Off the beaten track, not too much time travelling and a great guide - Such a positive and informative guide (Gianmarco), full of enthusiasm for his beautiful country. It was really good to get a bit off the tourist trail and be able to chat to the guide about living in Sicily. The three villages are a must. Beautifully coloured sandstone, ornate churches, quaint streets and so much more. Modica included a chocolate tasting with no pressure to buy. Then we stopped in Modica again for a short lunch in a small cafe on the Main Street. Gianmarco introduced us to some authentic Sicilian food - a bit like a folded pizza but made with a bread recipe and only a couple of Euros each. Noto was the last stop and probably the highlight. Larger than the other two towns it is very elegant. Gianmarco gave us some free time here too which was great.

Awesome visits! - Great excursion! You get to see three great locations in one trip. You don’t bother with traffic or parking, and you have a very knowledge guide who provides explanations and answers to all your questions. Definitly a must when visiting east Sicily.

Bucket list tour in Catania! - Absolutely recommendable experience for travellers on a tight travel schedule who are dependant on public transportation and don't want to miss out on neither Noto,nor Modica or Ragusa!! Allesio picked us up right on time at the hotel and fluent in English, elaborated patiently on every single cultural and historical question throughout the day. Professional,educational,safe,reliable,informative and utterly pleasant! In brief,highly recommendable!

Small group tour - This was a great day tour. Rustian, our driver would give us the highlights of each town and then we had time to explore on our own. This was a perfect way to see these towns. Being in a small group, Rustian was able to answer our questions and suit the tour for us.

Great day trip with Sandra - My wife and I spent a day with Sandra our guide and driver for the tour of east Siciliy’s three hilltop baroque jewels - Ragusa, Monica and Noto. Sandra was a safe driver and informative guide, and she never made us feel rushed. We enjoyed the day very much.

Noto worth to stay longer - Noto is really worth to visit, as many baroco buildings n catherdrals over there. Time may be a bit rush in Noto, can make it staying longer, as Modica, Ragusa not too many items to see.

Beautiful Landscapes & Old Cities - Marco is a very likable person, courteous, attentive, and punctual, but not as knowledgeable as many guides we’ve had. He was a good driver & dropped us in convenient spots for walking & climbing stairs. However, the van was in a state of disrepair and dirty - especially the windows. The 3 cities Ragusa, Modica & Noto are definitely worth seeing. The roads are very windy w spectacular views of the landscapes.
