Ten stars!

My private tour of Siracusa and Noto with Alessandro was one of the highlights of my trip to Sicily. Ten stars! His knowledge of the history, architecture, and culture is exceptional, and he has a way of making every place feel meaningful rather than just another stop on an itinerary. Throughout the day he shared fascinating stories, pointed out details I would have completely missed on my own, and took me to some beautiful hidden spots. He also took incredible photos for me throughout the day, which was such an unexpected bonus as a solo traveller. The experience was so enjoyable that I didn’t hesitate to book Alessandro again for another private tour the very next day. That alone says everything. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely wants you to have the best possible experience in Sicily, Alessandro is the guide to book. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

The best tour company in Sicily!

Sicily with Love exceeded all our expectations! From start to finish, their organization was impeccable — they were highly responsive, communicated clearly, and made the entire planning process seamless and stress-free. Our driver, Giuseppe, was punctual, professional, and made every transfer smooth and comfortable. Our guide, Roberta, was truly outstanding — her knowledge of Siracusa and Ortigia was extensive, and she brought the history of these beautiful places to life with detailed, engaging storytelling. She was patient with our questions and clearly passionate about sharing Sicily’s rich culture and heritage. Every detail of our experience felt thoughtfully planned, and it’s clear this team genuinely cares about giving travelers an authentic and memorable journey. We can’t recommend Sicily with Love highly enough — thank you for such a wonderful, unforgettable experience!

Many thanks Patrizia

Entertaining day in Ortigia with a great guide

Outstanding day with Alessandro who was very informative, funny, accommodating and patient. His English was very good, and he was lighthearted and funny on a very hot day. He was great on pivoting as we chose to go to a winery, Barone Sergio, and limit the outdoor events due to the high heat. We also did more seaside activities like Marzamemi and the very unique tuna fisherman industry. The tour was tailored exactly to our needs and was not rushed or touristy at all. We were curious observers in the Ortigian way

Alessandro was a...

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.
