This tour met our needs perfectly. It goes to the three cities but with no guided tours. The driver though was very helpful and provided us with useful information.
We spent a wonderful day between Ragusa, Modica, and Noto. Well-organized tour and wonderful places. Luca, our driver, contributed to providing us with an authentic experience, sharing stories about Sicilian life and history. Highly recommended tour!
Luca, our driver and guide, brought these beautiful Baroque cities to life with his love of these places and people. The Baroque architecture is amazing and the countryside drive is stunning. He is an excellent driver and is knowledgeable about the foods and experiences of each town. Luca helped us feel better about Sicily in Travel. I was not happy that I had booked and paid for this trip months in advance. A few days before, they changed the date and meeting place; I do not expect this to happen with a tour. That is an organizational issue that needs to be addressed. But make sure that you keep Luca. He is the reason I gave this a 5 star review. Take this tour and ask that Luca lead it. It was one of our best days in this beautiful island of Sicily.
Hello and thank you for sharing your feedback and for the 5-star review. We are glad Luca made your day in Sicily so special, and we will definitely pass your wonderful compliments on to him. Regarding the organization, we would like to clarify how our agency operates. There was no disorganization involved, but rather the standard application of our terms and conditions: Date Change: As stated during the booking process, our tours require a minimum of 4 participants to run. To ensure our guests don't miss out, we always try to find the best possible solution to keep the tour active, which is why we kindly asked if you could switch dates. Nothing was forced. Meeting Place: Our terms clearly specify that the initial meeting point is indicative. We always send the exact, definitive location the day before the tour, which in your case was less than a 5-minute walk from the first one. We implement these procedures solely to guarantee the best service while adapting to essential logistics. Thank you again for highly recommending Luca, and we are happy that, in the end, you had a great experience with us. Best regards,
I have just had the most AMAZING day thanks to Sicily in Travel Their care, communication, explanations, and dedication to offering the best service was OUTSTANDING! Luca our driver was friendly, fun, communicative, a font of knowledge and was very passionate about his Love for his country. Not to mention Handsome 🤣 We were given ample time in all three towns with audio information in the very comfortable van, plus Luca explained more when we got to each town It was a really Impressive day visiting Impressive sites Can’t thank Sicily in Travel and Luca for making part of my time in Ortigia SO MEMORABLE 😘😎 HIGHLY RECOMMEND Luca please don’t forget the recipes 🤣🤞😎😘☀️🤗
Great way to explore on your own three unique villages without having to drive the very narrow roads. Luca was a knowledgeable and friendly guide.
Luca was an outstanding driver and guide for our tour. He was warm, enthusiastic, and incredibly helpful throughout the day. At each stop, he shared interesting history, pointed out the must-see sights, and recommended the best local spots to try regional specialties. His drop-off locations were always central and convenient, which made exploring each town easy and stress-free. We were initially concerned that 90 minutes in each location wouldn’t be enough time, but it actually worked out perfectly. As long as you follow the guidance and grab quick bites instead of sitting down for a full meal, there’s plenty of time to see the highlights and enjoy the atmosphere of each town. Highly recommend!
Alberto was fantastic! I had just the right amount of time at each stop to get a taste of the three cities.
It was a great way to see these three cities. Driver was friendly and took great care of us.
Exactly what it says on the tin. A comfy air con minivan with a good and pleasant driver to take us between towns sightseeing independently. Good value, driver couldn’t have been more helpful and easy pick up and drop off with enough time for the sites
Towns of Ragussa and Noto were particularly charming. Modica was a city of workers with good chocolate Our driver Gabriello spoke some English but not as much as we were hoping But he was nice and a very good driver
