Incontra Montalbano! Tour FD da Siracusa a Ragusa, Modica e Scicli

Es una experiencia hermosa, tal como lo soñamos. La conductora espectacular, muy puntual, respetuosa, muy preparada y buena onda.

This tour was the worst tour we’ve ever taken in years of international travel. It was NOT as advertised, a tour devoted to Montalbano, but rather a tour of endless churches in three cities with an occasional mention of Montalbano. The guide, who seemed a lovely person, was not fluent at all in English (our tour was advertised as an English tour), nor in French, to the dismay of a French couple who clearly had signed up for a tour in French. Of the six couples on the tour (4 of whom were Italian), only we seemed to think it was going to be a Montalbano-based tour. The guide recited dates and architects as we went along but gave no commentary or context otherwise. During the very lengthy bus rides between towns she chatted in Italian with the Italian tourists but otherwise gave no information as we rode along endlessly. My impression is that the tour operator cobbled together a general tour covering Ragusa, Modica and Scicli with our supposed “Meet Montalbano!” Tour. Last but not least, the tour lasted not the 8 hours as advertised but over 11 hours. It was a total waste of our time and a complete disappointment. My husband suggests that we be refunded our money given that the tour we received in no way met the description of the tour we paid for.

Everything was perfect. Modica, Ragusa and Scicly are beutiful historical towns which are worth visiting. The guide was qualified and funny.

One of the best days out I have ever had. My wife and me are mega fans of Montalbano and we were not disappointed. The three beautiful towns of Radusa, Monica and Scicli plus Punta Secca, where Montalbano’s home was set. Our guide, Paulo was a very friendly and knowledgeable man. I think he was surprised to find that the only UK people on the trip were the show’ biggest fans. As well as focusing on filming locations, we were shown the incredible architecture, inside and out of the cathedrals in these stunning towns. It was a blistering hot Sicilian day and the beach outside Montalbano’s house was packed! Unlike in the show where it’s only ever him. All credit to Paulo the guide, Roberto the driver and Viator the company.

We enjoyed this tour. Our driver Damiano was excellent with a comfortable and clean minivan. In Ragusa, Marco gave a very thorough and knowledgeable tour. There is a two hour break for lunch, and Marco recommended a restaurant that we really enjoyed. In Modica, Eleonora was a delightful tour guide. We had no idea the history of Modica was so fascinating. The chocolate tasting was very good, and the shop is a good place to buy gifts. We toured the police office in Scicli where Montalbano was filmed, and that was a highlight. Throughout the tour there were references to Montalbano TV shows.

The Town Hall/Police station in Scicli. Fun tour with Catarella taking us round. Impromptu Street food Lunch in Modica. A great guide
