Graziana and Rosaria told me about this tour after I ve booked Etna tour. It was first excursion in Catania and it was awesome. Our guide Gioelle let us easy through thousands years of Sicilian history, it was remarkable, my 11 years old son also wasn't bored ;). Gioelle respected our personal interests and answered all our questions, gave us best individual recommendations for the free time in Noto. The food and vine were very delicious. Thank you very much!
