If you come from cruise, don't book from this website. They will still charge you in full, even you inform them the cruise ship cancel the docking cause of the weather conditions. Sure they 24hrs hours cancellation policy. But the cruse docking can not be sure even it is went to the last minute. This time I got inform by the captain of the cruise ship in the evening, so I contact this operator right away to cancel the next day tour. They insisted that is in 24hrs can not cancel the tour. So they just got the easy money with no any service provided! I wrote here, hope you will not get into the same situation.

We visited the area off season and booked this tour to see Siracusa, Ortigia and Noto. There was a small mistake made in the beginning with the booking information on the wrong date, but we call Catania Taxi service who ran this tour and they immediately found a driver and got us going on the tour. (About 1 hour later) however ... Rick was our driver was great and made sure we were not short changed because of their small mistake. I mentioned the mistake just to acknowledge it but it was surely made up for. We went to all three of the locations for the designated times which was about 2 hours per stop. It was a great tour but off season it should be noted that some of the sites are not fully open. We toured ruins in Siracusa and a Castle in Ortigia that were not open which was no fault of the tour. I would definitely recommend this tour and the Catania Taxi service.

Our guide, Martino, went above and beyond to show us the sites in Noto, Siracusa and Ortigia. He stopped at scenic points and got great photos of our family. He was very accommodating, funny and informative. Taxi Catania was very responsive in our trip planning. I highly recommend them!

Martino made the trip! Outstanding service, knowledge and an absolute pleasure. Almost 100 degrees and each time we had to move from place to place he made sure to go ahead and cool the car for us-shared all the knowledge of the area and was an engaging personality

Our driver Ricardo was excellent. He was a safe and attentive guide: nothing was a problem for him. He spoke not too little and not too much and was very flexible in providing options on all the places we stopped at.
