Fantastic day! - We had a wonderful day with our guide Carmelo. We absolutely loved our time in all three towns, where we had the perfect amount of time to explore. In each town, Carmelo pointed us in the right direction of the main attractions and made other suggestions for things to see or do. We loved our day!

An Unforgettable Baroque Tour with Peter! - Our tour to Noto, Modica, and Ragusa from Catania was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Sicily, and that was largely thanks to our incredible guide, Peter.
From the moment we were picked up, Peter made the day enjoyable, informative, and completely stress-free. His passion for Sicilian history, culture, and architecture brought each destination to life in a way that guidebooks simply cannot. He shared fascinating stories and local insights that gave us a much deeper appreciation for these beautiful Baroque cities.
Noto was breathtaking, with its stunning golden-hued architecture and elegant streets. Peter expertly explained the city's history and pointed out details we would have otherwise missed. In Modica, we not only admired the spectacular scenery and architecture but also learned about its famous chocolate-making tradition. Ragusa was equally enchanting, with its dramatic setting and charming historic center offering some of the most memorable views of the day.
What truly set this tour apart was Peter himself. He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing his love for Sicily. He struck the perfect balance between guided commentary and allowing us time to explore on our own. His recommendations for local food, photo spots, and hidden gems were excellent and greatly enhanced our experience.
If you're considering the Baroque Tour from Catania, do not hesitate. The combination of these magnificent UNESCO-listed towns and Peter's outstanding guidance makes for an exceptional day. We left with wonderful memories, beautiful photos, and a much deeper appreciation for Sicily's rich heritage.
Highly recommended. Thank you, Peter, for an amazing and unforgettable experience! 🇮🇹✨

Super journey into Sicilian Baroque - Beautiful excursion to admire the Baroque of Ragusa, Modica and Noto. Excellent and punctual meeting in Catania, perfect trip, in Mercedes, masterfully orchestrated by Peter who made us befriend two Americans and an Irishman. We learned a lot from talking with Peter during the trip, hiking and lunch in Modica. Then a sweet interlude with Modica chocolate.
Beautiful experience to recommend great.

Tour of Baroque architecture - The itinerary was 1 hour free of Ragusa, 1 hour 30 minutes free of Modica and 1 hour free of notes. Only two people participated in the off-season, but they ran the tour without cancellation. They stopped at a photo spot and gave me some advice from a souvenir shop, which was very helpful. It is comfortable with few tourists in winter, but be careful as shops may be closed.

꼭 투어로 다녀오세요 - 카타니아에서 출발해서 라구사 모디카 노토를 하루에 다녀오는 바로크 투어를 했습니다. 대중교통을 이용했다면 하루에 다녀올 수 없는 일정이고 자동차 렌트를 해서 직접 운전했다면 도시 안에 들어가서 좁고 가파른 길에 난감했을 것입니다. 투어로 갈만한 가치가 있습니다. 피터 가이드는 배려심 깊고 편안하게 대해주며 시칠리아에 대해 많은 이야기를 해주었습니다. 좋은 가이드를 만나 여행이 더욱 즐거웠습니다.
I joined a Baroque tour covering Ragusa, Modica, and Noto from Catania in one day. This itinerary would have been impossible by public transportation, and driving myself would have been challenging due to narrow, steep streets in each city. The tour was definitely worthwhile. Peter, our guide, was considerate and made us feel at ease, sharing many interesting stories about Sicily. Meeting such a great guide made the trip even more enjoyable

Great tour! - Great tour! This is an ideal tour for visitors with time constraints. The excellent tour combines Regusa, Medica and Noto. The guide is an expert in baroque architecture and points out things of special interest. Medica is famous for it's chocolate, you can also try some these.

Fine tour if you want a... - Fine tour if you want a good driver to all the cities. Nice person but not much of a tour guide in each of the towns. The Lunch place he took us to was cheap but very mediocre and the chocolate tasting was just a chocolate store, not a factory as mentioned in the description. He didn’t even mention the chocolate museum just down the block. Overall, pricey for what we got out of it which was a chauffeured vehicle through the region.
