Syracuse en Noto - Dagtocht vanuit Taormina
Beschrijving
U kunt de twee meest karakteristieke barokke steden van Sicilië in één dag bezoeken. Hun architectuur wordt gekenmerkt door de lokale witte steen in Syracuse en de roze steen in Noto. U bezoekt het historische centrum van Syracuse: Ortigia. Een panoramische wandeling brengt u langs de iconische bezienswaardigheden van de stad, met als hoogtepunt de kathedraal: de oude tempel van Apollo en het prachtige barokke plein waarop het staat. U leert diepgaand over de Griekse oorsprong van de stad Syracuse en de getuigenissen die tot op de dag van vandaag bewaard zijn gebleven: het Archeologisch Park Neapolis. Onder begeleiding van de Gids bezoekt u het Griekse theater, het Latomia del Paradiso, het oor van Dionysius en het Romeinse amfitheater. In de late namiddag keert u moe maar met ogen vol verwondering terug naar het startpunt.

I would highly recommend this tour. Our guide (Christin, I think) and bus driver (Sebastien) were there to pick us up on time. The bus had air conditioning and was very comfortable. I was incredibly impressed by the vast amount of knowledge our guide had about the region and sights we visited and by how fluent he was in English, French, German, and of course Italian. I would definitely join this tour again.
It was exactly what we wanted to see in both Noto and Syracuse/Ortigia ! What made a huge difference was our superb guide Christy ! He spoke in fluent English, French, German, Italian and was an incredible wealth of knowledge of the historical background to present day life in each location we visited. He was able to correlate the importance and history and importance of these places with other places in Italy and the world. His explanations and knowledge far surpassed our expectations and in fact make us want to return to Sicily to discover other places on this beautiful island ! Thank-you Christy and Sicily Excursions - well planned, well done !
Very nice trip. However, the tour guides had to provide information to the guests in four different languages. That was less enjoyable, thus boring. Two languages are okay, four languages are too much.
The tour guide was almost impossible to follow; he was probably a marathon runner 🏃♂️. Did not take the group into account. No time for photos. With 4 languages, simply too much.

Christy was a fantastic guide, keeping us all informed of the sites histories and more besides. All in four languages! Nota and Syracuse are beautiful places. He was aided by the great driver Sebastian

The guide Christy was truly exceptional; she enriched us with all the curiosities and the millennia-old history of these fantastic places (Noto, Syracuse Ortigia). The service was impeccable, the driver Tonino was very professional and punctual. Unfortunately, the time was limited; we would have liked to spend more time exploring Ortigia. But it is fine as it is.
I would absolutely recommend this trip, it was extremely well organised and I had a wonderful day. Noto and Syracuse were beautiful and the food and drinks were considerably cheaper than Taormina which is where I’m staying. Christy was my guide , he was absolutely wonderful, Christy’s intelligence and knowledge is outstanding and Sebastian is an incredible driver, he ensured we arrived and returned safely. I met some lovely people on the trip, which is important to me as I’m a female solo traveller.

Too long, too boring. Few photo opportunities, and having to keep going. No relaxing day trip.
Dear Ruuudr, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the tour did not fully meet your expectations in terms of pace and opportunities for taking photos. Our itinerary is designed to allow guests to visit several points of interest within a single day, which may require a moderate amount of walking and a relatively structured schedule. We understand, however, that every traveler has different preferences, and some may prefer a more relaxed experience with additional free time. Your comments are valuable to us and help us evaluate ways to further improve the experience we offer. Thank you again for your review, and we wish you all the best in your future travels. Kind regards, Sicilyexcursions Team
It was really great 🤩 ! Christy is truly an excellent guide !!! Very nice and super interesting ! You really learn a lot with him ! The only small downside: not enough time during lunch (restaurant + visit to Syracuse Street) in 50 minutes is a bit too short… but otherwise it was really magnificent 🤩 ! Thank you very much
