We had our own driver in a nice car. Our driver was so great taking us with clear instructions throughout the day.
Excellent tour from beginning to end with lots to see and experience. We were very fortunate to have Peter as our driver. He was polite, pleasant, friendly and very knowledgable about the places we visited which made our day worthwhile.
Our driver Hans Peter was amazing. Very flexible,easy going and a pleasure to spend the day with. The three cities were amazing and lunch by the sea was fantastic
Fantastic Day! Peter was our driver and he gave us good instructions & was a great driver in a lovely Mercedes Van. He was very punctual & we had free time to explore what we wanted in each place.
My friend and I had Peter as our driver to visit these 3 towns. We enjoyed all of the towns very much not only because of the rich histories but also because of Peter. Before arriving in Sicily, we heard that people in Sicily don’t speak much English and we experienced that with our other tours. But with Peter, he was very kind and introduced us to the sites we visited. He didn’t rush us and we learned a lot about the sites we visited. He is knowledgeable and kind! I truly appreciate his service! Thank you, Peter!
We had a great time with Peter who accompanied us on the tour with availability, sympathy creating a friendly atmosphere. Thank you.
We had a fantastic tour with Peter to these three wonderful places. Peter was a great & safe driver and a made the trip very personal and rememberable. The pick up at our appartment in Catania was absolutely on time and we had enough time to visit the Archeological Parc of Neapolis, Ortigia and Noto. Peter made an introduction to these places and accompanied us at the walks through Ortigia and Noto. On the return way he made an extra stop at a beach to show us his preferred place. Overall we had a great time not only visiting great places, but also having wonderful talks through the day. Thank you Peter for that experience!
Visiting Syracusa, Ortigia and Noto makes for a full and very interesting day. Our driver Peter was amazing, friendly, professional and caring. It is a highly recommended excursion!
What a great day! We were picked up within a 2 minute walk in of our hotel by a friendly driver and travelled in a nice Mercedes van. Our driver gave us a little in for Marion about where we were and where we were going, and as well answered all of our questions. Note that your guide does not take you through the Syracuse archaeological park which we did self directed and was very easy to work out. I read up ahead so it was pretty self explanatory. We then went to Ortigio where we met our guide, toured through Ortigio and then had some time to wander around and go for lunch. Then it was off to Noto where we could walk with the guide or walk around self-directed. Noto is very compact (historic centre) and we walked on our own. After about 75 minutes we were satisfied. Our driver picked us up exactly where and when he said. It was then time for the drive back to Catania. Our driver gave some recommendations for restaurants to try. He then followed up with a message with the restaurant directions as well thanking us for booking. All and all it was a lovely day. Both our driver and guide were knowledgeable and courteous, and both spoke great English well. I would recommend it. It was a great trip!
This was just a driver not a tour. I think we expected more. Driver just left us at Syracuse archaeological park without any explanation. Found Ortigia disappointing. Noto is really beautiful though.
Visit of the archaelogical park is on your own, as clerly stated in the tour description. Thank you for your review. Best regards.
