A relaxed day out - Our driver Francesco was very professional and great driver. There were 3 of us on the tour so we were able to negotiate time spent in each of Noto, Monica and Ragusa within the time allowed for the tour. I think the fact that it was more or less a do it yourself tour was good as you could decide how to best use your time

Trip from syracusa - Great trip. Francesco was very accommodating about spending a little more time in Ragusa and having lunch there instead of Modica. Communication was fabulous with 3rd party in Syracusa, Sicilian Tours. Can highly recommend. Used Viatours in Venice last year. It also worked really well.

Great way to see some beautiful towns! - This was a great experience. Our driver Francesco was pleasant and drove us carefully to each town. The car was very comfortable. I didn’t feel rushed and was able to take my time and explore each town on my own. The tour operators were communicative in good time about any changes even before the tour. An overall good experience and I definitely recommend it!

If you don’t need a guide this is an economical & great way to see Ragusa, Modica & Noto without a car. 👍⭐️ - The tour was excellent! Ilonda, the owner of the company was so friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. She provided maps for each location and good suggestions. Francesco, the driver was friendly, capable & reliable. He dropped us off and picked us up at convenient places always on time. The vehicle was lovely, new and spotless! Ragusa & Modica are inconvenient to reach by public transportation so this tour offers a great alternate way to visit them if you don’t have a car . If you don’t require a guide, I highly recommend this tour.

Beautiful Baroque tour - Beautiful tour and super professional staff, they assisted us impeccably from the first phone call. The tour allowed us to visit the beautiful cities of Noto, Ragusa Ibla and Modica in complete comfort. The driver was very helpful and pleasant. I also recommend doing a chocolate tasting in Modica, a great experience. Thanks again to all the staff.

Perfect if you want to explore on your own. - Really great way to see these three towns if you’re staying in Siracusa or Ortigia. It’s just the transportation and you get an allotted time in each town. I much prefer this than having to follow a bunch of strangers.

Nice day trip - Stopping for a Birds Eye view of Modica was incredible. Seeing all three towns was nice. The trip was a bit rushed because we went to three places. Nice to have a driver but would probably rent a car next time.

Okay trip - Should have been more time in Ragusa and Modica, and less time in Noto. It was fine but not more than okay.
