We and another English-speaking couple were piggy-backed onto a tour of 40 Italian-speaking tourists and the guide could not keep everyone's attention when speaking at considerable length in the other language. This was at least partly because he had difficulty being heard by such a large group with no audio devices or other audio assistance; and once he gave his site description immediately in front of a musician playing an amplified electric guitar, so we could barely hear at all. On the way back, a missed head count resulted in having to go back to pick up 2 tourists who had not made it on to the bus, and we ended up arriving back at our hotel after 8 pm rather than at the scheduled arrival time of 6:30 pm.

Our guide Franco was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned about the history and culture of Noto. Climbing the bell tower gave a beautiful view.

Poor information on pick-up location. After over an hour standing by roadside, 8:00-9:30am, tour was cancelled with no explanation. A replacement pm tour was arranged without compensation. Will not use Wellsicily or Scarletworld.

It was a great trip for a half day. Thoroughly enjoyed. Would recommend it to friends and family. Lovely Baroque buildings all in the same place, walking diwn the main street feels like going back in time.

Ottima Uscita , servizio celere ed accogliente.. complimenti alla guida molta chiara e simpatica, che ci ha fatto vedere e spiegato il meglio di Noto

Alessandro_P

Avevamo qualche timore, ma abbiamo dovuto ricrederci. Addirittura, la nostra guida è venuta a prelevarci personalmente al nostro albergo per farci aggregare al gruppo in visita. La guida è stata eccellente nell'illustrarci Noto, i suoi segreti e il suo stile architettonico. Assolutamente, da provare!
