A terrific day! Our guide Andrea was wonderfully articulate and knowledgeable about history, archaeology, art and architecture. He brought these outstanding historical sites to life with warmth and charm, and had really thoughtful, engaging answers to our questions about Sicily, past and present. I loved when he pointed out the storks’ nests. 100% recommended!

It was a good tour with lots of time on our own to explore. Our guide, Lory, was very knowledgeable and while she did translate between Italian and English well, I wouldn't recommend bilingual tours to others as there is a lot of talking required. Lory must have been exhausted as I was just listening to so much information, most of it in a language I didn't understand. Not her fault at all, just the nature of doubling up on two languages.

Guiseppe did a great job giving background and information on the places we visited and did a great job on the tour itself

Giuseppe our guide was fabulous. He explained all the important facts about each area we visited, provided information on Sicilian food and key products farmed in the areas we visited. We had plenty of time to look around at each of the 3 stops and had time for some lunch in Ortigia. Would highly recommend this tour to see the beautiful history and countryside of Sicily

The trip was great; even better than expected. Very much enjoyed the archeological site at Syracuse, visiting Ortigia and Noto. Especially liked the free time at each site. Our driver and tour guide, Guiseppe, was very professional, knowledgeable, and a great driver.
