siracusa (estimated arrival time h 4pm) Guaranteed departure with minimum 2 travelers

Fantastic tour. Great...

Published on Dec, 2024

Fantastic tour. Great driver and some must see cities from Siracusa. Flexibility to do what you want in the cities

A memorable trip to Sicily

Published on Sep, 2024

The trip was excellent. All went perfectly and all drivers and tours were beautifully organized. Our last trip (Ragusa, Modica and Noto) with Francesco was outstanding, we never felt rushed and we had plenty of time to enjoy each stop. He was also a fount of both local and historical information and didn’t overwhelm us with the amount of historical information.

Great Sicilian baroque and chocolate sampling!

Published on Sep, 2024

We truly appreciated Mattia who was our excellent driver and who also told us about the areas we were visiting. The scenery around the three baroque cities, Ragusa, Modica and Noto, was beautiful. We walked around Ragusa for a couple of hours and followed the recommendations from our guide book. We finished at the Botanical Garden and got to enjoy the fragrant roses. Then we were off to Modica where we visited the gorgeous cathedral and took in the amazing view below it. Next we were off to the oldest chocolate factory which was across the street for a tasting. Our last stop on the tour, Noto, was the town we enjoyed the most. This little town is the smallest of the three we visited and it’s quite a gem. It was not crowded, and because we could not resist going into an art exhibit, we could easily have spent more time in Noto. If we were to take the tour again we may suggest to the driver to spend a little less time in Ragusa and Modica so we could really explore Noto. But, which city appeals most can certainly be personal, so some research and pre-planning for how you want to use your time is recommended. Overall, we had a fabulous day!

Lovely visit to Ragusa, Modica and Noto!

Published on Sep, 2024

What a wonderful day with Francesco our driver to Ragusa, Noto and Modica. Francesco know all there is to know to plan for a terrific day. He brought us to a lovely Wine Bistro for lunch in Noto after visiting Ragusa and Modica for a delicious chocolate tasting experience. When we arrived in Ragusa he took us to a lovely Cafe where he treated us to refreshing Granitas and pastry. He is the best!

Best Sicilian Day Trip with Michele

Published on Jun, 2024

My wife and I did a day trip with Tour of Sicily from Ortigia to Ragusa, Modica and Noto. We highly recommend Michele, who was our driver, as he turned up on time, was very friendly and knowledgeable and made us Australians feel comfortable while exploring fabulous Sicily. We loved how many places he recommended for us, including the best chocolate in Modica, the yummiest granita in Noto, a fantastic wine (his favourite), a delicious local Sicilian lunch and numerous historical sites. His knowledge of Sicily amazed us and his relaxed nature made our day trip truly memorable. Thank you Tour of Sicily and thank you our friend Michele.
