“I loved the tour from beginning to end. Andrea was an excellent driver and guide. It sounds like a lot to see in 8.5 hours but I felt satisfied that I got a good taste of Syracusa, Noto and Ortigia. The lunch was generous and the weather was nice enough to enjoy it outside. A very good value all around.”

4.Syracuse, Ortygia, and Noto Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 140 reviews

Ride from Catania to Syracuse, Ortygia, and Noto in an air-conditioned van. You get an audio guide in six languages, free time at each stop, and a driver who speaks English and Italian. Plan for self-guided sightseeing, a packed lunch, entrance fees, and tight timing at Neapolis.

“Il tour operator non era evidentemente a conoscenza dell’orario di chiusura del parco archeologico quindi quando siamo arrivati non ci hanno fatto entrare. Hanno cercato di rimediare portandoci a vedere le catacombe ma anche lì si entrava solo ad orari prestabiliti e solo con la guida quindi abbiamo deciso di soprassedere. Noto e Ortigia tutto bene ma non è un tour guidato, è semplicemente un autista che ti accompagna da un punto all’altro che per noi è andato benissimo, abbiamo preferito gestirci il nostro tempo da soli ma per chi si aspetta una guida sappia che non c’è. Organizzazione sicuramente da rivedere.”

“Our tour guide, Alessio, made our tour one to cherish. He was most courteous and helpful. The insights he presented helped us to get a true feeling for the people, their way of life and the history behind the architecture of the baroque style. Everything we saw and experienced was amazing and will give us lasting and fond memories of this part of the world. Alessio’s English speaking was very good and made communication with him easy and comfortable, especially considering that his first language is Italian. Organisational aspects were very good also - Alessio collected us from our accommodation on time and the tour went very smoothly, although the…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 98 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $126

“Iorga was very prompt at pick up which alleviated any anxiety at start of day. He did a good job with his English, he was very passionate and knowledgeable about Ortigia and Noto and provided great insight and information. Syracusa we toured without a guide. Iorga was very hospitable and welcoming- he provided a delightful lunch of a potato pizza he called “Scotchciatta” it was like a calzone, he also provided a delightful wine and cold water for us. The only thing I would have appreciated would be to somehow shorten this day - he did have to translate in 2 different languages- but I am not sure how much…”

12.Syracuse & Noto – Day Tour from Taormina

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 51 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $72

Travel from Taormina to Syracuse, Ortigia, and Noto in one full day. Expect guided walks, Greek ruins, the Arethusa Fountain, Baroque streets, and some free time. Guides such as Christian, Christie, and Santo have earned praise for their history and storytelling, but groups may reach 50 and several languages may be used.

“I will NOT recommend this tour. I have done many tours with different companies and I have never had an issue missing a tour. The communication with this company was terrible. On the date of the tour, my family and I waited for 25 min at the meeting point and the tour bus was not there. What is WORSE, no body answered my calls. The agency Viator tried to help me getting a refund from the operator but they declined. Don't go with this company, they take your money then they leave hanging in there when you need them. BAD BUSINESS.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 50 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $174

Travel from Syracuse to Ragusa Ibla, Modica, and Noto in an air-conditioned shared minivan or car. Your English-speaking driver provides transport, then you explore each town on your own for about 90 minutes. Expect a scenic, fast-paced day with no guided sightseeing or included meals.

“Tour of three cities (Noto, Ragusa, & Modica) just a drop off and on your own. As seniors (9) luckily, we saw a small hop on hop off train in each of the cities that would take us through the very hilly cities so that we could appreciate their beautful hills and valleys, otherwise we would not have been able to see as much. Viators description or the driver should have made a suggestion to us that there was a hop on hop off train. If we didn't see the train, we would have had a very limited excursion.”
