Today 8.30am be ready at pick-up location to meet our driver and departure from Siracusa in direction of Ragusa Ibla. You have the chance to explore independently the old part of the city and an undisputed reality of Baroque art.
Soon after, you will discover the local Chocolate in Modica. This particular chocolate is made with a very old recipe, the one coming from the Aztecs.
We then continue to Noto. In the Arab period the town was the capital of one of the three districts of Sicily (the Val di Noto) and once defeated by the Christians, Noto became a rich Norman city. Unfortunately, it was totally destroyed by the 1693 Sicilian earthquake and rebuilt in a new position nearer to the Ionian Sea. But the new Noto is a masterpiece of Sicilian Baroque!
Later we return to Siracusa (estimated arrival time h 4pm)

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our day trip to Noto, Modica and Ragusa. The itinerary was well designed and Francesco was a great driver. We highly recommend it, and look forward to taking other Tours of Sicily when we visit Palermo in the not too distant future.

I had to let you know that we took a tour arranged through your company to visit Val di Noto, and it was amazing due to our driver, Sergio Canfaillia! Sergio was a most gracious and informative host who went out of his way to show us the best parts of these charming and beautiful towns. He is a great host, and we are recommending him to our friends who are visiting in the fall.

We really didn't feel as if we got very much information about the two towns we visited on this tour. We mostly wandered around on our own. There was no commentary from the guide at all on the way home. She answered questions if we asked them, but didn't volunteer enough information. Additionally, the lunch was very minimal considering the cost of the tour. The tour wasn't worth the money we spent on it.
