Fun and informative - Alessandro was great!
Thanks Of your words
We had an exceptional day touring Syracuse, Ortigia and Noto. Alessandro was outstanding, being so knowledgeable on all areas we visited and he gave us so much extra Sicilian information. He was an excellent driver and I would highly recommend this tour.
Thank you for sharing your experience
We spend very pleasant day with Alessandro. He provided us a lot of information, not just a history, but about present life, famous movie Malena that most of scenes are made in Syracusa
Thank you for sharing your experience Patrizia
Allessandro gave us a very full day out, but at a relaxed pace. He was very knowledgeable of the area and history. He made sure that we were comfortable all day, and was a safe driver.
Thank you For sharing your experience patrizia sicilywithlovetransferandtour
Alessandro was a wonderful companion for the day. He was very knowledgeable about the history & beautiful sites & customized the itinerary based on my interests. I felt I experienced Syracuse, Noto and Ortigia in depth & saw things I would have missed on my own. We drove from Cantania and back for the day tour & it was easily done and very enjoyable.
Many thanks Patrizia sicilywithlovetransferandtour
Alessandro walked us through the local ruins and architecture then drove us to museums, the beach, and the archaeological park (well worth it). Excellent day excursion.
Many thanks Patrizia Sicily with love transfer and tour

Many thanks Patrizia Sicilywithlovetransferandtour
This trip was a complete ripoff. This guide knew nothing about the attractions we stopped at and did not enter the archaeological areas we visited just told us to go walk and he would wait in the car on everything we did. We were so frustrated with home we released him at lunchtime. We had a driver at best but a terrible guide and do not believe he had a license to be a guide. We’ll definitely look to our credit card company to get a full refund. Hopefully Victor will refund our money but more importantly only use licensed guides. Betsy M
Dear Betsy, we are sorry for your review and even more so for your satisfaction with the service we provided. We believe this review is absolutely undeserved. From the morning onwards, the specifics of the tour and the included services were reiterated to you. Furthermore, you visited more sites than those described, you were looked after and accompanied, the driver was ready to help you because you had problems with your knee, and you were given maximum flexibility regarding the times of your visits. Only after lunch at 3:15 pm, a good 7 hours after the start of the tour, did you communicate that you did not want to continue the tour because you were tired from the journey the day before. You took photos, thanked the driver, and left a tip. I myself heard your husband thank him, telling the driver, "Thank you, everything is fine." Therefore, we are amazed and sorry for your disappointment.There was also a guided tour of Ortigia .And we were already out of time and we paid the entrance to the cathedral for you.Creating serious inconvenience for us.In conclusion, your review is false and not objective.
Alessandro took us on a fantastic custom tour of Siracusa/Ortigia as part of our transfer from Noto to Taormina during our Sicily vacation. We spent about 8 hours with him. We saw a lot and learned a lot. He was super enthusiastic and had a great sense of humor, always sharing his knowledge with us. The time was well organized with a wide variety of sights, some shopping and some eating, and plenty of flexibility and optionality of our choosing also in the schedule. Original booking and communication was also very smooth. Highly recommend spending time with Alessandro!
Many thanks patrizia sicilywithlovetransferandtour
