What a wonderful day! Baroque Noto with it’s beautiful buildings and Ortigia with its tiny alleys and amazing cathedral. Salvo Pavone of Journeys Around Sicily was the perfect escort … professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. I highly recommend his tours and driving services. He offers the perfect solution for independent travelers.

We were picked up by Salvo, who was a lovely driver - be aware he is not a licensed tour guide, so when you venture out into Siracusa/Ortygia and in Noto, you are on your own. That was fine for us, and Salvo did chat with us along the drive about his life and experiences in Sicily which were very interesting. Thank you!

We recently took a day trip from Taormina to Siracusa, Ortigia and Noto. It was absolutely beautiful. My favorite place was Ortigia. The architecture there is stunning. It started to rain, so we missed Noto, but we plan to return as we would like to sample Corrado's gelato at the Cafe Sicilia.
